There are few individual panels in the history of comics that are as genuinely shocking as seeing the Hulk cut into pieces and placed in jars, still clearly breathing and alive.

With the Hulk having been made officially immortal a mere seven issues prior, it's easy to forget all the potential changes this could entail - namely, that the green giant could be separated from his extremities while still remaining alive. It's terrifying, sure, but it's also a smart way to establish that, despite being impossible to kill, this doesn't mean that the Hulk is impossible to stop (for a while, anyway).

Although it's something that seems more suited to a straight-up horror film than a comic about a green giant, it's undeniable that seeing a major Marvel hero split apart like a make-your-own-Hulk kit is a pretty unique moment, all in all.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
