Skaar: Son of Hulk #3

Issue three of Skaar: Son of Hulk delivers a cover that announces Skaar's raw, dangerous presence with real conviction — the massive green-skinned warrior strides forward through a devastated, skull-littered wasteland, long hair whipping behind him as he grips a blade, glowing eyes fixed ahead with unmistakable menace. Ron Garney's cover art captures the brutal atmosphere of Sakaar's ravaged landscape brilliantly, with smoldering debris and shattered ruins framing Skaar as a force of nature unto himself. With Greg Pak scripting "The Princess and the Beast" and Paul Mounts's colors lending the scene its fiery, ominous atmosphere, this 2008 series is shaping up as one of Marvel's more compelling explorations of what it means to carry the Hulk's blood.
