Review/plot:
We continue to see evidence that there's a wish-fulfillment thing going on during the Thing's adventures on Battleplanet in this cute issue where the Thing encounters a space alien version of the Yancy Street Gang.

Meanwhile, the Thing is starting to have feelings for Tarianna. Considering he seemed to know in issue #13 that she was a figment of his imagination, that seems a little odd.

The best part of this story, though, is the continued efforts of the thieves called the Takers to find the dowry that they took from the girl Llrrllllnnllyyrrl.
