Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In 2038, an old, scarred man sits on the cliffs of Dover drinking from a bottle. A boy has come to kill him, but before the happens, the man has a story to tell. Thus begins Zero, an Image Comics series by Ales Kot. Zero tells the life story of Edward Zero, a former super spy for the shadowy "Agency", as a series of vignettes (each issue being a self contained story illustrated by a different artist) stretching from 1994 to the future. At some point in the past Edward had a moral crisis and quit the Agency, but all is not quite as it seems.What looks at a glance like a simple spy story quickly becomes more complex as more of Edward's complex life is revealed. Seemingly unimportant details from early issues later tie into the larger story in surprising and shocking ways. As such, be aware that this is a series with a lot of spoilers. While the series has no regular illustrator, the colors are always done by Jordie Bellaire which lends a strong sense of consistency.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Affably Evil: Ginsberg Nova is a violent dangerous terrorist who is oddly polite and even affectionate to Edward. The effect is creepy.

Gainax Ending: Zero is comforted by his father while in a fungus-induced haze, while also being confronted (and possibly killed) by his son in the future. He is then allowed to "choose" a multiverse to live in by a cosmic being. Also, William Burroughs is featured.

Continuity Nod: Issue #11 features a young assassin on her first assignment, attempting to kill Edward much like how Edward was required to do so in #2.

Eye Scream: Carlyle shoves glass in Zero's eye. He just has a hole there now (or in 2018 a glass eye).

Bad Future: Which turns out to be an alternate future. Apparently the fungus doesn't care about the boundaries of a single universe.

Fungus Humongous: In the future, gigantic mushrooms grow out of the ocean. Issue 12 involves a child from the agency who has control over fungus. He's effectively immortal as he's merged with them.
