DC Universe #0 (2008) serves as a pivotal launching point into one of the most significant eras in DC Comics history. Acting as both an epilogue to past events and a prologue to what lies ahead, this special issue sets the stage for Final Crisis, while also teasing major developments across the wider DC Universe.
Written by Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns, two of DC’s most influential storytellers, and brought to life by a team of top-tier artists including George Pérez, J.G. Jones, and Tony Daniel, this issue is packed with cryptic foreshadowing, iconic moments, and subtle clues that lead directly into multiple titles and crossover arcs.
Narrated from a mysterious, almost omniscient perspective — later revealed to be Barry Allen returning from the Speed Force — the issue moves briskly through a series of connected vignettes featuring Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Lantern, and more. Each scene hints at dramatic shifts, from the looming cosmic threat of Darkseid to the rise of the Black Lantern Corps.
Far more than just a promotional one-shot, DC Universe #0 is an essential read for fans looking to understand the connective tissue between major storylines from the late 2000s, including Final Crisis, Blackest Night, and Flash: Rebirth. It’s a tight, tantalising read that offers a glimpse into the future of heroism, destiny, and doom.
