Hulk & Thing: Hard Knocks #2

The second chapter of Hard Knocks arrives with a cover that says everything about this rivalry — the Thing's rocky orange fists clench around the Hulk's green face in an up-close, almost suffocating composition that makes the raw physicality of this clash feel genuinely visceral. Jae Lee's cover work renders both titans with extraordinary texture and detail, from the cracked stone of Ben Grimm's hide to the strained fury in the Hulk's half-lidded eyes. With Bruce Jones writing and Jae Lee handling both pencils and inks inside, this Marvel Knights series continues to treat these two bruisers with the weight and complexity they deserve.
