There is surely no better candidate to re-launch Marvel’s resident horror creature Man-Thing than R.L. Stine. If you’ve ever read or seen his Goosebumps series, you’ll know Stine has a unique brand of pulp horror mixed with knowing humour. Now, he brings that strong authorial voice to this new five-part mini-series. However, while fans of the writer will love it, some of Stine’s creative decisions might turn off longtime Marvelites.
In Man-Thing #1, the tragic creature formally known as Dr. Ted Sallis has regained his intelligence and ability to speak and has made the unlikely choice to come to Hollywood to try his hand at being a monster movie star. It’s a significant move away from the traditional depiction of the characters as a dumb – in the literal sense – beast who hides away from society in his swamp.
