I've been loving this mini. King hits all the right notes with this mother/daughter relationship (which has rarely been explored in the past). We still don't know exactly "why" Dinah is even in this fight and that last page clue doesn't help matters. I haven't watched a 'fight' since the Ali days so I give a pass to the announcers dialogue which sounds stilted to me but could be how they talk today. Ryan Sook is fantastic and beautiful and gruesome all at the same time. With this mini, the stink (by association) from the Bendis Legion-thing is forgiven.

North completely missed who the Thing/Ben Grimm is. The Marvel character with the greatest will power of them all (even Cap) is reduced to a babbling cry baby. He loses his power and instead of dealing with it or using multiple ways of becoming the Thing again, either by rocket, exo-skeleton, etc., he'd rather alter his mind into being a simp (that somehow only Alicia detects). That is NOT Ben Grimm. And speaking of Alicia, even she could have seen the trope mugging scene coming. The one saving grace this issue has is that North doesn't bore us with another multi-page science lesson.
