Popular Post Dr Zen Posted November 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2022 That series is a really fun read. But I can't think of a reason why it would be worth a lot. grendelbo, steveinthecity, nmtg9 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAR1979 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Like many books Thing 1 hit its bloated height during pandemic bubble. It's a first issue without any firsts, not much to offer to the jump on bandwagon crowd.

mec3437 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I like this series and think it is a fun read. I saw these were going for $20ish at one point a few years ago (2015) but then they went down. The only issue of it that I think anyone cared about was 35. They probably went back up at one point during the past couple years of ridiculousness. Okguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Issue 3 was one of the few times a Marvel Comic shocked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t read the series since I bought them off the rack.

shadroch Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Crystal and Lockjaw show up seeking Bens help. Quicksilver wants to expose his daughter to the mists that produce Inhumans powers and Crystal doesn't want it. Ben is torn and a bit confused why Crystal doesn't want her daughter exposed, when Lockjaw speaks. He was once a regular inhuman until the mists turned him into the dog-like creature we know. mec3437 and THE_BEYONDER 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dug out my copy. I loved Ben having his solo thing going with this series, but always wished Byrne did the art along with the story telling...

Then their many sheep will buy them all up and may make you wealthy on your remaining 400 copies, or not.

the blob Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It was kind of speculated on, like Alpha Flight 1 at the time, gotta think that is going to make it hard go get too high. I suppose in 9.8 anything is possible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
