Review: Zero #4

What happens when you get a glimpse of yourself and what you are to become? Do you like the results or will you try and change your fate? Read this review to know what I am saying.

Official Description:

“Rio, 2019. Edward Zero looks in a mirror and the mirror gives him unsettling answers. The mirror being Carlyle, ex-Agency spy, holed up in a favela, running his own gang.”

So this is a very interesting issue of Zero, because it really gives us a sense of what happens to people when they go into the work that Zero is going into. It’s something that stories have used for a long time as a foreshadowing technique; it is something that I really enjoy in a story. However, Zero does it a little different.  They don’t automatically go for the traditional “Beware” story where the people get this Charles Dickens ghost situation. It is part of the continuing story. See, Zero, see an ex agent who has been seriously messed up by the things that he has had to do and continues to do. I mean you really feel the pain that he’s going through, just by his mannerisms and the way that he talks. It is a very interesting issue.

The story, as I stated before, is very interesting and keeps the readers on their toes through psychological intrigue. You really get into the minds of, both, Zero and Carlyle. It is a really interesting dynamic that works well. The one thing that I have to say is that the questions and answers that are between the two agents is very exciting and works well with this comic. I really enjoy it.

The art of this issue is interesting and exciting. I think that it is very cool the way that you can make things interesting, just by the way the art is done. I mean action wise, this issue doesn’t have it but the art is still as interesting as ever.

Overall, I believe this issue is a four out of five.  I thought it was exciting and fun but I thought that it kind of dragged, just a little.
