The Rundown: Ben tries to protect a little girl as Kingpin puts a bounty on his head.
In the aftermath of an explosion, Thing finds himself facing down both Hammerhead and Bullseye when the girl he came looking for emerges from the flames. With Marty nowhere to be seen, Ben rushes the gangster and his goons to secure and protect the girl. After tossing the bad guys into the river, Ben and the girl go on the run.
When Kingpin learns that Ben and the girl have escaped, he decides that putting a bounty on the Thing is the best way to retrieve them and the Wrecking Crew decides to take him up on the offer as Ben and the girl named Sara rest. As Ben fights for his life against multiple enemies, his battle will attract the attention of a bigger, unstoppable threat.
The Story: Fleecs crafts a fun, thrilling adventure in this issue. I love the action throughout the story and how it showcases Ben’s strength and determination. There are some fun comedic moments throughout the story and a wonderful sense of urgency in the plotting as Ben finds himself besieged throughout the series and this issue especially. I really enjoyed this issue and where it leaves the character at the end of it because Fleecs crafts a fantastic cliffhanger that makes me excited to see what happens next.
The Art: Mason crafts some great art throughout the issue. The visuals have the same fun, but intense vibe as the story and I love the visual thrills of the action.
