Fantastic Four #57 (486)

In "The Ever-Lovin', Blue-Eyed End of the World Part 1 of 3," The Thing finds himself overwhelmed when he begins spawning countless duplicates of himself, each with their own quirks and personalities. With time running short, Reed Richards sends him into a pocket universe for eight hours to confront the chaos before it spirals out of control. Written by Adam Warren and illustrated by Keron Grant, with cover art by Adam Warren, this 2002 issue blends surreal humor with the team's signature sci-fi edge in a story that pushes the limits of identity and self.
