Mars Attacks: First Born #1

Sam Kieth's cover sets an unsettling yet oddly charming tone: three children and a small yellow cat stumble upon a bulbous-headed Martian crouching among the rocks, while a gleaming flying saucer hovers ominously beneath a moonlit sky behind them. The inscription "Kieth after Woody" hints at a playful artistic homage woven into this collaboration between Kieth and writer Chris Ryall. If you've ever wondered what a kids-meet-alien-invaders story looks like with genuine heart and a touch of the eerie, this 2014 IDW series opener looks like a very promising place to find out.
