Incredible Hulk #7.1

This 2012 Marvel issue titled "Alone" opens with a striking cover by Michael Komarck that captures the fractured duality at the heart of the series — the Hulk looms massive and green-skinned in a powerful, roaring pose while a smaller human figure, dressed in a lab coat, recoils beside him, their uneasy proximity suggesting tension rather than partnership. The painterly composition bathes both figures in eerie green light, making the contrast between the hulking behemoth and the vulnerable man feel genuinely unsettling. With Jason Aaron writing and Jefte Palo on interior art, this .1 entry point offers a compelling place to explore what it means when the monster and the man can no longer coexist.
