Edward Zero’s bed is warm. He’s got Siobhan now. He’s got a snow-covered cottage nestled in Iceland’s remote countryside. He’s got pet chickens, wine, and a car. He had two full bags of groceries before he launched them at the face of the assassin waiting for him to get home…

You know what, I’m just going to be fully honest with this one: I’m tired of waiting for these issues of “ZERO” to come out. Then when they do come out, I get tired of writing reviews for them. I’m tired of trying to convince you jokers to start reading this incredibly fascinating series. I’m tired of trying to think of new ways to explain how blown away I am by the creative artistry of the artist each issue (#11 is drawn by Ricardo Lopez Ortiz, by the way) and the narrative genius that Kot injects into his storylines. I’m tired of flipping the page, seeing the paneling, and saying, “shoot, look at that paneling.” I’m tired of rereading each issue thinking, no, knowing that I’m missing sometime big. I’m tired of all the burning questions I have by the end of each issue. What’s with the volcano? Who’s on the phone? What does it all mean? It’s so tiring!
Are you reading this Ales Kot & co.? I’m tired!
Dammit. Until next time…
