I Hate Fairyland #1

Skottie Young and Jean-François Beaulieu launch this new arc of I Hate Fairyland with a cover that perfectly captures the series' delightful contradiction — a pigtailed girl in a tattered dress stands triumphantly atop a giant bloody mushroom, brandishing a gore-soaked axe while surrounded by a crowd of bewildered, battered fantasy creatures. The candy-colored pastels of Fairyland clash wonderfully with the very un-childlike carnage on display, and a tiny winged companion hovers nearby as if reconsidering its life choices. If you've been waiting for an entry point into one of Image Comics' most gleefully irreverent series, this 2025 Skinless Crow edition makes a very persuasive case.
