DC Universe #0

Superman surges forward at the center of this sprawling George Pérez cover, cape billowing dramatically as an extraordinary assembly of DC heroes and villains surrounds him — The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Hawkman, Batman, The Joker, Captain Cold, Reverse-Flash, and dozens more crowd every corner in an electric, chaotic tableau. Written by Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns, this ambitious 2008 one-shot carries the tantalizing tagline "The Ending Begins Here," teasing the shape of things to come across the DC Universe. At just fifty cents, it's a remarkably generous entry point into whatever storm is gathering on the horizon.
