Speaking of which, here's that moment big green and a freshly trimmed God of Thunder eventually rekindled their bumpy friendship under the bright lights of The Grandmaster's fighting pit. However, this now-legendary collision between the two "friends from work" appeared to go through a few changes in the time between its conception and eventual execution.

First of all, in the art once again crafted by Ryan Meinerding, it's clear the early idea was to have this skirmish take place in the day instead of night. Both Thor and Hulk's attires are significantly different too, with Thor possessing a look that would make Maximus Decimus Meridius proud and both Avengers rocking notably different hairstyles.

On top of this, the sight of a dead alien in the background suggests the two could've likely teamed up to take down some other foes in the hilarious exchange before Thor attempted to get his old pal onside with "The Sun's getting real low" schtick.
