Written by Adam Beechen and illustrated by Talent Caldwell, the story reintroduces characters like Caitlin Fairchild and her teammates as they face threats both external and internal. The collection serves as a starting point for readers new to the team's adventures in the DC Universe.
In this pivotal first issue of Gen13 (2007), written by Gail Simone and illustrated by Talent Caldwell, the team—led by the sharp-witted Roxanne "Freefall" Spaulding—makes a desperate bid for freedom from Tablua Rasa’s high-security holding cell. With electrified restraints and a prototype transport device at their disposal, they fight their way out only to be gunned down by Mr. Lynch, who’s been ordered to stop them at any cost. Cover by J. Scott Campbell, with inks by Avalon Studios, captures the intensity of their escape attempt.
In "null," Gen 13 fights to escape Tablua Rasa’s high-security holding cell after Dr. Cross orders the guards to execute Freefall. With their electrified restraints and quick thinking, the team overpowers one guard and forces the other to release them—only to be hunted by Mr. Lynch, who’s been given orders to stop them at any cost. As they make a desperate bid for freedom using a prototype transport, Freefall is shot, leaving their escape hanging in the balance.
In "null," Gen 13 finds themselves caught in a tense standoff with the "Heavenly Choir" from Cell 11, who’ve taken a nun hostage at a shelter and are broadcasting the confrontation for profit. With Freefall recovering from a gunshot wound and Dr. Cross pulling strings from behind the scenes, the team must navigate a dangerous situation where the line between rescue and spectacle blurs.
In "null," Grunge [Percival Edmund Chang] is taken by Lucy of the Heavenly Choir, setting off a chain of events that forces him into a sudden, violent awakening. When Dr. Cross' men intervene, Grunge's latent powers surge as he defends Lucy, thrusting him into the full force of his Gen-13 abilities. The story builds to a tense revelation when Roxanne's real father arrives, stepping into the fray with a shocking truth about Grunge—and a promise to help.
In "null," Jo finds herself caught between loyalty and the weight of secrets when her father, Hogan, reveals his hidden role in the creation of Gen 13 and the mysterious Gen 11. With the help of a teleporter he’s kept hidden, the team returns to Tabula Rasa—only to learn Grunge has vanished without a trace.
In "null," Jo and the remnants of Gen 11 track down the fugitive Dr. Cross, guided by the spectral presence of Lucy in the Sky. As tensions rise and loyalties fracture, Mr. Lynch and Megan confront their manipulator—only to see their path to justice cut short when the helicopter carrying Dr. Cross crashes before Gen 13 can reach him.
