Immortal Hulk #39

Alex Ross's painted cover for issue #39 pulls together a striking vision of the Hulk's fractured identity — multiple green faces and forms swirl through a luminous background while a armored, red-mohawked Hulk grapples with a smaller figure at the center, and a spear-wielding warrior accompanied by a serpentine creature looms above. Faces of Bruce Banner and several Hulk incarnations ripple across the composition like echoes of a single tormented soul. Al Ewing and Joe Bennett's "The Stars Move Still" promises the kind of layered, unsettling storytelling this series does so well.
