Immortal Hulk #48

Alex Ross's painted cover for Immortal Hulk #48 carries a quietly haunting atmosphere — a brooding, contemplative Hulk crouches in the foreground while, in the distance, a small figure holding flowers stands beneath a menacing winged creature hovering against a dusky, smoldering sky. The contrast between that intimate, vulnerable moment and the looming supernatural threat overhead captures exactly the kind of dread and unexpected tenderness that has defined Al Ewing's run. With Bennett, José, Brabo, and Mounts handling the interior, "Hiding Places" promises another chapter that earns its unsettling title.
