Immortal Hulk #24

Alex Ross's painted cover for Immortal Hulk #24 delivers a genuinely unsettling image: the Hulk, rendered in deep greens against an oppressive black void, cradles a cracking, fire-laced Earth in his massive hands as if the planet itself is barely surviving his grip. The fiery fractures spiderwebbing across the globe give the whole image a sense of barely-contained catastrophe on a cosmic scale. With a story titled "The Steel Throne," this 2019 entry in the series makes a bold visual case that the Immortal Hulk's stakes have grown far beyond anything merely human.
