HUNDRED WORD HIT #191 - THE THING #1
The Thing #1 by Walter Mosley & Tom Reilly
The issue begins with a mysterious skeletal looking villain giving someone a phial of something ‘magical’ and he now calls himself Brusque.
The Thing returns from a fishing trip to find the FF are all away. He has an argument with Alicia because she’s hanging out with an art gallery director and ends up in a police holding cell with Hercules!
Back at the Baxter Building he has weird dreams, tries internet dating and then meets Brusque in a final page showdown
Tom Reilly’s art is great fitting perfectly with Mosley’s 80’s style story.
Plus the cover is fantastic!
Rating 8.5 out of 10
