The Thing #2

Part two of Walter Mosley's "The Next Big Thing" arrives with a cover that sets an irresistible urban tone — Ben Grimm's massive, rocky silhouette looms against a city nightscape atop a marquee blazing with the word "POW!!", while a masked, powerfully built fighter winds up to land a punch on the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing. Tom Reilly's art, colored beautifully by Jordie Bellaire, gives the rooftop confrontation a moody, cinematic warmth that feels right at home in a neon-soaked metropolis. If this cover is any indication, Ben Grimm's solo series is shaping up to be one of 2022's most visually confident Marvel books.
