Incredible Hulk #13

From writer Jason Aaron and artist Jefte Palo, this 2012 Marvel series reaches its thirteenth issue with a cover by Greg Land that puts the tension front and center — a furious, red-eyed Hulk roars at a cracked monitor screen displaying a stern, bespectacled figure staring back at him, mechanical components bristling around them both. The composition crackles with confrontation, two forces locked in a face-off across a pane of broken glass. "Hulk: United Part 1" promises a story with real stakes, and this cover makes a compelling case for what's inside.
