Hulk #14

In "Code Red Chapter One: Eyewitness," the Red Hulk’s secret transformation is exposed when Domino witnesses it—prompting Samson and Thunderbolt Ross to order a strike team to eliminate her before the truth spreads. Hulk assembles an unlikely alliance of Deadpool, Punisher, Crimson Dynamo, Thundra, and Elektra to track her down, but Domino isn’t alone—she’s already called in X-Force for backup. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by Ian Churchill, with inks by Mark Farmer, colors by Peter Steigerwald and Aspen, and letters by Richard Starkings, this 2009 issue delivers high-stakes tension and a roster of powerhouse characters in a story that hinges on secrecy, loyalty, and the cost of knowing too much. The cover by Ian Churchill captures the intensity of the moment.
