Hulk #16

Ian Churchill and Mark Farmer put a fierce red-skinned woman front and center on this 2009 cover — glowing yellow eyes, a mischievous grin, claws raised, and a smoking pistol in hand, all wrapped in a wild black costume as flames erupt behind her. "Code Red Chapter Three: She" promises that Jeph Loeb's run is leaning hard into its dangerous new players, and this cover radiates that energy with confidence. It's a striking piece of work from the Churchill/Farmer duo that makes it clear this chapter belongs entirely to her.
