I had trouble getting interested in the third issue in the series. The fourth issue tries to make up for that with some strange and interesting moments, but it feels like the limited series was stretched into more issues than needed. It always hurts the series when you feel as if they are just trying to squeeze more money from you and the third and fourth issue does feel like padding to get more money. The art is still strong and the anthology story in this issue was interesting. Stine's writing is still catchy even if parts go nowhere. Overall this series works but it should be more concise.

Man-Thing is forced to kill the Oldfather. Sure he's been hypnotized and jerked through a bunch of hallucinatory craziness, but this murder *definitely* happened for real. RL Stine has mistaken Man-Thing for Hulk, dream sequences for plot development, and his readers for idiots. The plot is virtually random, and the only bright spot is that it gives German Peralta plenty of opportunities for great art. The natural takeaway from this issue and the series as a whole is "why can't Mr. Peralta get put on a *good* title?"
