Highlander: Way of the Sword #1

Dynamite Entertainment kicks off this 2007 miniseries with a striking first issue of Highlander: Way of the Sword, and the cover sets a fittingly dark tone — a battle-hardened warrior peers from beneath a grotesque skull-and-bone helmet, crossed swords framing his face while a human skull rests at his side and a stormy, lightning-split sky looms over an ancient settlement in the background. The Japanese kanji alongside the title hint at an Eastern influence woven into this Immortal's story, promising a saga that spans cultures as well as centuries. Fans of the franchise will find this opener hard to put down.
