Deadpool #38

The cover of Deadpool #38 says it all in giant, smash-worthy lettering — "HULK SMASH" — with the Green Goliath's snarling face and Deadpool's masked, thumbs-up form woven right into the typography, promising a collision of Marvel's most unpredictable personalities. A small side panel even shows a grinning Hulk with a casual "Problem?" speech bubble, which perfectly captures the gleeful chaos Daniel Way is cooking up in "Operation: Annihilation Part Two: Clear and Present Anger." Dave Johnson's cover design is clever and kinetic, using the bold type itself as the battlefield and making this issue hard to miss on any 2011 shelf.
