Alex Ross, the artist responsible for some of the most memorable books, covers and images of the last 20 years has painted an original cover for the forthcoming “Planet Hulk” direct-to-DVD animated movie from Marvel and Lionsgate.

Ross’ cover depicts Hulk in his “Green Scar” incarnation. The “Planet Hulk” animated film is based on the comic storyline of the same name, which finds the Hulk exiled from Earth and forced to become a gladiator before leading a rebellion against the planet Sakaar’s tyrannical emperor.

While the voice cast has not yet been announced, the plot is expected to stay close to comic writer Greg Pak’s original “Planet Hulk” storyline.

“Planet Hulk” will hit stores in February 2010. Check out the trailer below.
