Thread 149959498

Haven't storytimed the issues of The Thing beyond #1, so we're catching up on everything Ben Grimm today.
>THE THING VS. THE MARVEL UNIVERSE - A 50-Page epic told entirely in splash pages! Ben Grimm, A.K.A. The Thing: He's the ever-lovin' idol of millions and powerhouse of the Fantastic Four. He's strong, he's kind, and he never gives up. And he's also tired, and he's sore, and he's grumpy. There's always a new threat facing the world or the galaxy or the universe - and somehow, he and the rest of the Fantastic Four are always the only ones who can stop it. Ben Grimm is sick and tired of it. He just wants a break! But when he returns to Earth after a solo mission in space to discover the Fantastic Four have turned against him - along with the rest of New York City, and, apparently, the entire world - he's got a mystery to solve...and a whole wide world to clobber.
>Ben Grimm takes on the entire planet in this special Marvel Anniversary issue - across 50 pages of incredible nonstop action so bold, so colossal, that the only pages that aren't splash pages are double-page spreads!
>It's Marvel as you've always wanted to see it, at our biggest - our baddest - our most clobberingest! It's the wildest story we've ever published! It's Marvel All-on-One!

Bump if you're reading

It's gotta take a lot of finesse for Ben to use that thing

heh

Here for killer robo Carol

Now for Thing #2

Thing #1 storytime here
>148745864

err, here
>>>148745864

>>149959498 (OP)
Oh this is gonna be good

>>149959756
Fucking hysterical

And now for The Thing #3

so new MGH formula and the girl unlocked powers?

>>149959965
judging from what Gladiator was saying in issue #1 ("they put things in me"), might be something more than just that

>>149959939
Diamondback looks nice on the cover there.

>>149959998
weird that neither her nor the rest of Serpent Society seem to be appearing despite being teased back in issue #1
I was expecting them to pop up at the same time with Wrecking Crew, but alas

>>149960014
Shame but suppose at least means they aren't being chumped out or mishandled at least which is sadly all to common with their modern appearances. Especially after the ghastly addition Jason Aaron slapped on them to shill no one's favourite character.

>>149960060
Always nice to see Wrecker fight The Thing except for that one Sentry bullshit.

>>149960067
Let's not even mention THAT comic in this holy thread

>>149960066
I'm pretty sure Ben Grimm would know about their magic derived super strength they already have since he's fought Wrecker enough times.

>>149960079
I think he's just fucking with them
like in a "you guys call this super-strength?" way

>>149960071
Fair point since hate that issue so much for that single often posted page and how it slanders my guy Dirk, Though shame Wrecker used to be able to square up with Thing solo and even in a Bendis written story almost pummeled Wolverine, Spider-man and Spider-Woman on his own but now is just a jobber. Least he got that cool reveal and moment in Moon Knight a while back.

ENTER

>>149960086
Yeah that'd make sense since Ben likes to bant, also since talking Wrecking Crew. Poor Bulldozer really has nothing going for him even without being compared to his teammates or even Juggernaut, Rhino and the other run at thing guys.

Buy these in your local comic store if you liked 'em. Or something.
NEXT WEEK
>The second-stringers have fallen, and now it's time for Ben Grimm to hit harder than he's ever punched anyone! Can he stop the unstoppable Juggernaut while protecting an innocent child? And who is watching the battle from the shadows?

>>149960090
To be fair Wrecker's best fight against Ben was when he had the full power of Wrecking Crew in himself. Here in most other fights he's sharing with the other three and that leaves him four times weaker individually.

>>149960142
I have to wonder if he's ever thought of dropping the other 3 to retain his peak strength or if he's just gotten so codependent with his team that he doesn't even consider buffing up by discarding them since they are essentially all Dirks got with his grandmother he is fond of long passed and no other friends or family of note.

>>149959513
bump

>>149959750
tbf to Ben, you didn't really give him time to investigate

>>149960368
nobody ever accused Impy of being reasonable

>>149960108
apparently Bulldozer himself thinks this way too

>>149960090
He also just got beat up by Daredevil and Elektra.

>>149959540
Somewhere in Manhattan there's a completely anatomically correct robot torso of Sue Stolorm just lying around.

So how long before the re-coloring edits for All-In-One begin?

>>149959513
>>149959518
>Dam, those alien bastards gonna pay for shootin up my ride

>>149959759
Honestly, it really would feel pretty cathartic to beat the shit out of the Marvel's DEI Avengers line-up.

>>149959540
>>149959535
What is the draw for morbid, out of character shit like this? I have never understood these types of comics.

>>149961554
what are you talking about, these are fucking robots

>>149959858
Dude you just trained one to be your sidekick,

>>149959685
Often people underestimate the fact tha Ben Is smart enough to work with Reed's complex machines and vehicles.
Spiderman web shooter must be a child play for him.

>>149962431
Ben actively contributes to that by pretending to be simple and acting like what Reed says is quantum physics to him (something Reed and Cap both called him out on) despite having multiple engineering degrees and building hi-tech planes by hand.

>>149959660
Hey, there's the black Goliath that got killed in Civil War!

>>149962748
He's even wearing his old costume, not the one he died in. Impossible Man must have been working on this thing since goddamn 80s.

>>149959750
>>149959756
>dungeon master nerd rage

>>149962820
Shit I must be super slow because didn't even catch that at first.
>Impossible Man is a DM who poured his heart and soul into exhaustingly detailed and lore filled campaign
>Ben comes in and just murderhobos his way through the whole thing without caring about plot and mystery
>The Moon drop is a literal "rock falls, everyone dies" moment

>>149962894
and a good metaphor on how world ending "events" are just used to wipe the board so the plot can move along and then get rebooted willy nilly

Ok

>>149959528
CULO

RoboCarol bump

>>149959498 (OP)
Nightcrawler and venom are having a good time here

>>149959498 (OP)
Fun

>>149959686
>>149959688
Sexy Wanda bot noooooo

>>149960101
Isn't Juggernaut still chilling with the X-men?

>>149962431
>>149962550
This

Ben is an aeronautical engineer, test pilot and the only member of the FF who was already an astronaut before they got their powers.

>>149966105
The events of the mini take place in the past. You can tell that by F4's costumes in issue 1.

>>149962431
I just meant that the trigger mechanism is a tiny little sensor that you need to double tap to fire. For Ben to be able to do that consistently with his big ass hands takes a lot of skill

>>149959592
Nice Carol pose.

>>149959660
>>149959676
She-Hulk only gets two pages.
Shame, her skanky ass beat the Champion!
