Mudman #1

Paul Grist's distinctive linework immediately sets the tone for this Image series, with a masked young hero in a lightning-bolt costume crouching warily atop massive mud-formed letters that spell out the title — earth, grime, and uncertainty radiating from every angle. The muted earthen palette and loose, expressive style give the cover a refreshingly grounded feel that stands apart from the superhero crowd. If you're looking for something with genuine personality right from issue #1, this one earns a spot in your pull list.
