OGDU FRAIZE's plan is almost complete, he has reverse engineered every item of power across the Marvel Universe's timestream to create the PSYCHOPOMP machine, a device that will steal the creation energy of the nascent GALACTUS and the SENTIENCE of the UNIVERSE at the moment of the BIG BANG. The THING, DOCTOR DOOM and TUVAH TU are an unwilling audience to the universe's re-making. That is, unless they can get free...
Rated T+
The tone of this series is a lot less serious than other comics and took a lot less time to get going. Even if you are only a casual fan of these characters I would recommend this issue and the series as it is so fun to follow through and entire story from start to end. Read Full Review
Clobberin' Time #5 brings the wildly weird time-traveling adventure to a close with big action set pieces, an uptick in humor, and a mostly satisfying conclusion. Read Full Review
As it stands, Clobberin' Time #5 wraps up its own plot neatly and provides a fine showcase for Ben Grimm as an icon of superhero comics and unforgettable character in dialogue and spirit, but it also makes clear that there's not much left to be mined from this particular version of The Thing.

Ben's not wrong when he derides Ogdu as basic; that guy and his scheme aren't going to show up on anybody's list of "top 10 cosmic threats." The heroes subject him to an off-the-shelf defeat.
Fortunately, the WAY the story's told does a lot to overcome any shortcomings in the plot and antagonist. The art is still scrupulously, gloriously grotesque, and the dialogue really rises to a series-wide high point here at the end.
All in all, this title is thoroughly enjoyable--all the more so because it really sticks the landing here.
This is 2/2 on strange Thing miniseries that baffle me.
