Man-Thing #1

Marvel's beloved swamp creature gets a fresh start in 2017, with horror maestro R. L. Stine bringing his distinctly unsettling sensibility to the muck and mystery of Man-Thing. Tyler Crook's cover painting is genuinely haunting — the creature's massive, textured green form looms in the foreground, glowing red eyes peering through grasping tendrils, while a city consumed by roaring flames blazes dramatically in the background beneath the tagline "Those Who Know Fear." It's a mood-drenched opener that promises something creepy and atmospheric, with German Peralta and colorist Rachelle Rosenberg handling the interior art.
