This is what Skroce instructed Comic Book once they talked to him, “Legendary editor Tom Breevort reached out to me with the idea of doing a modern version of a Marvel comic that the company hadn’t done in a while, like the old Two-in-One books. High adventure, but contemporary and self-contained. You can’t think about the Thing without Jack Kirby, and John Byrne was the guy doing the Fantastic Four when I was a kid along with writing Ben’s first solo series, and I tried to take the epic, anything can happen feelings that both those eras gave me and put them into CLOBBERIN TIME… Ben and the Hulk, Logan, Doctor Strange, Doctor Doom, and the Silver Surfer will face hordes of prototype DEVIANT monsters, robots, undulating, plasma spewing, flesh lummoxes, wizards, and Tuvah Tu, the banished Watcher and Uatu’s estranged brother. Ben will also have to experience having his rocky hide pulled right off his soft under flesh. We’re introducing a new villain called OGDU FRAIZE: the PSYCHOPOMP. He’s a human from an unseen distant future of the Marvel Universe Earth. The heroes and villains are long gone, humanity lives in massive, domed cities, the lucky ones anyway, others survive in the futuristic wasteland. Savage gangs and blood cults rule and many worship the old superheroes like ancient gods. Ogdu was raised by and survived such a cult, he’ll tell you he’s “probably the most clever man to ever exist” and he has an ax to grind with the heroes who’ve left behind his brutal world of haves and have not.”

Here are a couple of sketches Skroce has been posting to his Instagram… together with telling us “Logan guest stars in CLOBBERIN’TIME 2” And he is not alone.
