Hulk #30.1

Red Hulk charges straight at the reader with glowing orange eyes and fists clenched, a trail of overturned and smashed vehicles scattered across the chaotic urban street behind him — it's an immediate, visceral image that sets an urgent tone for "The Whale." This 2011 Marvel.1 entry is designed as an accessible jumping-on point, and the cover by Ron Garney delivers exactly the kind of raw, kinetic energy you'd want from a Red Hulk story. With Jeff Parker writing and the art team of Gabriel Hardman, Tom Palmer, and Jim Charalampidis bringing it to life inside, this is a compelling package for longtime fans and curious newcomers alike.
