Mech Destroyer #1

A young woman in an orange jumpsuit stands her ground atop crumbling urban ruins, dwarfed by a massive armored mech looming directly behind her — the sheer scale of that brooding machine against a smoke-filled cityscape sets a gripping tone from the very first issue. Jae Kim's cover pencils and inks deliver a striking contrast between the determined human figure and the overwhelming mechanical force at her back, with additional aerial combatants visible in the chaotic background. Writers Robert Chong and Joey Kim launch this Image series in 2001 with a premise that clearly puts humanity front and center in a world of colossal mechanical destruction.
