'Zero' #1 by Ales Kot and Michael Walsh - Comic Book Hot Pick

Covert Action Thriller 

Image Comics - Rated M for Mature

SAVING THE WORLD. ONE MURDER AT A TIME. 

Edward Zero is the perfect execution machine – a spy who breaks the rules to get things done. When a stolen device appears in the center of a long-running conflict, Zero comes to retrieve it.  The problem is, the device is inside a living, breathing, bio-modified terrorist and there's an entire army after it.

 The action starts on page two and just builds momentum from there. Edward Zero, amid the Israeli conflict in Gaza, has a mission and nothing, I mean nothing or noone, is going to stand in his way. While the bio-modified agents square off, super soldiers essentially, Zero races against time to retrieve a device at all costs. Ales Kot's script is lean and tight and properly brought to life with Michael Walsh's pencils especially with expressing gritty violent fighting. Image has another winner in 'Zero' and worth adding to your pull list if you like no-holds-barred spy action drama.
