The Thing #25

Issue #25 of Marvel's solo Thing series arrives with a genuinely unsettling cover by Ron Wilson and Brett Breeding: Ben Grimm's rocky orange form appears multiplied across the image, reflected or fragmented through what look like dripping, melting vertical shards — all set against a backdrop of roaring flames. The distorted, mirror-like repetition of the Thing's grimacing face gives the whole composition a disorienting, almost nightmarish quality that makes "Legends" sound like it earns its title. If you've followed Ben Grimm's solo adventures, this 1985 milestone feels like a chapter that's thinking bigger than a standard slugfest.
