Made in Korea #1

From Image Comics, Made in Korea #1 launches Jeremy Holt and George Schall's thought-provoking 2021 series with a cover that immediately announces its ambitions. George Schall's striking image places a lone young girl — rendered in warm color and rendered with a distinctly human quality — at the center of a crowd of identical, expressionless grey figures, all with hands over their hearts before a stars-and-stripes backdrop. The contrast between her and the unsettling mass surrounding her sets a quietly powerful tone for a series that clearly has a lot on its mind about identity, belonging, and what it means to be American.
