Army of One #1

Five determined figures stand windswept against a moody twilight sky on Yishan Li's atmospheric cover — a central young woman in a jacket faces the viewer with quiet intensity, flanked by a woman in a flowing dress holding a smoking pistol, a small fierce child gripping a weapon, a younger kid with a sword, and another figure whose outstretched hands crackle with glowing energy. Looming faintly in the background is an imposing shadowed face, hinting at something much larger at stake. Tony Lee, Yishan Li, and Bryan Valenza have crafted a series that promises a diverse, scrappy ensemble facing impossible odds — and this first issue from Oni Press is a genuinely compelling place to start.
