Hulk & Thing: Hard Knocks #4

The concluding chapter of Hard Knocks arrives with a cover that pulls no punches — Jae Lee fills the entire image with the battered, grimacing face of the Hulk pressed close against the Thing's rocky orange hide, both titans looking utterly spent. Lee's extreme close-up composition is quietly unsettling, stripping away any sense of triumph and leaving only the raw, weathered cost of their clash. Bruce Jones's "Upon Reflection" promises a fittingly introspective finish to one of Marvel Knights' more emotionally grounded team-up miniseries.
