Marvel should give Duggan and Garney a shot at similar one-shot tales with other characters, or even more with the Thing. This is a great way to experience the character, get some genre storytelling in, and feast your eyes on some impeccable visuals. Read Full Review

I liked this a lot even if the cover and title make this comic look a lot more noir than it actually is.

Atmospheric, dark story.

A fun, well-crafted read, with particularly awesome art. There's a 95% chance we'll all forget about this entirely, though, and then misremember it as "The Thing Vs. Nightmare."

Trippy.. Alternative..Original Artwork. B+

One shots are kind of hard to pull off nowadays just due to the fact its more money to spend on a story that probably isnt needed. And while this probably wasnt needed it had some great visuals and told a complete story that had me entertained. I can't complain at all.

I’m kind of disappointed that it wasn’t more noir. I liked the moments of noir!
