This month we start off with something easy- the Battle of the Hulks!
Both are copyrights of Marvel comics, and this double copyright led to some animosity between the
two. In fact, Marvel has received royalties for almost two decades, over
the use of the name "Hulk" Hogan. Early in his career, Hogan was even billed as "the Incredible
Hulk Hogan".
Only one way to settle this- Ultimate Grudge Match, brother!
