The same schmuck who made Ben Grimm's childhood miserable has dragged him into a sprawling conspiracy! But who's been abducting kids from the Thing's turf? And how will Ben rescue the kids when New York's strongest criminals are competing to turn him into rubble?!
The Thing #3 has something for everyone. You have intense action with characters you wouldn't expect, culminating in a shocking surprise appearance setting up the next issue, and you have dialogue that brings life and authenticity to the characters at hand. Each issue makes me fall more in love with this run and moves it to the top of my reading list monthly! Read Full Review
Mason crafts some great art throughout the issue. The visuals have the same fun, but intense vibe as the story and I love the visual thrills of the action. Read Full Review
This issue (as well as the previous two issues) has a great mix of two-fisted action and comedy, and the mystery of Ben's old friend's link to Kingpin deepens. Read Full Review
The Thing #3 barrels forward with a chaotic rescue mission that keeps Ben Grimm on his toes, proving that even a rock monster has a soft spot for kids in danger. The art is solid, delivering the expected "clobberin' time visuals with a good dose of emotional punch. Read Full Review
As with the first two issues - issue three did NOT disappoint. It’s not some BIG cosmic story - it’s a straight forward street level action adventure with real heart. This is easily the best version of the Thing I have read in a while. Tony Fleecs gets right to the core of what makes Ben Grimm work (he’s doing a much better job than the film did). Justin Mason’s art evokes the classic FF stories that were fun and exciting. Marvel needs to bring back Two-In-One with these guys on it. I highly recommend The Thing!
Plot
The explosion destroyed part of the pier. Thing doesn't know where Marty Flynn is, but he manages to see his niece Sara and stops Hammerhead and Bullseye.
Ben escapes with Sara to the city and stops to rest, because this whole situation has been intense.
Kingpin is disappointed with Bullseye, and Hammerhead sends the Wrecking Crew, who also have super strength; something or someone is enhancing them. The fight between this team and Ben is exciting, with lots of blows, but Ben wins...at times, until JUGGERNAUT arrives.
The suspense continues to increase as Sara is chased by all the city's villains.
Art
It's detailed, handling shadows in a way that highlights all those facial expressi more
