  • Halloween Comic Cover of the Week: Ben Grimm Meets the UNDEAD!

    I was such a gigantic fan of The Thing as a kid (and still today) and would buy pretty much any comic book he appeared in if my mom would buy it for me! All of my time seeing him in the Fantastic Four had always made me wish he’d get his own solo book.…
