life content in her own world. But it seems that Amy's world is full of
strange happenings such as the spontaneous appearances of puddles of water
around her and two-sided conversations with insects. Told with an arresting

Zero
Girl: Full Circle (5-issue mini; w & a Sam Kieth).
[From DC Comics: Meanwhile, 15 years later
Zero Girl: Full
Circle continues the story of Amy Smootster and Tim Foster, two people who
were perfect for each other in every way
except for the timing. Now,
after so many years, their orbits again intersect. Tim is a single father
whose daughter, Nikki, develops shape-based psychic powers (sound familiar?)
and he seeks out Amy for her advice and experience -- but is that his only
reason for re-establishing contact? Time heals all wounds, they say, but
Amy and Tim have a history, and all manner of new problems to overcome --
including Nikki's mother (the less said about her the better). Has their
time finally come?] |
