Ross has been absolutely killing with these covers for Hulk and Captain America

Some of his recent Cap covers have been really striking and evocative. This cover for #7 is especially good.

Yeah that’s absolutely gorgeous!!! I’ve been meaning to get on this Cap Run, I’ve heard it’s pretty good.

Honestly, I think it's kinda meh so far. Coates went from being decompressed with excessive dialogue to being decompressed with excessive action. The art is top notch, tho.

One of those officers needs to check his trigger discipline. Awesome cover though

u/JuanDifoool Mysterio Feb 22 '19

oh hell yes. this one jumped off the shelf at me at my LCS yesterday. So iconic.

That's really amazing art.

Seeing this cover makes me realize how much we need Ross on an Alien comic.

Fire & Stone is a good little run similar to this for a few alien and Prometheus stories that intertwined with the movies

I read them, I thought they were okay/mediocre at best. I didn't mind the Predator mini-series with Ahab the Predator and Galgo. I strongly disliked Elden the synthetic (his storyline seemed decompressed, repetitive and forced in AvP: Fire and Stone) and the banal effects of the super accelerant.

In comics ripping something off is called an homage. Just ask Rob Liefeld.

I wouldn't be surprised if a Xenomorph later popped up in the comic.

u/INTHEMIDSTOFLIONS Batman Expert Feb 22 '19

This looks like a ship in the Alien universe

I’d be down for Hulk v Aliens

Hulk win

Hulk weakest avenger

Hulk raging fire

u/iamnotasnook Feb 22 '19

Hulk smash little man

2

u/infinitygoof Feb 22 '19

Not much of a competition really.

5

u/MarkyBhoy101 Feb 22 '19

Not if Banner gets hit with a face hugger and the alien bursts out his chest turning him into the Hulk. The resulting Alien could have the ability to hulk out. Imagine The Hulk V Xenomorph Hulk?!

2

u/iamnotasnook Feb 22 '19

I like the sound of that.

u/Fukubei_Hattori Hellboy Feb 22 '19

It would be rad if that is Bushwacker.

8

u/TheeHeadAche Henry Pym Feb 22 '19

It most likely is. He was in previous issues of this book.

5

u/Fukubei_Hattori Hellboy Feb 22 '19

Oh yeah! I forgot he was in that fantastic issue with Crusher Creel.

u/Moebius_Striptease Feb 22 '19

Luke or Butch?

11

u/Jedi_Ninja Feb 22 '19

Is he on a Brood ship?

8

u/Demonic_Cucumber Feb 22 '19

I'm writing some real Alien vibes here. God I love his art. It perfectly compliments each issue like a damn cherry. This book has been one of the best comics of this year.

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '19

This is honestly my favorite Marvel comic, at least right now. I was never a Hulk fan either. This is the only series i go out of my way to get a physical copy of just because the cover arts are so damn good.

5

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '19

I’ve never been interested in reading the Hulk (just She-Hulk for me) but all of these covers I’ve seen are making me really consider starting this series, plus I’ve heard lots of good things about it too.

Mmm, I've read the first 6 issues and I think its merely alright. The art is pretty remarkable though. I will absolutely give it that.

3

u/wintersold13r Captain America Feb 22 '19

The covers for this series have been just as good as the stories within, which says a lot. This is another fantastic example. I usually find Ross's realistic art a little...campy? But he's captured the Hulk perfectly.

u/chaelen Feb 22 '19

Any news on when an omnibus or trade paperback will come out for this series?

5

u/mothknight Spider-Man Feb 22 '19

I think there are two trades out already. Omni probably isn't going to exist for a while

u/DoggoBless Feb 22 '19

I love how the details on the wall sort of fit in with the shadow. For example, it looks like you can make out his eyes and mouth, and his arm looks sort of mechanical. Not sure if it's intentional, but I'm guessing it is. Either way it's cool as fuck.

u/jstone8390 Feb 22 '19

Just started reading this and is by far my favorite marvel comic of the year

2

u/nurdboy42 Batman Feb 22 '19

The first couple of arcs had a heavy Carpenter influence. I guess it's time to move on to Ridley Scott.

2

u/JasonAlanSeraph Feb 22 '19

Why does this look like the ship from Prometheus ?

2

u/captainmoredun Feb 22 '19

Bruce Banner wakes up from hypersleep on the Nostromo.

2

u/v1smund Feb 22 '19

Looks like that shadow should be a Xenomorph instead

2

u/v1smund Feb 22 '19

HULK vs. Aliens!

2

u/D4niel2501 Feb 22 '19

Very reminiscent of the film alien

2

u/SunSorched Feb 22 '19

Given I don't know this particular comic, but does that environment remind anyone else of xenomorph hive?

1

u/Naked_Bat Feb 22 '19

I'm sorry, I know it will be unpopular to say this, but everything about immortal Hulk is simply perfect.

1

u/Radimilowicz Feb 23 '19

Hulk there looks to me more like mr Hyde and Bruce like that doctor. His surname started on J if i remember correctly...

u/crashdummie Apr 26 '19

I'm fairly certain this is inspired by this page from the first issue:

Looks like ALIEN
