  This issue continues to deliver a very impressive show, as Evan Dorkin has proven to have a very solid understanding of the Thing, and what makes him tick. I mean creating a love triangle that involves the Thing is certainly hard enough, as the idea that a woman would look at Ben & instantly fall in love is a rather fantastic premise by itself, and for as long as I can remember Ben has always been with Alica, so having him return the affections being shown toward him by another woman is in direct contrast to Ben's standup guy persona. However, the book has deftly addressed both these stumbling blocks, with the latter one taking a lion's share of this issue's attention. The book is a very compelling romance scenario, with a pretty exciting action closer to pull us into the next chapter. Read Full Review
