Galactic #1

From Dark Horse's Rocket Comics imprint, Galactic #1 arrives in 2003 with a cover that immediately sets the stakes: a young kid in a red hoodie and backwards cap sprints in wide-eyed alarm across a rooftop, while a looming mass of dark, glowing-eyed figures — cloaked, armed, and deeply menacing — closes in from above. The contrast between that one determined kid and the shadowy horde pursuing her is striking and immediately compelling. With writing by Jim Krueger and art by Sanford Greene and Greg Adams inside, and a cover by Jason Pearson, this opener promises exactly the kind of scrappy, high-energy adventure the image delivers.
