Year Zero.
on July 21, 2014 at 12:01 amScott Snyder totally stole the whole Year Zero name thing from me! ‘Course, he switched the words around, but I’M ON TO YOU, DUDE.
We see Agatha on the ground there in panel one. Next to her is someone I presume is the red-headed squadmate who I’d never given a name to according to my knowledge. So he has a full name now and she now has a last one.
Also, I wonder how the hell Dina is fallen out of her bed. She was just sleeping in it! The amount of her consciousness was unaltered! I mean, sure, it’s more dramatic this way, but okey doke whatevs. Regardless, it’s good to show little scenes like this, of everyone fallen over, just to give a sense of scale to the incident. The original strips didn’t show other folks at all until they were needed later.

(Ow.)
This is SO much better than Roomies.
Remember though, these are the rebooted strips, after Willis had years of experience already.
Honestly, I’m pretty sure I’m just going to enjoy this for different reasons than Roomies.
less shared embarrassment about a self-righteous religious past, and more sci-fi awesomeness.
It could of been something like “Hey! I’m awak-” *unconsciousness*
Catapult Nightmare? Except still asleep?
Boomerang nightmare
She got up for a bowl of cereal.
Panel 2 looks like a wrench breaking through.
Year Zero not only knocked many abductees completely unconcious, but also had a side effect of shifting all the beds violently to the left.
The sleep of millions will be slightly disturbed! The fiends!
Zero Quake, bed roll.
I love that last panel with Head Alien. He looks incredibly sinister. Great into for the character (far better than the far less threatening one in Roomies).
After a few picks of people passed out the last pick of Dina in her bed as if nothing happened would have been awkward, or hilarious, depending on your view.
That’s just how Dina always sleeps.
Personally I just thought the brain pulse or whatever shook her causing her to fall out of bed.
She was having a really intense dream about dinosaurs.
I’ve always loved how the Head Alien is drawn in that bottom panel. He’s got a pretty awesome looming going on for being so short. Nice and menacing.
Just sayin’
OOOOH so THAT is year 0. Yikes!

You mean you could have done that at any time?
Not at any time; only when it was dramatic.
