In an apocalyptic future where a being known as Brother Eye has gained control of earth by assimilating all its living beings including their greatest heroes, the only hope resides in Bruce Wayne's plans for Terry McGinnis traveling to the past to prevent this from happening. However, time travel is more problematic than what it seems.
This is the 0 issue from DC's Free Comic Book Day offer of this year that sets the stage for the upcoming weekly and I must say that it does a solid job at doing so.
Brian Azzarello, Keith Giffen, Jeff Lemire and Dan Jurgens handle the writing for this new title and all of them do a consistent job at creating a cohesive voice for the story. This kind of apocalyptic future tales are nothing new to the industry and neither the concept of heroes turning into beings seeking to destroy everything (This concept already appeared in DC's own Blackest Night and Rotworld) so the real deal will be how these authors exploit the premise of different futures clashing and the potential for those kind of stories. As I said before, this issue creates the threat that unleahses the story but it needs something more unique to generate interest.
Art duties are shared by Ethan Van Sciver, Dan Jurgens, Aaron Lopresti, Patrick Zircher and Jesus Merino and they all do a pretty good job at maintaining a consistent style during the issue. The tone was a bit overly dark and lacking in the color department but I guess that's what you would expect from this kind of plot.
Solid definitely but I'm not completely sold yet, I hope that the next issue from next week starts delivering the potential.
