Zero Year by Jorge Lucas, Travis Moore, Brian Buccellato, Juan Castro, Jeff Lemire, Romano Molenaar, Jeremy Haun
2.0
During The Nu 52, Scott Snyder started a flashback story about the early days of Batman called Year Zero. It takes place six years before the Nu-52's current timeline, and involves The Riddler taking advantage of a superstorm to take over Gotham. It's an ok story, and some of the early issues are collected here.
Also collected are a bunch of mostly Batman-adjacent DC titles that take place during this Zero Year superstorm.
Usually, I love a collection that puts a whole crossover in roughly chronological order but there isn't really a through narrative to these books they just all take place during the super storm and they all serve as rebooted origins of DC characters for this Nu 52 timeline. Their qualities vary but none of them are So Good that you simply must read them if you're reading Batman. I'm guessing that they all read better at the beginning of their respective titles. And they've all been collected in their respective titles, so my advice is to skip this and track those down. This is a perfectly mediocre library read to see if you want to pick up any of the other books but I don't recommend paying for this.
