Publisher’s description

The rise of Mud-Thing! After Spider-Man tosses Sandman and Hydro-man off the docks, the two villains merge into one horrific sand-mud monstrosity. Will New York ever be safe from the wrath of Mud-Thing? Sadie Frickett takes it to court to defend the men she loves, but ends up promoting Mud-Thing in their own Broadway revue! Think that’s the strangest thing to happen in this issue? Think again!
