''Joe Fixit'' is a 2023 comic book limited series from Creator/MarvelComics. It's written by Creator/PeterDavid.
The series, set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, is an {{Interquel}} set at a time when [[Characters/IncredibleHulkBruceBanner the Hulk]] (who's grey-skinned, not green, at this point), is widely believed dead - but is actually in Las Vegas under the alias 'Joe Fixit', working as a superhuman enforcer for shady casino-owner Michael Berengetti.
At the start of the story, Berengetti's business is getting unwelcome attention from New York crimelord the Kingpin, who has no idea that 'Mr. Fixit' is the Hulk. And the Kingpin's arrival in Las Vegas also means that Spider-Man, who was about to leave town after his own run-in with Fixit, is suddenly inclined to stay a little longer.
The first issue was released on January 4, 2023.
----
!!''Joe Fixit'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* BadBoss: After the Kingpin's initial CurbStompBattle with Fixit and Spider-Man, he and his men drive off. One of his goons comments that the Kingpin's still bleeding - and his boss's response is to deliver a sudden NeckSnap with his elbow.
* BullyingADragon: The Kingpin just doesn't know when to back down. After one his goons shoots Fixit, demonstrating that he's bulletproof, the Kingpin tries to punmel him hand-to-hand - which has [[NoSell absolutely no effect]] and is followed by a CurbStompBattle when Fixit loses patience. The Kingpin's ''next'' step after this encounter? To switch plans from targeting Berengetti's organisation to killing Fixit.
* GroundShatteringLanding: A variant, as it's the outcome of a CurbStompBattle. Fixit slams the Kingpin into the floor so hard that it breaks, embedding him in a Kingpin-shaped crater and surrounded by cracks.
* {{Interquel}}: The series is set in the past, at a point when the grey Hulk was believed dead and working in Las Vegas as "Mr. Fixit". Specifically, it's just after 1988's ‘’ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' #349, and Peter Parker is still in Las Vegas after the events of that story.
* CurbStompBattle: In other stories, the Kingpin's been able to hold his own against various superheroes, and he's not afraid to physically confront Fixit. But as Fixit is the Hulk, it’s a very one-sided battle - the Kingpin's blows have [[NoSell absolutely no effect]], and when they start to annoy him he slams the Kingpin to the floor.
* NeckSnap: One of the Kingpin's goons, sitting next to him in a limousine, annoys his boss with a tactless comment, so the Kingpin breaks the man's neck. It's a variant on the usual bare-handed neck snap, as he uses his elbow rather than a hand.
* NoSell: The Kingpin - nominally a normal human, although a [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower massively strong man]] - tries to physically overpower Mr. Fixit, not realising that he's attacking the Hulk. It has absolutely no effect, and is followed by a PunchCatch and then a CurbStompBattle when Fixit finally loses patience.
* PunchCatch: The Kingpin throws a punch at Mr. Fixit, not realising that he's facing the Hulk. Fixit catches it effortlessly, and the Kingpin's other attacks are [[NoSell equally ineffective]].
* VariantCover: The first issue has three variant covers as well as the standard version. One uses the same art without some of the logos, one is a headshot of Mr. Fixit and the third shows Fixit in a darkened room, looking out between the blinds.
