Low #9

A bloodied warrior woman stands resolute at the center of this striking cover, clutching a large rifle and wearing fur-trimmed armor as armored soldiers fan out behind her — all of them poised atop a heap of fallen bodies. Looming above the chaos, a massive pale bear-like creature adds an unsettling mythic weight to what already feels like a hard-won and costly battle. Greg Tocchini's fluid, painterly linework and Dave McCaig's cool aquatic palette make Low #9 one of the most visually distinctive science-fiction comics Image had to offer in 2015.
