Future Imperfect #5

The concluding chapter of this 2015 Secret Wars tie-in announces itself with a cover that practically radiates menace: the Maestro — massive, green-skinned, and crowned in horned battle regalia — sits enthroned with chilling composure, cradling what appears to be a defeated enemy's armored skull in his enormous hands. Greg Land renders the tyrant with imposing detail, from his white beard and warrior's cape to the ancient, root-entwined throne looming behind him. Peter David, the writer who has long understood the Hulk's darkest potential, brings this Battleworld saga to a close with a villain who looks utterly, terrifyingly at ease with power.
