BURN AT THE TOUCH OF THE HARROWER!

Critically acclaimed writer Steve Orlando (Martian Manhunter, Batman, Wonder Woman) makes his Marvel debut with a blockbuster celebration of MAN-THING’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY! 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! We wake 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? Introducing a sensational new villain, THE HARROWER!

Here's what Carmen Carnero had to say about designing the Harrower:

“Once I received the basic concepts the team was working with, I had in my head the idea that Harrower had to be albino because free animals that are albino are rare to see in nature. I added some vegetation and organic designs to the suit which I decided to make white to represent the 'absence of color' so visually there was a strong contrast with all the characters and the intricacies of the story."

Here's a look at the first issue's variant cover by Joshua Cassara:
