The mucky man monster returns to meet the Amazing Spider-Man in a double-sized epic that connects to both Peter Parker's youth and his present-day adventures. In the Florida Everglades, Spider-Man squares off against eight hundred pounds of menace -- the savage, mindless Man-Thing! But after the battle, Spidey finds his own, radiation-altered body chemistry changing radically. To stop his hideous transformation, he'll have to face his own greatest fear!

Jan 10, 2009The story provides an interlude to Spider-Man's adventures, but doesn't rely deliver much of a payoff for any Man-Thing fans. I'd honestly rather re-read "Marvel Team-Up" #122 again. As a matter of fact, if you're on the edge of whether or not to buy this issue, having read my review or having <a href="<a href="http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=1815&disp=table" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=1815&disp=table</a>" target="_blank">peeked at the preview pages</a>, check the back issue bins at your comic shop. If you can land "Marvel Team-Up" #122 for the same price as this issue, do it. Read Full Review

Jan 07, 2009Perhaps there really is a fan out there who has always dreamed of a Spider-Man/Man-Thing team-up. If there is, I'd still recommend against buying this issue. If Spider-Man: Fear Itself enables Marvel to retain the copyright on Man-Thing for another few decades, then it will have accomplished something. Beyond that, it strikes me as utterly pointless and not at all memorable. Read Full Review

I... have mixed feelings about it. Yeah, it has some mediocre art, but... I can't say it was revolting or something. But the story... I think it's obvious why such stories belong to some random one shots and not the main series. It's pretty weird, too short to really feel anything, but I can't say it was boring or dumb. Just... okay? And no, it has nothing to do with the Fear Itself event. It's just has the same title for some reason... I love Marvel.
