We’re in anniversary month (no this one doesn’t have a picture) the month
the marks a full year since the beginning of my reviews. And who would’ve
thought that after a year, I’d have done nearly 200 review entries for the
site?
So, it’s
time to look back at a past project. Zero moth and cr*ppy Scott Lobdell? Wait,
this one was written by Tom Defalco. Former editor in chief of Marvel comics?
Writer of some decent Nightwing tie-ins and co-writer of the very good
Nightwing #0. Wait, this is when he was still adapting Lobdell’s stories,
wasn’t it? Never mind. He would be writing his own scripts in future
instalments of the book but of course it wouldn’t be far into that where he’d
have to cross over with another Lobdell story, H'el on Earth. (I’ve heard mixed
responses about that one, but since Lobdell was handling the Superman titles
and this was post Teen Titans #0, I never read it, nor do I plan on doing so)
The problem
with zero month and a comic series like this is that they’ve already done his origin, his
origin for the new 52 was outlined in the early issues of the title. So what do
you do with an issue like this? Find a way to make it needlessly complicated of
course.
