Parental Advisory
The Hordeculture are in disagreement with Harriet s experiment of completely removing humanity from Earth s ecosystem, rather than keeping it at manageable size as the Hordeculture intended to keeping it this way. If the preview for Avengers Curse of the Man-Thing is anything indication, the group known as Hordeculture will be featured throughout this crossover.

Reviews for "The Curse of the Man Thing: Tales of Terror and Tragedy"
1. John - 2 out of 5 stars: I was really disappointed with "Curse of the Man-Thing." I was expecting an exciting and thrilling horror story, but instead, I got a convoluted and confusing mess. The plot was all over the place, with too many subplots that didn't add anything to the overall story. The characters were shallow and had no depth, making it impossible for me to care about their fates. Overall, it felt like a wasted opportunity for a potentially great horror comic.
2. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars: I cannot express how much I disliked "Curse of the Man-Thing." The artwork was subpar and lacked any creativity or originality. The story was cliche and predictable, with no surprises or twists to engage the reader. Furthermore, the dialogue was stilted and forced, making it difficult to connect with the characters. The whole reading experience felt like a chore, and I would not recommend this comic to anyone.
3. Mark - 2 out of 5 stars: As a fan of the original Man-Thing comics, "Curse of the Man-Thing" was a major letdown. The storyline seemed to ignore the rich history and mythology of the character, opting for a generic and uninspiring plot. The artwork was average at best, lacking the atmospheric and eerie vibe that made the original Man-Thing comics so memorable. Overall, this felt like a cheap cash-grab, failing to capture the essence of what made Man-Thing an intriguing character in the first place.
4. Emily - 2.5 out of 5 stars: "Curse of the Man-Thing" had some interesting moments, but ultimately, it failed to leave a lasting impression. The pacing felt off, with some parts dragging on while others were rushed. The dialogues were weak, lacking depth and authenticity. The story had potential, but it lacked the fleshing out and development needed to truly engage the reader. It's a shame because I had high hopes for this comic, but it fell short of my expectations.
