Incredible Hulk #12

This double-sized anniversary issue of The Incredible Hulk arrives in 2000 with a cover by Ron Garney (pencils) and Sal Buscema (inks) that packs in a lot — a roaring, leaping Hulk dominates the image while a second, more reserved green figure looms in the lower left, and a heavyset man in a fedora and blue coat squares off against a frightened civilian in glasses caught in the middle. The contrast between the Hulk's raw fury and that quietly menacing gray-suited figure gives the scene a genuinely layered, tense energy. Kicking off "Snake Eyes, Part 1," this milestone issue promises the kind of ambitious, extended storytelling that anniversary editions are built for.
