Big Man Plans #1

From Eric Powell and Tim Wiesch comes this gritty Image series opener — and Powell's cover art sets the tone immediately: a scarred, stocky little man in military fatigues grips a large blade and stares out with quiet, unsettling intensity. That weathered face and combat-worn gear suggest a story rooted in hard-living and harder intentions, the kind of character study that earns its darkness. Issue one of four, and the cover alone makes a compelling case for seeing this one through.
