Ultimate Fantastic Four #57

The Thing dominates this 2008 Marvel cover in full force — fists raised, rocky hide cracking with raw power, and his blue Fantastic Four uniform stretched to its limits as he charges forward with unmistakable intensity. Coiling around him are sleek metallic tendrils that hint at a formidable threat just out of frame, framed against a warm, glowing sky by cover artist Billy Tan. With Mike Carey writing and Tyler Kirkham on interior art, this late-run Ultimate Fantastic Four issue looks like a genuinely satisfying showcase for Marvel's ever-lovable blue-eyed idol of millions.
