I Kill Giants #7

The finale of Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura's seven-issue series arrives with a cover that feels quietly monumental — two figures, rendered in Niimura's spare black-and-white linework against a deep crimson field, seem to float or fall together in a moment suspended between struggle and stillness. It's a striking, emotionally charged image that captures the series' blend of childhood vulnerability and something much larger looming just beyond reach. A perfect send-off for one of 2009's most heartfelt stories from Image Comics.
