Superpatriot: War on Terror #1

Robert Kirkman brings his sharp superhero sensibility to this Image series, with a cover by Cory Walker that wastes no time setting the tone: the red-white-and-blue-helmeted Superpatriot stands dead center, mechanical arms blazing, as a swirling mob of heavily armed orange robot soldiers closes in from every angle. It's a striking visual statement — one hero, overwhelming odds, and the kind of kinetic composition that makes you want to crack it open immediately. E.J. Su handles the interior art, promising the same energetic action on display right from this first issue.
