I Kill Giants #1

From Image Comics in 2008, this opening chapter of Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura's seven-issue series introduces us to a young girl rendered in striking two-tone blue against a bold red background — clutching a small bag and wearing oversized glasses, her expression radiating a fierce, quiet determination. Niimura's cover art is immediately arresting in its minimalism, letting that single close-up face tell you everything you need to know about a kid who clearly isn't afraid of anything. "Chapter 1: The Hammer" promises a story with real personality right from the first glance.
