Maestro: World War M #1

Peter David returns to the Maestro — the green-skinned, white-bearded future Hulk — for this opening chapter of World War M, and the cover by Carlos Pacheco and Rafael Fonteriz makes an immediate impression. A furious Maestro charges forward fists clenched while a caped, armored figure looms behind him and a roaring mummified giant raises its arm amid a wall of fire and crumbling masonry. It's a vivid, kinetic image that sets the stage for the kind of brutal, larger-than-life conflict only this darkly fascinating corner of the Marvel Universe can deliver.
