Gigantic #1

Dark Horse launches Rick Remender's ambitious sci-fi series with a cover that immediately establishes the scale of things to come — a massive armored figure in orange and grey looms over a crumbling city street, explosions and debris filling the frame as a lone human figure looks on from the lower left. Eric Nguyen's painted cover work is genuinely striking, capturing both the chaos of urban destruction and the sheer overwhelming presence of the titanic suited being dominating the skyline. With Remender writing and Nguyen and Matthew Wilson bringing the visuals to life, Gigantic #1 arrives in 2008 as a confident, visually charged opening to what promises to be a big-scale story.
