Dial H #0

The zero issue of DC's Dial H — part of the New 52 initiative — arrives in November 2012 with a striking cover penciled and inked by Brian Bolland and Mateus Santolouco: a regal, crown-adorned woman in ancient robes thrusts the legendary H-Dial directly toward the viewer, its circular face etched with mysterious symbols. The composition bursts through a collage of greyscale comic panels, giving the image a vivid, era-spanning energy that suits writer China Miéville's inventive approach to the property. With interior art by Riccardo Burchielli and a story titled "Sundial H for Hero," this origin-minded issue is a compelling entry point into one of 2012's most imaginative superhero series.
