Book of Death #1

A towering, skull-faced figure in a dark hood looms over the entire Valiant universe on Robert Gill's striking cover, while a sprawling cast of heroes — among them a blue-armored warrior, a figure in white with a red circle, and characters with pink and teal hair — struggle and clash in fiery chaos below. Writer Robert Venditti and artists Robert Gill and Doug Braithwaite bring together what Vox called one of the best comics of 2015, and that cover alone makes a compelling case. If you've been curious about Valiant's interconnected universe at high stakes, this is a great place to feel the weight of it.
