MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE OMNIBUS VOL. 1

Read the Thing’s first headlining series before his MCU debut in Fantastic Four: First Steps!

Whether it’s heroes looking to team up or villains trying to test their mettle, everybody loves an adventure with the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing! And we have no doubt that you’ll love the Marvel Two-In-One Omnibus! It’s packed with page after page of action that’s just plain fun. Who wouldn’t want to see the Thing fight the Man-Thing? Or take a spin on a back-from-the-future Guardians of the Galaxy spaceship? Or just smash some stuff up in a battle with the towering beast Braggadoom? Marvel Two-In-One also features an exploration of the origins of Spider-Woman and an out-of-control Deathlok programmed for assassination. And if that’s not enough, well, hey, the Thing takes a trip to the Bermuda Triangle to punch dinosaurs. How can you not love that?
