Abominations #1

Spinning out of the pages of Hulk, this 1996 Marvel series launches with a cover by Angel Medina and Brad Vancata that throws a massive, roaring creature front and center — all gnashing teeth and dripping menace — while a large ensemble of heroes and villains crowds the surrounding space, hinting at a world teeming with gamma-fueled conflict. The tagline "Back to the Future… Imperfect!" sets a deliberately dystopian tone, and the sheer variety of characters on display — from a pink-clad woman in a domino mask to a heavily armored figure and a bald gunslinger with yellow shades — promises a cast with real range. With Ivan Velez Jr. writing and Angel Medina on interior art, Abominations #1 feels like a genuinely ambitious attempt to carve out its own corner of the Marvel Universe.
