An Emergency by Aleš Kot
4.0
'Zero, Volume 1 An Emergency' collects issues 1-5 of the new series. Each issue is a somewhat standalone story contributing to the overall story. Different contributing artists on each issue give different color palettes as the story shifts through time.
Edward Zero is a trained assassin. He's been trained from a young age. He learns early on not to have sympathy for his targets, even if they seem sympathetic. He's learned to do his missions dispassionately and run his life without emotion, or at least learned to hide it from his handlers. But there is emotion in this character. In one scene, it jumps from the page in a powerful scene of loss.
It seems to pull no punches, and it's quite adult in nature, but it's pretty good. I look forward to seeing what happens in future volumes.
