While Man-Thing certainly has his fans, the real selling point of this new mini-series is not the title character, but the writer. Goosebumps creator R.L. Stine is making his comic book debut here, and he's certainly working in the right corner of the Marvel Universe. Stine shows little difficulty transition into this new medium, though this issue's awkward structure does tend to hold it back.
Basically, Man-Thing #1 suffers from the same problem as DC's current Suicide Squad comic. The decision to include a main story and a backup story of roughly equal length limits what Stine can really accomplish with either. The main tale offers an intriguingly different take on Man-Thing, mainly because of Stine's decision to restore his Ted Ellis persona and make the creature capable of speech again. But between the short length and the decision to devote precious room to recapping Man-Thing's origin, the plot isn't able to progress very far before reaching an abrupt cliffhanger. The same goes for the backup, which starts out well but feels rushed in its final panels.
