The Thing: Freakshow

Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins teamed up for this 2002 Marvel miniseries, which pits Ben Grimm—the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing—against a bizarre new threat. After a mysterious carnival rolls into town, the Thing finds himself trapped in a twisted freakshow where the performers aren't what they seem, blending horror and superheroics. Kolins's gritty, dynamic art brings a dark carnival atmosphere to life, making this a distinctive, character-driven adventure from the early 2000s.
