 Thing: Night Falls On Yancy Street #4 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Now considering the Absorbing Man is a regular opponent of Thor and the Hulk, the Thing is a bit outclassed in this fight, and this issue's big brawl certainly does a pretty fair job of backing up this assessment, as Ben spends the better part of the battle getting his head handed to him.
I mean the Absorbing Man is in fine form in this issue, as his power is put to good use and the art does a nice job of delivering his various states, with the highlight of the issue coming when he absorbs Ben's rocky hide.
Now I will concede that the Absorbing Man's murder of the Trapster and the Wizard did add a greater sense of urgency to the battle, but this is somewhat tempered by the knowledge that whatever happens within these pages won't extend beyond this final issue.

 Incredible Hulk #59 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
As Banner arrives at the secret compound where the Absorbing Man's body is being held, we see Creel is able to secure Banner's help in breaking into this facility, and bringing down the energy field that surrounds his body.
The big solution to the Absorbing Man's defeat is also downright silly, especially in light of the fact that throughout this arc Bruce Jones has been trying to sell Creel as a seemingly intelligent villain.
There's also some strange moments in the book, like the Absorbing Man acting like he was well aware of Banner being able to access the Hulk's strength, or the super secure energy field having such a glaring weak spot in its design.
