The Thing: The Next Big Thing #1

Renowned storyteller Walter Mosley brings his signature style to Yancy Street's favorite son! This sweeping saga of the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing will range from the urban sprawl of Manhattan's back alleys to the farthest reaches of the cosmos! A lonely evening and a chance encounter (or is it?) send Ben Grimm embarking on an unexpected sojourn — where he must battle foes both old and new! But as the Thing fights and fights to rescue his newfound love, Amaryllis, from the seemingly unstoppable Brusque, there's more going on than meets the eye! Featuring characters drawn from all throughout the Marvel Universe, "The Next Big Thing" is here to remind audiences why the Thing is one of the most popular and beloved characters in the history of comics!
