Hadrian's Wall #1

The cracked visor of a space helmet dominates this striking opener from Image, its shattered faceplate reflecting the hull of a spacecraft emblazoned with the name "Hadrian's Wall" — an immediate promise of mystery and danger somewhere in deep space. Writers Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel set the tone right from the cover, and Rod Reis's moody, atmospheric artwork gives the whole image a cold, unsettling beauty that feels perfectly suited to a sci-fi thriller. If this first issue's cover is any indication, Hadrian's Wall is shaping up to be one of 2016's most visually arresting new series.
