The Thing takes center stage on this 2008 installment of Ultimate Fantastic Four, locked in a brutal clash with a snarling, electricity-crackling villain whose rocky grip threatens to overwhelm even Ben Grimm's famous durability. Gabriele Dell'Otto's painted cover work gives the confrontation a cinematic intensity, with debris flying and golden energy crackling between the two combatants. With Mike Carey writing and Tyler Kirkham on interior art, this issue looks like a gripping entry in Marvel's reimagined take on its First Family.
