It would have ok if the Thing had somehow communicated or interacted with the rest of the FF, but no, it was simply part of the story going on in The Thing. IF I WAS INTERESTED IN THAT STORY I WOULD HAVE BEEN BUYING THE THING!! This was no "crossover", no "team-up", it was a cheap attempt to get more people to buy The Thing. Which stinks. Though it was nice to see old Ben with some whiskers. -Jack Applin The Count of All-Vegetable Crisco {hplabs,csu-cs,hp-pcd,nwuxd}!hp-dcd!jack
