Adventures of the Thing #3 (of 4)


Adventures of the Thing (1992) #3

The Marvel Two-In-One reprint for this story involves a team-up between The Thing and several of his poker buddies. Nick Fury, Jarvis, Wonder Man, Carol Danvers, and the Beast all guest star in this comic. That’s an impressive line-up.

I’ve read this one before and yes, I was miffed that this series is nothing more than 4 reprints of the Thing’s team-up comic in the 80s. But, I love this story. It’s zany and extremely funny.

However, what could’ve sent this issue over the top was along with reprinting this classic issue, maybe Marvel could’ve included an all-new story involving another one of the Thing’s poker nights going horribly wrong. Thankfully, in the recent years, Marvel has learned to do this tactic instead of pulling a stunt that dupes loyal fans into buying a bunch of reissues starring the ever lovin’ blue eyed Thing under the guise of a new series.

Worth Consuming, but only because the story reprinted is a classic!

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars
Issue reprinted: Marvel Two-In-One #51.
