Ojo, written/illustrated by Sam Kieth, with help from Alex Pardee and Chris Wisnia. A little girl who’s lost every pet she’s ever had finds something lurking in a storm drain and decides to care for it. This one has a lot of heart.

Aliens Salvation by Dave Gibbons, Mike Mignola, and Kevin Nowlan. Mignola does what he does best here: broodingly quiet moments punctuated by violence. Explores how religion bumps up against a world where brutally efficient killing machines lurk in the corners of space.
