Will The Thing Finally Consummate His Marriage in Fantastic Four #12? [Preview]

The marriage of Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters was an epic event for comics, mostly because it's one of the few advertised marriages recently that actually happened instead of turning out to be a bait-and-switch spoiled in the New York Times. But there's just one problem… how can Ben and Alicia possibly consummate the marriage when Ben has, presumably, an orange, rocky penis? Yes, we did consider that maybe he has no penis at all, but if so, then why would he wear pants? So definitely an orange rocky one. And while that's probably somebody's kink, we're guessing it might be a little unpleasant in most circumstances.

Thankfully, for one day out of the year, Ben gets to revert to his human form. And he's looking forward to spending that day with Alicia in this preview of Fantastic Four #12.

Reed has finally put his science to good use, figuring out exactly when Ben will transform back into a man so that he can consummate the marriage. And Ben is grateful.

So, Ben and Alicia head off on their honeymoon, and the family takes precautions to make sure they aren't interrupted, like on their wedding day, by a world-threatening event.

And with a parting shot at Johnny Storm, the happy couple is off for their first annual day of marital bliss…

Unfortunately, the solicit indicates Ben may spend his day with a different kind of smashing when the Hulk shows up. Well, there's always next year.

Fantastic Four #12 hits stores on Wednesday.
