The Ray #0 – Vol. 2 (1994) introduces readers to a fresh chapter in the legacy of DC Comics’ light-powered superhero. As a pivotal zero issue, this comic serves as both a compelling origin story and a vital bridge to the new ongoing series. It’s a key collector’s item for fans of the 1990s superhero revival era and those following the lineage of Ray Terrill, a character whose power is matched only by his inner conflict.

Written by Christopher Priest, with striking artwork by Howard Porter, this issue delves deep into Ray Terrill’s transformation from a reclusive young man into a hero capable of harnessing and manipulating pure light. Hidden from the world due to a mysterious illness and the controlling influence of his father, Ray’s life changes forever upon learning the truth about his powers—and his heritage.

What follows is a sharp, emotionally charged journey as Ray steps out of the shadows, determined to forge his own identity as The Ray. Unlike traditional superheroes of the time, Ray struggles with isolation, anxiety, and legacy, making his emergence as a hero both empowering and deeply personal. The writing captures the tension between secrecy and self-acceptance, while the visuals explode with kinetic energy—bursting with radiant light effects that showcase the full potential of the character’s abilities.

This zero issue also lays the groundwork for several arcs that would play out in subsequent issues of The Ray Vol. 2, making it a foundational piece for any fan of 90s DC continuity or light-based heroes. It blends superhero spectacle with thoughtful character work and stands as an essential part of DC’s post-Crisis on Infinite Earths evolution.
