Incredible Hulk #48

The Hulk dominates this cover in raw, visceral close-up — massive green fists shattering through what appears to be heavy military or robotic armor, debris flying in every direction. Kaare Andrews renders the confrontation with a painterly, moody atmosphere that makes the green of the Hulk pop dramatically against the dark, muted tones of his armored opponent. With Bruce Jones, Stuart Immonen, and Scott Koblish bringing "From Here to Infinity" to life inside, issue #48 looks like a thoroughly satisfying chapter in one of the Hulk's more grounded and suspenseful eras.
