Hulk #18

A figure with long green hair stands triumphant, fists clenched and head thrown back in a roar, planted atop the sprawling forms of both a green Hulk and a red Hulk — a striking image of dominance that makes the story title "Delilah" feel immediately loaded with meaning. Jeph Loeb and Whilce Portacio's 2010 collaboration delivers a cover — inked by Danny Miki — that radiates raw power and just enough mystery to pull you straight inside. If you've been following the green-versus-red tension running through this series, issue #18 looks like a genuine turning point.
