Fantastic Four: Grimm Noir

In this 2020 Marvel one-shot, Gerry Duggan and Ron Garney peel back the layers of the ever-lovable Ben Grimm, casting the Thing into a shadowy, noir-inflected mystery that tests his heart and his fists. A standalone tale that spotlights the soul of the Fantastic Four's bedrock, it finds the stone-skinned hero navigating a world of crime and corruption far from the Baxter Building's high-tech heroics. A moody, character-driven detour from the team's cosmic adventures, Grimm Noir is a compact showcase for Duggan's sharp dialogue and Garney's gritty, atmospheric art.
