Image Firsts: Wanted

Image’s Wanted gets a compact, accessible reprint in this 2010 one-shot, part of the publisher’s Image Firsts line designed to hook new readers on key series. Mark Millar and J. G. Jones team up for this single-issue sampler, offering the opening chapter of their brutal, inventive saga where a disaffected office worker discovers he’s the son of a super-assassin and heir to a secret society of costumed criminals. Though brief, this issue serves as a perfect gateway into one of the most celebrated creator-owned thrillers of the 2000s, showcasing Jones’s dynamic art and Millar’s signature blend of dark humor and ultraviolent action. It’s a lean, potent taste of a story that redefined the supervillain genre for a modern audience.
