Immortal Hulk #20

This Eisner-nominated series continues to push the Hulk into genuinely unsettling territory, and issue #20's Alex Ross cover makes that unmistakably clear — a red-skinned, winged demon with taloned feet pins the green Hulk to rubble beneath a stormy sky, while a lone bystander watches in horror from the background. The collision of Ross's painterly craft with such a viscerally monstrous image is a striking combination. With Al Ewing writing and Joe Bennett on interior art, "Metatron" arrives with the creative weight to match its haunting promise.
