Catwoman #0

Part of DC's "Zero Hour" initiative in 1994, this special issue promises "The Beginning of Tomorrow!" and delivers a striking cover by Jim Balent showing Selina Kyle in full purple costume, her whip coiling dynamically around her as she leaps through a shower of shattering debris against a glowing green-lit cityscape. Writer Doug Moench and artist Jim Balent are at the helm for "Cat Shadows," making this a confident statement of purpose for the series. It's a vivid, kinetic snapshot of Catwoman at her most self-assured — exactly the kind of bold reset that a #0 issue is built for.
