Ninja Boy #2

The cover of Ninja Boy #2 says everything you need to know about the story inside — titled "Blood," it delivers on that promise immediately. Alé Garza and Dan Norton's cover depicts the young protagonist battered and hunched, his torso wrapped in bloodied bandages, tattered cape billowing behind him as he stands amid a grim, chain-draped purple backdrop scattered with red. It's a striking, moody image from this 2001 WildStorm series, with Allen Warner's script promising the kind of gritty, high-stakes action that this cover so vividly sets up.
