Over the many years that DC and Marvel have been in business, they’ve printed countless publications for readers to consume, love and enjoy. Both companies currently put out over 50 new comics a month — that’s more than anyone can even keep up with. So, naturally, some of even the greatest stories are bound to fly under readers’ radars and go unnoticed.
A lot of those stories end up being miniseries or limited series that get overshadowed by the hype of ongoing titles. When everyone is so busy trying to keep up with the current storylines in Avengers and Batman and Spider-Man and Justice League, hardly anyone is going to concern themselves with a four-issue miniseries that’ll be over and forgotten about by the end of the year. However, that doesn’t mean miniseries like Quicksilver: No Surrender and Joker: Killer Smile can’t be absolutely stellar in quality and tell refreshing, more self-contained tales of their own.
This series is centered around an integral part of Ben Grimm’s character that dates all the way back to when he first got his powers: self-image and insecurity. But what it specifically does well is showcase The Thing’s uglier qualities on the inside — the wrinkles in his past. Sending a heavy message about how actions and words will always matter more than looks, this incredibly sentimental and emotional tale proves once again why The Thing is the true heart of the Fantastic Four.
