Incredible Hulk #83

Part of Marvel's 2005 "House of M" crossover event, this issue launches the "Terra Incognita" story arc with a cover by Andy Brase that crackles with raw intensity. A roaring, battle-ready Hulk dominates the foreground, gripping a spear while a group of armored and exotic-looking figures stand assembled behind him — all set against a looming, monstrous red face that fills the background with menace. Peter David returns to the character he knows so well, with art by Jorge Lucas, making this a compelling starting point for whatever strange new world the Hulk finds himself standing in.
