Episode 204 – Hulk vs. Thing: The Last Round?

Our two-part look at Hulk/Thing fights wraps up with a look at one of the twosome's more recent titanic tussles in Fantastic Four Vol. 6, issues 12 and 13, by Dan Slott and Sean Izaakse, published by Marvel Comics! But first, because this episode drops on Valentine's Day, we discuss the wedding of Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters in Fantastic Four Vol. 6 issue 5, most notably the story "4-Minute Warning" by Dan Slott and Aaron Kuder! Then it's time for the main event, as the Immortal Hulk interrupts Ben and Alicia's honeymoon, with a little help from Alicia's father, the pernicious Puppet Master! Is this really our last episode discussing these Marvelous melees? (Who knows?) Can the Thing keep the Immortal Hulk from endangering an entire seaside resort before he reverts back to all-too-human Ben Grimm? And can either of them prevail against that titanic tag team known as ... The Comics Canon?
