Description
The Thing attempts to walk back to civilization after his battle with the Hulk last issue. Iron Man flies overhead, but is too busy to stop. Iron Man is returning to the place where he first meet Thanos, in an attempt to find clues of the titan’s location. He is soon ambushed by the blood brothers. The Thing, having seen Iron Man land, follows after him. Monitoring Iron Man from his Cosmic Cube, Thanos orders his agents the Blood Brothers to destroy him. The Blood Brothers however did not anticipate for the arrival of the Thing, who matches their strength and his rocky exterior which prevents them from drinking his blood. With the aid of the Thing, Iron man is able to fight the Blood Brothers to a standstill. With the Blood Brothers defeated, Thanos uses the cosmic cube to send them away. After the fight is over, Iron Man tells Thing that he doesn't have the power to carry them both out of the desert and apologizes. Thing, figuring it is his lot in life trudges off into the desert, continuing his walk back to civilization.
