Because whoever can make the Thing fall apart first is looking at a fat payday. How fat? How about ten million? My goodness, someone wants this guy bad! So, who's it gonna be, tough guys? Which one of you is strong enough to stop a quarter ton of rampaging rock?

Solicit Synopsis
THE THING CLOBBERS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE!
Ben Grimm may be the strongest member of the Fantastic Four, but once upon a time, he was just a scrawny kid from Yancy Street. When an unexpected visitor from his past sends him on a search for a missing child, the Thing must unravel the mystery, even if that means becoming a wanted man! Get ready to see the Ever-Lovin’ Blue-Eyed Thing versus every super-powered criminal and bounty hunter in New York City! Writer Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs) and artist Justin Mason (SPIDER-PUNK) give a glimpse into the history of the Thing that reminds you why Ben Grimm is the heart of the Marvel Universe…and why you don’t want to let him hear you say that!
