Hulk & Thing: Hard Knocks #3

The cover of this 2005 Marvel Knights miniseries says everything you need to know: the Hulk's massive green fist connects squarely with the Thing's rocky jaw, sending chunks of orange stone flying as Ben Grimm's face twists from the impact — it's an uncomfortably close-up study in pure, bruising force. Jae Lee's cover art renders both titans with remarkable textural detail, making the green-on-orange collision feel almost geological in scale. Bruce Jones and Jae Lee's "Hard Knocks" continues to pit two of Marvel's most durable powerhouses against each other in ways that feel genuinely weighty rather than just spectacular.
