Hulk: Return of the Monster #[nn]

A hulking silhouette dominates this brooding 2012 Marvel collection, its massive form backlit by a smoldering amber glow while targeting reticles and alien script encircle the figure against a devastated urban backdrop. Kaare Andrews — handling both pencils and inks on the cover — delivers something genuinely atmospheric here, trading muscle-and-mayhem bravado for something moodier and almost cinematic. If you want a Hulk book that feels as much like a thriller as a superhero story, this one announces its intentions right from the front.
