The Foot Soldiers #1

From Image Comics in 1997, The Foot Soldiers #1 arrives with a moody, street-level intensity — the cover depicts armored, weapon-carrying figures amid crumbling brick walls and graffiti-tagged urban ruins under a deep blue, ominous sky, with glowing orange lights cutting through the darkness. The gritty, shadowy composition sets up a world where ordinary people seem to have taken up extraordinary, dangerous roles. Written by Jim Krueger with art by Steve Yeowell, this opening chapter — "Walls" — promises a grounded superhero story with real urban grit at its core.
