2.13 (378) The Thing vol 1 #15 ... Marvel ...

Well since there is a request for a bit more information about the old Thing ongoing, here is our next review ... as we followed Ben after his last victory onwards ...

In this issue, he and Tarianna's recovered spaceship finally gives out and they landed in a space port of sorts hoping to find parts but money is in short supply and even then Ben goes to a tavern for a drink. Well if that isn't looking for trouble I don't know what is

Naturally there is some sort of bad guy who then goes to hassle Tari only to be taken care of by Ben in the form of Bengrimm not the Thing

That sort of tells you the quality and seriousness of this issue ... and as they walked onwards, throughout the issue, Ben keeps getting set up for minor pranks sort of like banana peels strewn across his path and what-not making him think of the Yancy Street Gang i.e. the neighbourhood where he grew up where a gang of kids are always trying to give him a hard time

About the only other interesting bit here is the green girl whose mates discovered a weapon only to have it disappeared in her hand and appearing in the hands of the bad guy from the bar ... this indicates that something else is controlling Ben's misadventures ... something more serious than pranks but as to who or what this is ... we are not even given the usual shadowy presence

Ratings: 4/10
