The Thing clobbers his way into a new comic series starting March 2025

You know what time it is! This March, Ben Grimm is back headlining an all-new solo series! The Thing will be a five-issue limited series written by Tony Fleecs, following his acclaimed Marvel Comics debut in Venom War: Wolverine, and drawn by former Fantastic Four artist Leonard Kirk, known for his stellar work on titles like Star Wars: Battle of Jakku and Sabretooth.

The saga sees Ben Grimm step away from the Fantastic Four to take down a criminal conspiracy with mysterious ties to his childhood on Yancy Street, fighting his way to the top as a one-man clobberin’ machine! But when the big bad puts out a hefty hit on him, he’ll have to battle a who’s who of classic Marvel villains from Bullseye to the unstoppable Juggernaut! Arriving just ahead of Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps this July and perfect for newcomers and True Believers alike, THE THING delivers a timeless, action-packed adventure for one comic books’ most beloved icons.

THE THING CLOBBERS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE!

Ben Grimm may be the strongest member of the Fantastic Four, but once upon a time, he was just a scrawny kid from Yancy Street. When an unexpected visitor from his past sends him on a search for a missing child, the Thing must unravel the mystery even if that means becoming a wanted man! Get ready to see the Ever-Lovin’ Blue-Eyed Thing versus every super-powered criminal and bounty hunter in New York City! Fleecs and Kirk give a glimpse into the history of the Thing that reminds you why Ben Grimm is the heart of the Marvel Universe…and why you don’t want to let him hear you say that!

A cavalcade of artists take readers on a rousing journey across Asgard in Immortal Thor #19

January’s issue of Immortal Thor is destined to go down in Asgardian history as 19 artists come together to deliver an incredible journey across Thor’s kingdom!

While Thor is away gathering resources to deal with the looming threat of Utgard, Immortal Thor #19 spotlights different characters from Thor’s legendary mythos in single-page stories, each drawn by a different artist. The stories will be connected by the mysterious viewpoint of a significant hero from Thor’s past who’s set to return in next week’s Immortal Thor #17.

Immortal Thor #19 marks the return to Asgard for artists Dan Jurgens, Valerio Schiti, CAFU, Lee Garbett, and original Immortal Thor artist Martín Cóccolo. Artist Humberto Ramos and Leonard Kirk’s pages will pick up plot threads introduced in Strange Academy and Avengers Inc., respectively. The issue also reunites Al Ewing with past collaborators like Luciano Vecchio, Juann Cabal, and David Baldeón. Regular series artist Jan Bazaldua will open and close the issue, setting the stage for the title’s startling next arc!

Here’s a full list of artists contributing to this extraordinary issue:

These are the TALES OF ASGARD… Check out some never-before-seen interior artwork and preorder Immortal Thor #19 at your local comic shop today!
