Monkey Meat #1

Juni Ba's Monkey Meat #1 arrives from Image Comics as a self-described "thrilling anthology," and the cover makes a vivid case for that promise — a blood-splattered pile of oversized tin cans with grimacing faces dominates the foreground, while a dark-clad figure with a glowing mask stands to the left and a flame-headed robot looms in the background above a crowded cityscape of towers, rocky formations, and scattered debris. The warm golden-yellow field and Juni Ba's loose, confident linework give everything a kinetic, hand-crafted energy that feels distinctly its own. At just $3.99 in 2022, this opening issue is a wild-looking invitation into a world that clearly plays by its own strange rules.
