From the Comics Division
Found a nice collection of "Page Ones" of comics. The first page is supposed to grab you by the eyeballs and shove you into the story. Tradition is to make them bold, splashy, and informative. They carry a lot of weight, and are probably the most important part of the comic...besides the cover.
Common tropes are:
The main character is very large in a cool pose
The title of the story is s a part of the environment, or taking up a prominent spot somewhere on the page
Characters are often caught in the middle of the action
There's a lot of exposition, either spoken or narrated
Credits for the creators are found somewhere on the page
Here's a nice twitter thread where I found this link. Lots of examples of compelling first pages posted here: LINK
