DV8 #5

Warren Ellis, Humberto Ramos, and Sal Regla bring a sharp intensity to this 1997 Image series with a cover that puts a red-clad, sharp-nailed young woman front and center — crouched low, casting a hard shadow, and radiating coiled menace. Ramos's linework gives her an almost feral energy that fits the "Isolation" story title perfectly. If you've been following DV8, issue #5 is exactly the kind of cover that makes you want to know what's waiting inside.
