I must admit to do some serious curiosity about what they might do with an XO zero... Considering we have had a fairly in depth origin for Aric already... :hm:
Maybe it would be the definitive origin of Shanhara. :) We've only seen the Vine's tale about Shanhara but we are not sure if it is the true origin.

An interesting aspect about the zero issues so far is that they all used a narrator as storytelling device. Will they continue that trend with Bloodshot?

Good call... perhaps an XO zero about Shanhara will spin out of the upcoming Unity storyline...

eh, the idea for pushing these books out may be linked to marketing and tying to find a new way to provide interest. However we already know their goal it to provide the best possible story for their fans and for the 0 issues I've read I haven't felt lacking.

Also, if at any point they feel they did put out a 0 too soon and want to expant on thay issues story there's alway the "00 issue" option :D
