Ben Grimm travels to the Jersey Shore (and beyond) for a Grimm family reunion. Things get even more awkward when Doctor Strange shows up with information about the time-and-space-traveling thief who's been haranguing the THING. Don't miss part three of the greatest THING story ever told, as far as we know...
Rated T
Valenza adds a bit of crucial depth and atmosphere around the edges of the action, but Skroce runs everything else with an expert sense of showmanship. Given how completely Skroces art and writing style dominates the series, Clobberin Time really sets itself apart from much of the rest of the mainstream comics rack. If it werent for the fact that Skroce is working with some of the biggest-named characters at Marvel in one of the most recognizable settings in comic books, Clobberin Time would feel a lot like an indie comic.

Clobberin' Time is so good I wish Marvel Comics gave Skroce carte blanche to do a solo book for every hero. Blending humor, adult themes, and a sweet, artistic style, every page delivers. Read Full Review
The inclusion of dark magical entities provides an excellent backdrop for this humorous affair, including a pair of devilish children who deliver Skroce's unique brand of violence with gusto. That all of this serves as an origin story for Clobberin' Time's antagonist and sets the stage for another mighty team-up makes it clear that this series still has plenty of hits and haha's to deliver.

Clobbering Time has that wholesome Saturday morning cartoon feel that will more than satisfy the need for some easy reading or a good adventure story. Read Full Review
Clobberin' Time #3 rolls up its sleeves and gets down to the business of telling a “serious” time-traveling adventure that partners Thing with Dr. Strange. Unfortunately, the time travel explanation surrounding Ogdu (the thief) doesn't quite work, and the highlights from issues #1 and #2 (fun and humor) are greatly reduced. Read Full Review
Really liked Skroce's art here. Fun book.
Nit pick: Why do so many artists feel compelled to draw Dr. Strange's magic the same way it's portrayed in the MCU? That's the bad kind of cross-media synergy; it suggests a lack of imagination.
