怪獣8号 [Kaijū 8-gō / Kaiju No. 8] #3

Against a striking neon-yellow background, a sharp-eyed young woman in a grey military uniform stands her ground, her coat spattered with blood and a massive dark kaiju weapon or appendage looming beside her — the image radiates hard-won tension. This is volume 3 of Naoya Matsumoto's Kaiju No. 8, published by Shueisha under the Jump Comics+ imprint, continuing the series' blend of monster-fighting action and human drama. If this cover's battle-worn soldier is any indication, the stakes only keep climbing.
