“Devil Dinosaur: The Movie!”

In "Devil Dinosaur: The Movie!", The Thing pays a visit to his girlfriend Sharon Ventura, a stunt performer filming a movie about a giant dinosaur on a remote island. When he mistakes the robot prop for the real creature, he causes chaos on set—only to retreat to his trailer, vowing to stay out of the madness. But when a massive, real dinosaur emerges from the ocean to terrorize the crew, the film’s special effects team tries to fight back with their props, only to be overwhelmed. The issue’s blend of humor, action, and classic Marvel charm is brought to life by Mike Carlin’s script and Ron Wilson’s expressive art, with Sam de la Rosa’s cover capturing the chaos in bold, dynamic detail.
