Rocket Girl, vol. 1
This graphic novel sports beautiful art -- fantastic layouts and wonderfully realistic human characters -- by Amy Reeder. Brandon Montclare's story is an action-filed back-and-forth between a relative present and alternate future, but the illustrations are reason enough to go for it. The guy at the local shop warned me that Reeder was taking a brief hiatus and is now being wooed by larger firms, but hopefully she stays with the characters whose look and attitudes she has done so well to define.
