Immortal Hulk #17

Al Ewing's Immortal Hulk continues to push the boundaries of superhero horror with issue #17, and Alex Ross's painted cover sets the tone perfectly. A battered, blood-stained Bruce Banner wades through flooded, alien-organic tunnels — the walls ribbed and grotesque around him — while the massive green form of the Hulk lies submerged beneath the water at his feet. It's a quietly devastating image: the man and the monster occupying the same impossible space, framed by something that feels far older and stranger than either of them.
