Publisher’s description

This is it! The greatest DC characters! Your favorite writers and artists! Everything leading to Final Crisis and beyond starts here for just 50¢! Take a journey through the past and present of the DCU, and witness the emergence of the greatest evil in the universe — and the stunning return of a force for good! You dare not miss DC Universe: Zero! Much like previous DC events, Final Crisis kicks off with a specially priced one-shot highlighting the state of the DC Universe. Unlike previous events, this DC one-shot also gives the straight dope on some non-Crisis related things about to take off, so let's cover all the bases shall we?
