BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
The ever lovin’ blue-eyed Thing find himself on the wrong end of just about the entire Marvel U, and he’s gotta figure out why.
It’s… well you know
There’s going to be a whole lot of clobberin’ in this one, as The Thing is going to have a big problem on his rocky hands. Just revealed by Marvel Comics, Marvel All-on-One #1 is the publisher’s latest anniversary one-shot, and it’s starring Ben Grimm in a battle against the entirety of the Marvel Universe.
Writer Ryan North and artist Ed McGuinness kick off the action when a very tired and all together grumpy Thing returns from a mission off-world. Once he gets back, he finds that everybody (and we mean everybody) is out for his head. Maybe even his dear old Aunt Petunia.
So what happened to turn friends into foes? That’s what Ben’s got to find out, and he’ll have 50 pages to do it.
THE THING VS. THE MARVEL UNIVERSE!
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.
On the experience crafting such a unique issue, North shared, “So, Ed McGuinness is a modern legend, and working with him is obviously going to be a thrill. BUT – working with him on an issue that’s so big, explosive, and clobber-filled that it HAS to be told in JUST splash pages and double-page spreads, well, that’s literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Every single page is an artist’s showcase, but it’s ALSO the biggest Thing story I’ve ever told, and has a ton of VERY fun battles. And heart too? Moments of recognition and self-discovery? It was a joy to write, one that’s only been surpassed every day as I see the new joys of Ed bringing each page to spectacular life.”
“The Thing vs Everybody?! 50 splash pages?! What could go wrong?” McGuiness added. “This has been one of the most fun, challenging books I’ve ever worked on! IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME!”
