Man-Thing Comiquette, Polystone
Statue
Perhaps the most expensive Man-Thing item around, if you don't
count the money Marvel wasted spent on the film,
is this US $499.99 bust from
Sideshow Collectibles that appears to have been announced in
April but none of us Muck-Heads noticed at the time: The
latest to join Sideshow's line of Marvel collectibles is the
monstrous Man-Thing Comiquette. Each piece is individually
painted and hand-finished, each with its own unique quality and
detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow C
ollectibles Comiquette. Complete with LED light-up eyes and
towering over 18 inches high, the Man-Thing Comiquette captures
the intimidating presence of the mutant guardian in incredible
detail, the perfect addition to any Marvel display.

Franken-Castle, Part 2
The Punisher is dead, so who, or what, is the giant patchwork
monster skulking through the tunnels under New York? And what do
those strange armored Japanese hunters tracking him want?
Criminals are no longer being killed; they are simply vanishing
into thin air. Listen closely, you can hear their pleas far below
the streets. Those forgotten by society have a new protector. The
Legion of Monsters has found a new leader.

Head Trip, Part 6
Space, the Final Frontier. O-ver-ra-ted. Wade, the severed Zombie
Deadpool head and Dr. Betty find themselves back on good old
Earth, knee-deep in swampy goodness. Seems like Headpool is a
little homesick, and everyone agrees the zombie virus should be
put safely back into its own dimension. All they've got to do is
find that damn dimensional portal. Anyway, you don't think A.I.M,
is gonna give up that easy, do you? No way. Just because their
space station got itself all blown up doesn't mean they're out of
the game. But wait -- who's this surprise guest star? Is it a
MAN? Is it a THING? Well, you see where this is going ... Is this
enough preview copy to get you to buy the damn book'because I can
go on all night?!

Letterer Todd Klein has recently updated (sentance in
bold) the news on his site
regarding the long lost Man-Thing graphic novel: Not sure what the
final title of this will be, it's a script from the 1990s, I
believe, by Steve Gerber, with terrific art by Kevin Nowlan, who
started it a long time ago, and is now finally wrapping it up.
Wild stuff, wonderful art! The project has been dormant
for a while, but Marvel recently asked for lettering on most of
the remaining pages (a few still to come from Kevin), so
hopefully it will see print this year.
