怪獣8号 [Kaijū 8-gō / Kaiju No. 8] #4

Volume 4 of Naoya Matsumoto's Kaiju No. 8 puts its protagonist front and center — masked, armored, and leveling a heavy weapon with an intensity that practically leaps off the purple-drenched cover. The tension between human soldier and something far more monstrous is written all over this striking image, with that tactical gear and unsettling mask hinting at a world where the line between hunter and hunted is razor-thin. A great entry point into one of Jump Comics' most visually arresting series.
