******************

Advance Reviews are in:

“This is definitely the book I’ll be most recommending to people this week.” — NEWSARAMA’s Amanda McDonald

“Even without Lee’s name, this project would be worth checking out.” — IGN

“SOLDIER ZERO should be picked up…your not going to want to miss what is next! 9 out of 10″ — PLAYER AFFINITY

“I highly recommend you give this title a chance. Stan Lee wouldn’t steer you wrong” — PENDRAGON’S POST

“I am hooked. If you’ve read and enjoyed other BOOM! titles like IRREDEEMABLE or INCORRUPTIBLE, you should definitely enjoy this.” — COMIC VINE

“Stan Lee has done it again!” — JAZMA ONLINE

“Cornell and Pina create a really intriguing first issue.” — COMICS BULLETIN

“Pina’s art is the perfect companion to Cornell’s script and both are more than capable of handling this momentous launch and doing justice to a Stan Lee creation. Bring on issue two!”— POP CULTURE ZOO

“Writer Paul Cornell’s exploration of the experiences of a disabled person rings true and makes for some strong interpersonal moments in the story… Javier Pina seems to take a two-pronged approach to the art for this inaugural issue, and it’s quite effective. The slick, sci-fi elements boast a bold, sharp look, and the action is choreographed quite well. But for the more down-to-earth moments, there’s a lighter touch at play.” — EYE ON COMICS

“Javier Pina’s art is simply fantastic, filled with clean bold lines, and a rich assortment of facial expressions. He’s truly one of those artists who doesn’t just DRAW a story, but TELLS a story in picture form. It’s great. And Alfred Rockefeller’s colors really sell it.” — PROJECT FANBOY

“There was nobility there in Cornell’s writing… I can say this – I REALLY enjoyed Javier Pina’s art. He’s a real find… Ok, Stan Lee may not have written the script, but this is a Stan Lee book through and through” —MULTIVERSITY COMICS

“…look at the hero behind the mask — and you’ll find that Soldier Zero is really, truly, finally not like any other character out there” — NEWSARAMA’s David Pepose
