  Comic Book Revolution - Rokk Krinn

  DC Universe #0 did its job with me. The purpose of this issue was to get the reader excited about various titles and upcoming story arcs. And, for the most part, DC has piqued my interest about the various story arcs headed our way. And most importantly, DC got me psyched for Final Crisis. And that was necessary since Countdown to Final Crisis pretty much killed much of my interest in Morrison's grand event. Read Full Review

  Buy it. It's only 50 cents but it looks and reads like a solid $3.99. Read Full Review

  Yes, it's a meaningless comic book on its own, but it establishes the players for the cosmic game which will soon occur. It's exactly what "Countdown" failed to be, and at fifty cents, how can you pass it up? Read Full Review

  Eye On Comics - Don MacPherson

  What's aggravating about this comic book is its seemingly piecemeal construction. I was convinced until later on in the script that this was nothing more than a series of scenes from upcoming comic books reproduced here. I had the distinct impression there was nothing original created for this comic other than some narration. I'm pretty sure now that's not the case, but if it were revealed to be true, I wouldn't be surprised. I suppose I shouldn't expect a wholly original work for a mere four bits, but that initial feeling that I'd been cheated scratched at the back of my mind even after I'd finished reading and decided otherwise.

  Libra and the Secret Society: they're nothing next to Darkseid. As always. Jury still out.So, basically, I read at least two of the Trinity already (and Superman when the Legion shows up), I don't care about Hal Jordan, and I'll give Final Crisis a shot mostly for J.G. Jones. Would I have done all those things before reading this issue? Yes. Read Full Review

  As such, it sums this issue up pretty well. Read Full Review

  It's hard to feel ripped off by a comic that costs 50, but this comic succeeds at that task. Read Full Review

  After hearing from several readers who told me that the "preview pages" in DC Universe 0 are not excerpted from their respective series, I wrote an addendum to my review that I have posted on the message boards.
