Destro #1

Destro takes center stage in this 2024 Image Comics series, with the chrome-skulled arms dealer seated imperiously on a wooden throne, gold-plated rifle in hand, atop a heap of wrecked military hardware and scattered weapons — every inch the sovereign of conflict he believes himself to be. Writer Dan Watters and artist Andrei Bressan bring a brooding, cinematic weight to the cover, framed against a smoldering, ember-lit sky that feels appropriately apocalyptic. If you've ever wanted a serious, character-driven spotlight on one of comics' most cold-blooded magnates of war, this opening issue announces itself with real authority.
