I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
But it's not quite what you'd expect, not from anything other than Secret Wars. This issue shows us the Thing's origin, and why he's so desperate to get The Hulk. It all makes sense in the end, and this went by far too fast: I desperately wanted to know how it would play out.
Kinda like I expected, but the deal offered at the end? I did not see that coming, nor did I expect that answer to be given.
Luckily, issue 3 is up on MU, so I'm going to read that right now.
