Nice work by Epting. Looking forward to seeing Ben get a spotlight issue.

Thats the best vampire variant cover by far

Reed looks like hes is 50 and Sue looks like she is 20. I know he's a fair bit older but...ugh.

I don't like the idea of a Thing-less Marvel U, but I'm on for the ride. Steve Epting's art is gorgeous.

I've wanted to mention this before - did Mr. Fantastic use a shrink ray on Dragon Man? He used to be gigantic.

Great looking artwork on Thing and the background, but hideous faces on Reed, Sue and especially Johnny.

Forget Peter and MJ's marriage, Quesada should have issued a permanent moratorium on "Ben gets cured only to be later sacrifice his humanity and become the Thing for the good of his friends/family/world/universe" stories. There's no drama in in anymore. Either give him the power to change back and forth permanently or leave it alone.

This preview makes me sad because Epting is not drawing Cap.

Gonna have to pick this up!

This is why I hate shared Marvel universe continuity.

A writer decides to mess up a favorite character of mine in one given title that I don't read, which is cool, because I don't read it. But then that character has to leave one of my favorite titles, New Avengers, because of it. This is what sucks. Thing finally gets to be a regular in an Avengers title, and because of F4 messing him up, he has to leave the Avengers because of it. This is why I hate Marvel and DC's shared universe continuity crap. It has ruined many of my favorite Marvel and DC titles over the years. Why can't each comic book be self contained? Much more accessible, and less complicated for the creators as well. They can tell much better stories in self contained comic books.

Lol, fanboy rant over with.

Who says Thing will be absent from New Avengers? The transformation only lasts what, a week? Has it been confirmed somewhere that Ben will die in the "Three" story?

No on the Ben dying. No confirmation in this.

But the future New Avengers solicits say that the roster is going to be shaken up, and it's not hard to figure out that because of the current F4 story, Ben is one of the characters that are leaving the New Avengers.
