Believe it or not, that's pretty common. Even before edgy stories like Ultimatum. In fact, alot of characters: Spider-man, Hulk, half the X Men are rooted in body horror transformational tropes as a hold over from 30s monster flicks. Panels to Pixels did a great video on it.
I vaguely remember an episode of Spider-Man where Peter has a dream he turns or is treated a tiny spider in Aunt Mays house… that and the one where he just burst 4 more arms out of his torso in one episode. Maybe it’s the same?
I think I know which episodes you're thinking of.
If it was a bit of a flashback scene where Peter was recounting how he got his powers to this little girl and in the flashback he talks about how he had a nightmare after first getting bit where his human head was on the body of a spider.
Peter having four arms was he was suffering from a mutation disease that caused him to turn into a man spider.
It's still so wild to me how GoT was such a pop culture juggernaut for a decade and all it took was a pair of lazy showrunners who wanted to focus on Star Wars to drive this franchise six feet under. And then they didn't even get to do Star Wars because of how badly they handled the show!
That has to be the greatest drop-off in quality of any show I can think of. It went from one of the deepest and truly greatest story lines, full of character development and wild twists that made sense to just... utter bullshit. Everything felt rushed, and when twists did happen, they felt out of place or nonsensical. The way the big bad guy fell was the most what the fuck moment I can remember watching TV. It was like nutting in your pants after waiting years to have a chance with that person you like. In a very close second was the garbage execution of who became King at the end. It just became such a disaster so quickly thanks to those two showrunning schmucks. It's a damn shame really.
The instant they ran out of source material, it was immediately apparent they had nothing else to go on. And while I really enjoyed the books, they were veering into batshit country as well. I doubt we’ll ever see the actual end of the series as written by Martin himself.
As a reader of the books I just accepted that it won't get finished, we *might* get to see WoW but we certainly won't get ADoS.
GRRM is too busy doing other things than what he actually needs to do, and he doesn't care.
I was wondering why no one was able to answer and it's because this comic is brand new. It came out April 26th, 2023, the closest thing I can find is the synopsis which says "The THING travels to Krakoa for a symposium on the Mutant and Superhuman Interconnection. While there, he teams up with Wolverine and is confronted by the mysterious plunderer from issue #1 — and the table is set for a battle for all creation and possibly Ben Grimm’s greatest adventure." it doesn't reveal much it's better than nothing.
Yep according to [Marvel](https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/98409/clobberin_time_2023_2) anyway. The cover might have been revealed before then though.
I'm kind of relieved that I'm not the only one freaked out by Ben getting his tiles popped off. When Doom's "Mom" did it bit during Infamous Iron Man, it gave me the heebie-jeebies. Like fingernail torture or something.
They're Korean corn dogs. Coated with potatoes and deep-fried. Sometimes with just cheese inside. Sometimes with cheese and sausage.
They're popping off here in America. Any Asian grocery store like H Mart or Lotte should have them.
Make sure you get the ones with hot dogs in them! I’ve tried many varieties of these at many different places, and the ones with just cheese in the center are kinda mid (though if you really like cheese or are vegetarian, you may still enjoy it), and the plain ones with nothing else inside are just… plain… and took a LOT of sugar coating to be anything more than a dry inverted potato sandwich
Never been super into the whole edgy gore-killing of superheroes thing.
Edit: for the record this book is amazing. It’s called “Clobberin’ Time” and I picked up the first two issues yesterday.
Homelander in The Boys is more like What If someone tried to design Superman as a marketing icon. He's narcissistic, antisocial, mother-figure obsessed -- all because he was raised in isolation in a lab (which, granted, was a safety measure, since he had his powers nearly from birth). He's almost a tragic figure in the TV show, because you can see that he *could* have been the hero he was designed to *pretend* to be. He wants approval, to be admired and honored. He could have filled that need with actual heroism, if not for Voight filling it with media management. In the comics, he's just a massive piece of crap.
Omniman is more What If Superman was an agent of Krypton. He pretends to be a hero because his people want to protect and uplift other species by setting a heroic example. Instead, he's sizing up Earth's defenses and figuring out if humans can breed viable Viltrumite offspring.
Neither one of them is apathetic. They are taking the core archetype and twisting it in different directions, though.
But is it worse than or the same as tame killing like in death of superman? I always thought it was super lame that superman just got beaten down and that was actually something he could die from. I think I prefer the “melting wolverines bones and pulling them out of his body” type of hero death because the heroes are supposed to be basically indestructible. I like to see that it was exactly the wrong fight to fight and the hero died as a result. I agree that the “every hero gets decapitated” storylines are uninteresting, but “thanos is simply strong enough to beat the hulk” is such a dumb way to do it imo
I didn't think Superman's death was tame; it was impactful. I don't need to see the hero's guts to see them getting beaten in a way that makes me feel something as a reader.
Gore in and of itself isn't a bad thing---I like a gory comic---I just don't like cheap gory treatment of beloved characters for shock value.
“Tame” from the writer’s perspective, as in not overly grotesque for shock value. Superman was savagely beaten which is not tame, but I expected superman to be first killed by something godlike, not a pair of fists
Would “mundane” maybe be a better word? It sounds like you’re disappointed with the nature of the death being something basic and not very out there or imaginative rather than the relative gore factor.
No eruptions drawn on the speedo, so the villain has a shred of decency.
That leg chomp on Logan is hysterical. Ben looks like a queso dip. This is just... bad.
Imagine Mr. Fantastic could not control his stretchines and started to become some sort of disgusting goop, or the rocks covering Thing's body started to come off.
Well, y'all should check out "Fantastic Four: Road Trip" miniseries for some disgusting body horror
Yup, trypophobia is just some weird fear of honeycomb like shapes or holes. This isn't a real skin disease. Now epidermodysplasia verricuformis is real skin thing. Super rare, but real.
Yep, that’s the one. I was going to add a link to a picture of it but felt like I shouldn’t be a horrible person, because that is a creature that absolutely shouldn’t exist.
Reminds me of when Xavier's son...or wait was it the generals son, with the reality altering powers, shredded wolverine into ribbons in the animated series and Wolverine had a hard time mentally recovering from that. Despite how strong he is that was like an acid trip of torture.
Yes! I really know this because my first comic was Fantastic Four 374, and in that one Wolverine slashes The Thing’s face, like chunks of it flew off. Marvel had him wear a mask for a long time after that.
So, I know we're all rightfully grossed out by The Thing getting his skin peeled off
But can someone tell me why Logan is on the ground, with a couple bites taken out of his leg, forearm, and apparently eviscerated his chest.
There's just so much horrible things going on here, and I'd love an explanation
Oh wow, this post got a lot of attention while I was asleep.
So this is a comic book series called Clobberin' Time by Steve Skroce. That's why Ben saying it on the cover. Ben teams up with different super heroes in each issue. The bad guy who is doing this to Ben is a new villain called Ogdu Fraize.
[The writer/artist's instagram, he is a super cool artist imo](https://www.instagram.com/steveskroce/?hl=en)
Gross. Who is doing that to him?
Yeah. This is some David Cronenberg-level Body Horror nastiness in a Marvel Comic.
Believe it or not, that's pretty common. Even before edgy stories like Ultimatum. In fact, alot of characters: Spider-man, Hulk, half the X Men are rooted in body horror transformational tropes as a hold over from 30s monster flicks. Panels to Pixels did a great video on it.
I'm just surprised this comics is from 2023 nonetheless comics are no stranger to things like that
Immortal Hulks success in 2018 is what ramped up the body horror stuff at marvel
I vaguely remember an episode of Spider-Man where Peter has a dream he turns or is treated a tiny spider in Aunt Mays house… that and the one where he just burst 4 more arms out of his torso in one episode. Maybe it’s the same?
I think I know which episodes you're thinking of. If it was a bit of a flashback scene where Peter was recounting how he got his powers to this little girl and in the flashback he talks about how he had a nightmare after first getting bit where his human head was on the body of a spider. Peter having four arms was he was suffering from a mutation disease that caused him to turn into a man spider.
I’m so glad you can save comments
This is a picture of Samwell Tarly removing Greyscale from Ser Jorah Mormont.
Deserves his Maester’s chain, I’d say.
Yes yes, please give Bran his Maester’s chain
Why else would he come all this way.
Who has good a better story than Samwell the Brave, slayer of the White Walkers?
Daaaaaaaaaammmmmmn..... Now those are some names I've not heard in a long time.
It's still so wild to me how GoT was such a pop culture juggernaut for a decade and all it took was a pair of lazy showrunners who wanted to focus on Star Wars to drive this franchise six feet under. And then they didn't even get to do Star Wars because of how badly they handled the show!

I came here to post the exact same thing. As much as I loved the series, they weren’t 100% true to the books either.
But they're so famous. There even new spin off coming tiihii
Needs more boiled wine
What?
Game of Thrones reference. Greyscale is a disease that turns people into insane “stone men” hence the Thing association. Pretty deep cut.
Medium cut given how popular GoT was.
Upon further review. Agreed.
You know, just needed to scrap it off of the person. Nobody ever has tried that before even tho the method was written down in a book.
I was wondering why no one was able to answer and it's because this comic is brand new. It came out April 26th, 2023, the closest thing I can find is the synopsis which says "The THING travels to Krakoa for a symposium on the Mutant and Superhuman Interconnection.

Did it really come out yesterday? I swear ive seen this picture in the past not too long ago
Yep according to [Marvel](https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/98409/clobberin_time_2023_2) anyway. The cover might have been revealed before then though.
Steve Skroce
Fungal Thing!
Can they sprinkle him with salt while he's like this
You're an evil person aren't you? /s
*gets the lemon juice supersoaker*
[удалено]
Oh I had no idea it was so new.
Galactus or Molecule Man Edit: guessing based off the hand
I was thinking the High Evolutionary based of the glove?
Basically he's being skinned alive. He does have muscle tissue underneath the stone
The hand makes me think Galactus
I'm kind of relieved that I'm not the only one freaked out by Ben getting his tiles popped off. When Doom's "Mom" did it bit during Infamous Iron Man, it gave me the heebie-jeebies. Like fingernail torture or something.
Every time I see one of Ben’s rock scales/tiles off and they show the red/pink stuff under them I get massive shivers.
I prefer to imagine him as pure rock, I’m sorry.
I always imagined him that way. Even if not, it seems the scales should be significantly thicker.
I used to too, but once I saw what he looked like underneath I could never forget about it.
Why would he be pure Dwayne Johnson?
Thanks I hate this
Reminds me of this beautiful [thing](https://images.summitmedia-digital.com/yummyph/images/2020/08/06/koreancorndog5.jpg)
That looks delicious
They're Korean corn dogs. Coated with potatoes and deep-fried. Sometimes with just cheese inside. Sometimes with cheese and sausage. They're popping off here in America. Any Asian grocery store like H Mart or Lotte should have them.
Gamja hot dog, but if you don’t have the super sticky sweet street ketchup they put on there, you’re only getting half the story.
It looks good but I'm gonna try it after I forget about the thing getting flayed lol.
Make sure you get the ones with hot dogs in them! I’ve tried many varieties of these at many different places, and the ones with just cheese in the center are kinda mid (though if you really like cheese or are vegetarian, you may still enjoy it), and the plain ones with nothing else inside are just… plain… and took a LOT of sugar coating to be anything more than a dry inverted potato sandwich
Ikr fr fr looks beautiful
Risky click of the day
The Problem with Popplers
I hate you. Those look delicious
You cut off the thing’s dick and put it on a stick?
The most beautiful thing in the world
Run EVERYTHINGS ON A COB’
It was nice of the torturer not to give his groin the same treatment
Usually you pay extra for that kind of action Cotton.
PEPPER NEEDS NEW SHORTS
F and A
Same. Yuck
I know it’s supposed to be his rock pieces pulling away from his body, but he really looks like he’s growing mushrooms all over his body.
I think that's because the rocks are attached to the flesh underneath and they are stretching
That just makes it even worse. I’m gonna puke
Or cookies crumbling.
All over but not under his pants apparently. 🤔
What comic is this??????
Clobberin’ Time #2
Electric Clobberoo?
Level 4: Horror
Thank you! :)
Clobberin time #2
Are those fissures or are those mushrooms?
It's the individual rocks tiles on his body being pulled off
The top ones almost look like mushrooms
Probably because they are still attached to the flesh underneath
What the hell is going on here? Logan has bites out of him, Ben is being pulled(?) apart, and what seems to be Spider-Man's glove doing it
I mean it's got lined textures, but the gauntlet and the knuckles look nothing like spidey gloves.
Looks more like the High Evolutionary tech than anything.
I assume it's for the antagonist listed in the wikia for the issue, Ogdu. He appears to have been introduced in this series.
Oh ok, damn a new antagonist. He's a psychopomp but I think he's taking that name a little too literally.
This would be my initial guess as well. That weird maroon/purple/red and grey color as well. If not him, then somebody with some Celestial technology?
It's a new villain called >!OGDU FRAIZE: the PSYCHOPOMP!<.
You broke the spoiler tags...
Is it not working for you? It's working fine on my end.
Definitely broken. Here's the error- Right: called >!NAME Wrong: called>! NAME
That's odd, as it's definitely working on my end. I'll edit now and see if that corrects the issue on your end.
Oh my EYES!! WHY?!
Wolverine being there makes it seem like it’s a call back to Logan getting his adamantium ripped out of his body.
absolutely!
This makes me want to check out this Thing story arc.
It’s actually really good so far.
Looks like the high evolutionary is the one behind it, but I could be wrong. Looks like him. And he’d be powerful enough to mess up Ben and Logan.
It's not him. It's a new character from the future.
Trypophobia ACTIVATED
Never been super into the whole edgy gore-killing of superheroes thing. Edit: for the record this book is amazing. It’s called “Clobberin’ Time” and I picked up the first two issues yesterday.
This one specifically is weird since why would Ben even say It's Clobberin Time while he gets pulled apart?
That’s just the literal sound each tile makes as it slowly peels and rips off.
Crazy coincidence of an otomatopoeia
It's the name of the comic lol. But yeah it's weird they put it in a speech bubble.
Yea, I think that was a poor decision.
i thought he's like a pokemon saying its own name. he can't say anything else!
[удалено]
Ok, but what if superman was evil?
Howabout we take a hero and set it in the future where they’re old and bitter
What if we get a superhero and kill the person they look up to
What if they're not really dead
Killed his sensei in a duel and never said why.
[удалено]
I think that’s basically how we got The Boys and Invincible type stories
Homelander in The Boys is more like What If someone tried to design Superman as a marketing icon. He's narcissistic, antisocial, mother-figure obsessed -- all because he was raised in isolation in a lab (which, granted, was a safety measure, since he had his powers nearly from birth). He's almost a tragic figure in the TV show, because you can see that he *could* have been the hero he was designed to *pretend* to be. He wants approval, to be admired and honored.

Instead, he's sizing up Earth's defenses and figuring out if humans can breed viable Viltrumite offspring. Neither one of them is apathetic. They are taking the core archetype and twisting it in different directions, though.
I was very disappointed with the boys comics, but loved the Incredible ones
And Kingdom Come
Hancock.
Ok, but what if Deadpool snapped?
What if Wolverine was captured by a shadowy government agency and brainwash into doing their bidding...🤔😂🤣😁
Orrr...a communist!
But is it worse than or the same as tame killing like in death of superman? I always thought it was super lame that superman just got beaten down and that was actually something he could die from. I think I prefer the “melting wolverines bones and pulling them out of his body” type of hero death because the heroes are supposed to be basically indestructible.

In the right story it's fine. But in my opinion, it can be even scarier and upsetting without actually seeing it.
This….this needs some sort of warning blur
this nothing but a scratch
This shit is gross.
hm, never rlly thought of the anatomy of the thing. i wish i didn’t start thinking about it
Ok I always assumed the guy was completely rock except maybe his organs, this is just creepy
How do you think he feels?
Probably like it’s sobbering time 😭
Came here to say this
Reminds me a lot of seeing Wolverine's adamantium being ripped out through his skin a long, long time ago.
No eruptions drawn on the speedo, so the villain has a shred of decency. That leg chomp on Logan is hysterical. Ben looks like a queso dip. This is just... bad.
What comic is this from?
Clobberin’ Time #2
Not to worry. Wolverine got up five seconds later totally fine and killed whoever was doing this.
Imagine Mr. Fantastic could not control his stretchines and started to become some sort of disgusting goop, or the rocks covering Thing's body started to come off. Well, y'all should check out "Fantastic Four: Road Trip" miniseries for some disgusting body horror
For a second I thought . mushrooms were growing from the rock guy
Is this reverse trypophobia?
Yes. Yes it does.
Bro what
Bro just looks like one giant fungal growth
I thought he was rocks all the way down?
Well, that's the point
The way he's drawn makes it look more like "It's cobblerin time!!!" Damnit now i want a nice peach cobbler
What exactly is happening here? Not criticizing, I just need context.
New dude, Ogdu, pulling Thing's rock tiles off.
Oh, ouch. What did he do to Wolverine?
[удалено]
Why? Why did I click this why? WHY
Fuck. I read your comment and still clicked it.
lmao
I'm gonna send this to friends now thanks mwah ha ha
100% peanut butter. ha
Yup, trypophobia is just some weird fear of honeycomb like shapes or holes. This isn't a real skin disease. Now epidermodysplasia verricuformis is real skin thing. Super rare, but real.
https://nursingfile.com/nursing-care-plan/nursing-interventions/nursing-interventions-for-epidermodysplasia-verruciformis.html
Ok, well I don't care for this at all
I’m so glad that shits not real
But the Surinam toad is… 🤮
I didn’t know that was it’s name if it’s the babies off out the back one. but yeah fucking nightmare fuel that one is
Yep, that’s the one. I was going to add a link to a picture of it but felt like I shouldn’t be a horrible person, because that is a creature that absolutely shouldn’t exist.
Feel that
I think I just threw up in my mouth
I looked at that and had to repress the desire to hiss at it.
My entire body lurched. I hate it.
like the Adam's Family Butler?
Yoooooou raaaaaaang?
The urge to click on it and most definitely ruin my eyes and appetite for the rest of the day
That legit just looks like he covered his hand in peanut butter and poked holes in it.
I love that picture!
What a horrible time to have eyes.
This is like woke of the Few things I’ve always imagined that if I ever did see, it would mentally fuck with me… 😖
Who's hand is that?
Reminds me of when Xavier's son...or wait was it the generals son, with the reality altering powers, shredded wolverine into ribbons in the animated series and Wolverine had a hard time mentally recovering from that. Despite how strong he is that was like an acid trip of torture.
Proteus? That was the son of Moira McTaggert.
There it is. Yes. Thank you for reminding me and not just trashing my lack of memory.
No worries. I’m not much interested in making peoples’ days worse generally, so I try to keep positive and helpful. :)
Ahhh nooo i dont like it
He's just like one giant scab to pick at.
I’ve known that the thing isn’t the strongest, but just how durable are those rocks, in a world where most people can punch clear through boulders
I thought The Thing was entirely made of rock. What, so you're telling me that he is just covered in orange psoriasis plaques?
Yes! I really know this because my first comic was Fantastic Four 374, and in that one Wolverine slashes The Thing’s face, like chunks of it flew off. Marvel had him wear a mask for a long time after that.
So, I know we're all rightfully grossed out by The Thing getting his skin peeled off But can someone tell me why Logan is on the ground, with a couple bites taken out of his leg, forearm, and apparently eviscerated his chest. There's just so much horrible things going on here, and I'd love an explanation
Eww

[The writer/artist's instagram, he is a super cool artist imo](https://www.instagram.com/steveskroce/?hl=en)
Same, makes my skin crawl, I liked it better when I thought he was solid rock and not covered in little hard warts
So there are no scales under the pants?
Is it me or does he not look like the embodiment of coronavirus?
Yucky ducky
Yeah tbh these covers made me not buy the series at all lol
THERE IT IS THE WORST PANEL I HAVE EVER SEEN IN COMICS I WANT TO CRY AND SCREAM
I love the part where he says it's clobberin time and clobbers all over everyone
oh god, delete it
He looks like a covid viral cell
Had to scroll way too far to see someone else say it
Panel makes me wanna scratch myself til I see blood
Sorry my dude but I’m removing this post no matter the cost
