アイアムアヒーロー [Ai Amu a Hīrō] #17

Two survivors stand back-to-back against a washed-out cityscape rendered in haunting monochrome detail — a young woman in a vivid pink jacket levels a shotgun with grim determination while a bespectacled man behind her takes aim with a rifle, their bright colors a sharp contrast to the grey, debris-strewn world around them. Kengo Hanazawa's post-apocalyptic manga continues to deliver that rare mix of quiet dread and raw human urgency that made I Am a Hero such a compelling series. Volume 17 looks to keep the tension wound tight as these two armed figures face whatever threat lurks just off the cover's edge.
