MARVEL ALL-ON-ONE : THE THING vs THE MARVEL UNIVERSE (Ryan North / Ed McGuinness)

Can’t get enough of the ever lovin’ blue-eyed Thing? Well get ready to peep a whole lot of more of him with Marvel All-On-One, a one-shot written by Ryan North with art by Ed McGuinness which will be told in all splash pages, and double-page splashes.

“So, Ed McGuinness is a modern legend, and working with him is obviously going to be a thrill,” North said via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. BUT – working with him on an issue that’s so big, explosive, and clobber-filled that it HAS to be told in JUST splash pages and double-page spreads, well, that’s literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Every single page is an artist’s showcase, but it’s ALSO the biggest Thing story I’ve ever told, and has a ton of VERY fun battles. And heart too? Moments of recognition and self-discovery? It was a joy to write, one that’s only been surpassed every day as I see the new joys of Ed bringing each page to spectacular life.”

Added McGuiness, “The Thing vs Everybody?! 50 splash pages?! What could go wrong? This has been one of the most fun, challenging books I’ve ever worked on! IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME!”

THE THING VS. THE MARVEL UNIVERSE!

Ben Grimm, A.K.A. The Thing: He’s the ever-lovin’ idol of millions and powerhouse of the Fantastic Four. He’s strong, he’s kind, and he never gives up. And he’s also tired, and he’s sore, and he’s grumpy. There’s always a new threat facing the world or the galaxy or the universe – and somehow, he and the rest of the Fantastic Four are always the only ones who can stop it. Ben Grimm is sick and tired of it. He just wants a break! But when he returns to Earth after a solo mission in space to discover the Fantastic Four have turned against him – along with the rest of New York City, and, apparently, the entire world – he’s got a mystery to solve…and a whole wide world to clobber.

A 50-Page epic told entirely in splash pages! Ben Grimm, A.K.A. The Thing: He’s the ever-lovin’ idol of millions and powerhouse of the Fantastic Four. He’s strong, he’s kind, and he never gives up. He’s also tired, and he’s sore, and he’s grumpy. There’s always a new threat facing the world or the galaxy or the universe — and somehow, he and the rest of the Fantastic Four are always the only ones who can stop it. Ben Grimm is sick and tired of it. He just wants a break! But when he returns to Earth after a solo mission in space to discover the Fantastic Four have turned against him – along with the rest of New York City, and, apparently, the entire world — he’s got a mystery to solve… and a whole wide world to clobber.

Ben Grimm takes on the entire planet in this special Marvel Anniversary issue — across 50 pages of incredible nonstop action so bold, so colossal, that the only pages that aren’t splash pages are double-page spreads! It’s Marvel as you’ve always wanted to see it, at our biggest — our baddest — our most clobberingest! It’s the wildest story we’ve ever published! It’s Marvel All-on-One!

Très fun. Ryan North livre un gros one-shot très animé et bondissant, où un Ben Grimm fatigué et grognon qui revient d’une mission solo et se fait attaquer par les autres membres des 4F, puis Iron Man, puis les Avengers, puis Spider-Man qui fait semblant d’être son allié d’abord. Ce sont tous des robots, et Ben les tabasse les uns après les autres, montrant son intelligence de combat et son flegme. Finalement, Robo-Phoenix envoie la Lune pour tout ravager, Ben survit… et subit une soufflante d’Impossible Man, énervé que Ben ait gâché cette surprise qu’il a préparé pendant des années, avec une enquête que Ben n’a pas du tout menée. Mais Ben a adoré le moment, pour se relâcher, et Impossible Man préparera une suite, ce qui plaît à la Chose !
C’est cool, oui. Ryan North s’amuse à montrer l’intelligence et la force de Ben, alors qu’Ed McGuinness se lanche dans des splash-pages constantes, très bien réalisées, très jolies et très funs.

Un pur divertissement, malin, mignon et très joli.
