Marvel Two-In-One Epic Collection: Project Pegasus

One of the all-time-greatest Thing adventures!

Two-fisted fun doesn’t come any finer than Marvel Two-In-One — and the beloved “Project PEGASUS” saga stands as one of the series’ greatest triumphs! When the Thing visits a top-secret S.H.I.E.L.D. energy installation, he’s not prepared for the gauntlet ahead. Teaming up with Quasar and Giant-Man, he clashes with Thundra, battles a time-lost Deathlok and witnesses the startling transformation of Wundarr. Then the Thing unites with FF teammate Johnny Storm and witnesses “The Coming of Her” on Counter-Earth! The action only intensifies with the power of Maelstrom and the shocking return of the Serpent Crown. And it’s the story you never thought you’d see: The Thing joins forces with the Yancy Street Gang! Plus: Cosmic Marvel gets its due in Thing team-ups with Moondragon, Starhawk, Adam Warlock and the Guardians of the Galaxy!
