Thank you everyone for giving DC Year Zero a chance. In the past months we have gained more titles, more readers, and more interest than I thought possible so soon. The popularity of the ultimatized DC world is definitely intriguing to many. We have decided to make it a reality. Even in the Fan Fic world. This site isn’t an Elseworlds site. This is our modern vision of how the DCU would pan out if re-imagined in our times. Think about it. Would Superman have Clark Kent as an identity in 2008? Probably not. We explore that and other entertaining ideas in our Universe.
Thanks to the host of writers on the site which include Dave Golightly, Tom Moses, Hunter Lambright, Ed Ainsworth, Gavin Devlin, and myself, Jake Spade we will give you what you have wanted that the mainstream won’t attempt.
