Incredible Hulk #62

Part three of "Split Decisions" arrives with a cover by Mike Deodato Jr. that pulls no punches: a massive, snarling Hulk lunges forward from a circle of dim light, his green form dominating the darkness while two armed women — one dark-haired, one auburn — scramble beneath him, weapons raised, surrounded by a scattering of glowing red eyes in the black void. Writer Bruce Jones keeps the tension coiled tight across this five-part arc, and Deodato Jr.'s rendering of scale and shadow makes the Hulk feel genuinely overwhelming here. If you've been following "Split Decisions," this mid-arc entry looks like exactly the kind of issue where the stakes get uncomfortably real.
