Doomsday.1 #1

This opening issue of John Byrne's post-apocalyptic series from IDW sets an immediately arresting tone, with the cover depicting scattered groups of survivors picking through the rubble of a devastated, burning cityscape rendered in smoldering reds and acid greens. Byrne's raw, expressionistic linework gives the ruins a visceral energy, while Leonard O'Grady's striking color palette makes the sky feel both beautiful and terrifying. It's a compelling start to what promises to be a survival story with real scope and visual ambition.
