About this Collection

This massive omnibus collects the zero issues from across DC's entire New 52 line, originally published in September 2012. Each story provides a jumping-on point or origin tale for the relaunched series, including the first appearance of the new Shazam family—Billy Batson, Mary Bromfield, Freddy Freeman, and the rest—as well as key moments for John Constantine, Zatanna, and the villainous Black Adam and Dr. Sivana. Spanning the full breadth of the New 52 universe, this volume serves as a comprehensive snapshot of DC's bold reboot era.

"Shazam!" from the 2013 DC Comics: The New 52 Zeros Omnibus introduces a pivotal origin story set in the 31st century, where a desperate scientist’s quest for redemption leads to a legacy of power and choice. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, Pete Woods, and Brad Anderson, this tale follows Brin, the son of a murdered scientist, as he grapples with the consequences of enhanced abilities and the weight of justice. The cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado captures the story’s high-stakes tone, making this a standout entry in the New 52 era.

When a scientist on the planet Zuun in the 31st century, Marr Londo, doesn't produce a formula to enhance the healing and physical abilities of humans fast enough, his benefactor, Lord Vykor, kills the scientist's wife. After using the formula on himself and his son, Londo attempts to take his revenge, but fails, leaving his son, Brin, an orphan. Brin grows up and, though he considers personally taking revenge with the enhanced abilities given him by his father, he decides to turn Lord Vykor over to the authorities for justice.
