DC Comics reveals “Generation Zero” for Free Comic Book Day 2020

The future of the DC Universe’s new timeline will be explored even further when Free Comic Book Day arrives this May, as DC Comics has revealed via Newsarama that a new one-shot called “Generation Zero” will be released on that day to celebrate and promote the hobby of comic book reading.

As the article states, the lead story of the one-shot will be an epilogue to the Wally West starring “Flash Forward” miniseries, in which the time-displaced Flash and speedster will inherit the powers of Doctor Manhattan via the Mobius Chair. What exactly Wally will do with those powers is anyone’s guess - but it looks like the story teases that he’ll be pulling off a “Zero Hour” (DC fans will know what this means), as the cover to the one shot drawn by artist Francis Manapul shows. DC has constantly teased there will be major changes - and this looks like the start of things following the events of DC Rebirth, Heroes In Crisis, and Doomsday Clock.

The “Generation Zero” one-shot with the Flash Forward epilogue and reprinted story from Wonder Woman #750 will be released on Free Comic Book Day on May 2nd.

DC Comics unveils Jim Lee's FCBD New 52 Cover

DC Comics has unveiled the cover fans will undoubtedly talk about and want: Jim Lee's cover artwork to their Free Comic Book Day book entitled DC Comics The New 52 FCBD Edition! Besides illustrating the cover you see above, Lee will also illustrate five pages of the free book being given away on May 5, 2012, including a four-page gatefold that introduces a new storyline for Justice League, a book that he and writer Geoff Johns have launched and are currently doing for The New 52!

As Co-Publisher of DC Entertainment, Lee's work has been highly valued in the comic book world, and he's known for his works in comic books such as Wildcats, X-Men, Batman: Hush, and now Justice League. As a fan of his works, this is a stellar cover featuring the trinity of DC heroes - Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Right at the background is the mysterious Pandora, who was first introduced in the pre-New 52 storyline Flashpoint and has been seen watching events from behind the scenes. One has to wonder what kind of story the New 52 FCBD will provide besides being a primer of the new DC Universe.
