Starting in August, Ground Zero will be spotlighting the essential Graphic Novels that belong in every collection. These are the books that we find ourselves recommending to both new readers and established fans who for one reason or another have not read them. Kingdom Come was originally published in 1996 and quickly became one of […]
“Sick thing is, it takes a situation like this to make us look death in the face. Really look at it. And that’s the only way you know what life is worth.” – Wolverine, Endangered Species Endangered Species is, if you listen to what Marvel puts on their trade dress, the prequel to the wildly […]
The latest Marvel Superhero to leap to the big screen is Captain America. The First Avenger premiers Friday, July 22, but Ground Zero patrons can attend a sneak preview on Thursday, July 21st at 8pm, courtesy your favorite local comic shop and the Hollywood Rose Cinema. Ground Zero is offering you two ways to attend […]
I was already a science fiction fan when the summer of 1977 rolled around. Star Trek had been cancelled eight years earlier, which to someone as young as I, was a very long time. There was little SciFi on TV and less at the movies. Oddly enough, what SciFi there was at the movies was […]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but it seems to me like excitement over the September DC Relaunch is reaching a fever pitch around here, and now the most recent issue of Previews, with solicits for all 52 new DC # 1’s is available at Ground Zero. So if there’s a few titles […]
I figure, if I’m going to start writing new trade reviews for the site, where else to start than with the granddaddy of them all? There’s nothing I can really say about Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen that hasn’t already been said repeatedly throughout the time since the first issue appeared on comic stands […]
