Story is a good read as far as a historical lead up. This is still just a small possibility in the story kinda like a word of mouth legend.

This could've been quite an amazing prequel had they split this into two issues, or done one oversized issue. The concepts at play, as well as the environments, tension, and art, are generally solid, but it was obviously rushed, and you could tell the team was hindered by the small page count restriction.

This was an all-right Thing mythos story. I liked it more for the art than anything, as there was some truly fantastic monster design. Unfortunately the story wasn't very good, and I really question the presence of a Thing in the Viking era that wouldn't have killed everyone.
