Zero Hour - Definition and Overview

In 1994 DC Comics decided to publish a five-issue crossover limited series (numbered in reverse order - it began with issue #4 and ended with #0).

That series, in some ways a repeat or aftermath of Crisis on Infinite Earths, featured most of the characters published by DC at the time. It retconned a number of things on the DC Universe continuity, and also served to launch and end a number of ongoing series. All DC comics published immediately after the end of the series had a #0 issue (both limited series such as Xenobrood, new series such as Fate or already existing series such as Hawkman).
