R.L. Stine is famous for his Goosebumps and Fear Street horror books aimed at young adults. He claims he grew up a fan of comic books. So it makes sense that Marvel Comics approached him in 2017 and let him do whatever he wanted with their D-list character Man-Thing. And while it can be a good idea to try fresh ideas with obscure characters, in this case the pairing did not work. This video breaks down how the comic lacks structure, horror, and hits the reader with tons of bad jokes instead.
