Thing (3rd Series)

Ben Grimm has come into some money, and his life will never be the same. That’s the starting point for this solo series in which the Fantastic Four’s rock-covered monster suddenly finds himself a true “idol of millions.” Now he’s hob-nobbing with the stars, attending all the latest banquets and parties, and enjoying his life for the first time. Or is he? Fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, especially when he doesn’t have his longtime love Alicia Masters by his side, and everybody—friends, enemies, you name it—wants a piece of him.

Popular writer Dan Slott crafts this witty and unique look at a character who had been relatively underexposed in recent years, despite the abundance of Fantastic Four titles. Andrea DiVito draws the character in a classic style.
