Neither wholly plant nor animal, neither entirely self-aware nor totally non-sentient, the creature called the Man-Thing is unique, unchanging and alone — but none who encounter him can ever be the same again. Empathic by nature and drawn to fight evil, his shambling visage inspires fear — and whatever knows fear burns at the Man-Thing’s touch! Whether danger rises from the swamp or the city, the past or the future, outer space or the human soul, the Man-Thing awaits!

Celebrating fifty years of strange and thought-provoking storytelling! The macabre Man-Thing rises from his swamp and returns to center stage! Overnight, vegetative pillars arise across the world. Atop them sit ominous bulbs, growing ever more repulsive. As the sun beats down, the bulbs swell, threatening to burst — and all who come into contact with them will burn! The signature curse of the Man-Thing has gone global! NEW VILLAIN HARROWER is trying to scorch humanity from the face of the planet — and when she discovers the Nexus of All Realities, her twisted mission becomes all the more apocalyptic! Unless Earth’s greatest heroes can somehow rejuvenate the Man-Thing and help him reclaim his power, the whole world will be made to know fear — and to burn at its touch! Collecting AVENGERS: CURSE OF THE MAN-THING, SPIDER-MAN: CURSE OF THE MAN-THING and X-MEN: CURSE OF THE MAN-THING. 112 PGS. Rated Teen +
