Cover by Daniel Acuña, variant by Patrick Gleason, variant by Chris Sprouse, design variant by Carmen Carnero, Stormbreaker variant by Joshua Cassara. Burn At The Touch Of The Harrower! For decades, the Man-Thing has haunted the Florida Everglades. Now a new enemy has hijacked his body on a quest to take his incendiary abilities global. The Marvel Universe wakes to fear as gargantuan monoliths menace cities worldwide, with only the Avengers standing between the population of Earth and a planetwide inferno, Can they save Man-Thing in time to douse the fires? And does the man inside the thing, Ted Sallis, even want to be saved? All this plus a sensational new villain designed by Marvel's Stormbreaker Carmen Carnero await readers in the exciting opening tale that will kick off an unforgettable journey for Man-Thing and your favorite Marvel heroes including the X-Men, Spider-Man and more! Avengers: Curse of the Man Thing marks Orlando's first Marvel project, with the bulk of the writer's previous work being for DC Comics. It's a huge honor to be asked to make my debut as part of a character's anniversary, Orlando told Bloody Disgusting. There's an incredible amount of faith and opportunity there, and it's something I never take lightly! It is honestly amazing to be welcomed to Marvel and tell this nailbiter of a story that's going to remind people just how unique Man-Thing is. He'll be better positioned than ever to shock and scare readers and villains alike, but first he'll have to survive an attack that cuts him to his core and sets the Marvel Universe ablaze. If you like super heroes and the supernatural, you'll love this high octane celebration of one of Marvel's strangest characters, added editor Mark Paniccia. It feels like its own big event. And Steve's epic story will reveal, amongst other things, an unexpected new dimension of the Marvel Universe.

X-Men: Curse of the Man-Thing #1 () writer Steve Orlando. Man-Thing's tragic curse has finally been revealed... but it's under new management! Years ago, Doctor Ted Sallis was ready to give up anything to crack the SO-2 serum and deliver success to his growing family. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world...he did. Today, as cities spanning from the U.S. to Krakoa are besieged by fear-driven blazes, the Man-Thing must reckon with his past deeds if he hopes to emerge renewed and rescue a world on fire. But fighting from his lowest means that Man-Thing can rise to his highest, especially with the unexpected help of the X-Men's resident sorceress Magik and her debuting team of monstrous mutants known as The Dark Riders! Magik will lead one of the most eclectic group of mutants ever assembled, a fearsome mix of fan-favorites and obscure delights: Marrow, Forearm, Shark-Girl, Wolf Cub, and Mammomax!
