Friday Night Fights! G-7! Bang-A-Boomerang!!!

Yeeaahhh-hh-hhhh! In INCREDIBLE HULK 295 by Bill Mantlo and the great Sal Buscema, there's absolutely no doubt:

"Like a bang, a boom-a-boomerang

Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum

Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang

Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum

So give it away, I think you'll learn

You'll get love in return

So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love

A boom-a-boomerang is love" -ABBA

Friday Night Fights! O.P.P.! You're Standin' Where I'm Walkin'!

"Ronnie" was the Muscle of the Beach. As awesomely relayed by Sal Buscema and Gerry Talaoc, in INCREDIBLE HULK 298 back in the 1980s, "Ronnie" gets the pain of the day.

Friday Night Fights! Superman's Boom! Boom! Boom!

Roger Stern and Steve Rude produced one of the most enjoyable, fun, and amazing comics I've ever read, via THE INCREDIBLE HULK VS SUPERMAN. Not only that, it's poignant and even chokes you up by the end. And all due to Stern's ability to illicit just what you need to pay off the end of the one-shot one-and-done single issue of a meeting between the world's mightiest mortal and the world's most tragic.

Friday Night Fights: It's Machine Man's Kang Thang

Aaron Stack received a royal all-over Hulk Smash! in INCREDIBLE HULK 235, getting hit so hard his robot body flew into pieces.

Well, by ish 236, Machine Man has put himself back together in order to save his friend/psychologist from a very angry Hulk, but he's in too big of a hurry to repair himself altogether. Thus, he's carrying one of his arms while he runs to intercept the Hulk. Courtesy of Sal "Brings It" Buscema, scripted by Roger Stern, providing the first truly "badass" moment of Aaron Stack's career where he actually defeats the Hulk. By himself. A robot.

Stack reminds the Hulk that the ugly part of the bruise is purple.

http://www.spacebooger.com/ reminds you that whatever you call it, whether a severed arm or a "figment of your imagination," it still hurts.

Friday Night Fights: Don't Bring a Hammer to a Hulk Fight!

It won't end well: Courtesy of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee from the Hulk's aborted first series (six issues)...the best part of this is the hammer flying off to the left of the redirected cannonball guy. I keep wondering where this guy ended up, and how many bones were broken before and after he lands. And god help anyone hit by that flying hammer.
