機動戦士ガンダム THE ORIGIN [Kidō Senshi Gundam the Origin] #3

This third volume of Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN puts a weathered, determined man front and center alongside a looming dark mobile suit — likely a Zaku — rendered in striking blue-gray tones that give the cover a moody, military atmosphere. The bold title treatment and "ルバ・ラル編" (Ramba Ral arc) subtitle make clear this chapter of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's celebrated manga adaptation has its own distinct focus and weight. Published by Kadokawa and tied to a 2016 theatrical event screening across 15 venues nationwide, it's a great entry point into the retelling that inspired a generation of Gundam fans.
