This week, the blockbuster Bat-event "Zero Year" spills into other titles, including some surprises. You may expect Detective Comics and Batwing to carry the label, but Action Comics and Green Arrow are also joining the event that brings readers back to the Caped Crusader's roots.

Creators on New 52 books were given the option to tie characters to the blossoming, Zero Year Bruce Wayne in their 25th issues. Green Arrow battles Killer Moth in Gotham City for his narrative, while a young and fiery Supes also makes a visit in Action Comics. The Flash #25 and Green Lantern Corps #25 (but not the core Green Lantern series), the latter being the most intriguing tie-in, are also ahead.

Otherwise, the Title You Can't Miss this week is a tie, between Amazing X-Men #1, featuring the much-anticipated return of Nightcrawler, and Image's East of West #7, a series that continues to impress. See what else is coming out below.
