The Thing: The Next Big Thing

In 2022, Marvel launched The Thing: The Next Big Thing, a one-shot special spotlighting Ben Grimm as he navigates a world that suddenly seems to have no place for a rock-skinned hero. Written with a focus on the character's heart and humor, and brought to life by artist Tom Reilly, this issue finds the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing confronting life's next chapter in a way only he can. It's a compact, character-driven story that reminds readers why the Thing remains one of Marvel's most enduring and beloved figures.
