Chainsaw Man #1

Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man Volume 1 arrives from Kazé Shônen Up! with a cover that wastes no time setting the tone: a bloodied young man with a roaring chainsaw for a head leaps downward, saw extended, while grotesque demon-like creatures claw at him from below against a vivid green and orange backdrop. It's a raw, kinetic image that captures the series' blend of scrappy desperation and outright mayhem in a single frame. If you're looking for something that swings hard and looks like nothing else on the shelf in 2020, this is a confident place to start.
