Incredible Hulk #602

Incredible Hulk #602 brings writer Fred Van Lente's story "Playdate" wrapped in a striking Ariel Olivetti cover that pits a blue-skinned, long-haired powerhouse against a heavily armored, bronze-clad brawler — both figures locked in brutal, close-quarters combat with a sword in play. The raw physicality Olivetti captures here, set against a pale moonlike backdrop, makes it immediately clear that this issue isn't short on muscle or menace.
