We're back! This week we're covering Thor v2 #30! It's the return (again??) of Malekith, his pixie friends, Beta Ray Bill (aka Bill-ric of Melnibone), some forced cross-over nonsense, and some great art by Andy Kubert! Nuff said!
This week we cover Thor V2 #29! Jurgens, Kubert & Co present Thor vs The Wrecking Crew, with the life of Hogun the Grim in the balance! Plus, Jagrfelm has a bit of elf trouble, as Malekith the Accused takes "raiding the ice box" to a whole new level ;)
Hey, we're here this week too! In between episodes of me packing for my upcoming move, we're looking at Thor v.2 #28, in which our hero and the Warriors Three do some New York City sight-seeing, Sif does some ruling, the Wrecker and his Wrecking Crew hang around in a cheap motel... in costume... and someone offers to "polish Thor's helmet"...if you know what I mean... Don't miss it!
It's Epsiode 282 Redux, as we recover from the Great HD Crash of '17! In this episode we cover The Mighty Thor (v.2) #27, as Jurgens, Larsen, and Janson give us the second half of the Absorbing Man story! It's a slug fest in a crumbling tenement with Jane Foster and Titania's lives in the balance!
It's a computer problems special! Part 5 of this compilation includes "The Lay of Vafthrudnir" from Ep. 126, "Thor's Journey To Utgard" from Ep. 99, and "The Lay of Hymir" from Ep. 207! There are feats of strength! Lame Goats! Dead giants! Odin dickery! Thor going on a fishing trip! Good stuff, y'all!
This week we're back to the start of the millennium with Thor v2 #26! The Absorbing Man is back! And he needs a doctor! Sif has *really* long fingers, Odin falls alseep again, Keith Kinkaid comes back long enough to be smacked in the face with a ball & chain! RFA! It's what the doctor ordered!
This week we finish the first story arc of the current Mighty Thor series with issue #5! It's Thor vs. Odin, mostly in the background with a lot of other stuff going on! Malekith gets married! Freyja gets stabbed! The Warriors Three get ignored! Nuff said, True Believers!
It's a mythology show this week, as we cover two tales from Neil Gaiman's adaptation of the Norse Myths, "Mimir's Head and Odin's Eye" and "The Treasures of the Gods" - We've heard the tales before, but not quite like this, so check em out!
This week it's Mighty Thor #4, wherein you may find - Malekith wooing Queen Elsa...er....Aelsa, Girl Thor busting Odin in the face! The trial of Freya! A cameo by the Warriors Three! Some fantastic Dauterman art! And more!
This week we look at Mighty Thor #3! Girl Thor faces off against Lady Loki in the general vicinity of a building with a very female shape! Freyja faces trial! Alfheim gets bombed! The crowd of Lokis goes wild! Co-starring Tom Hiddleston as Loki McPubeface. Nuff said!
This week, it's Mighty Thor #2, courtesy of Aaron and Dauterman! Thor defends Alfheim from Roxxon and Malekith's evil army, while Heimdal gets thrown in jail, Loki tries to prove himself to King Laufey, despite his face pubes! Plus I have a few basic thoughts on Wonder Woman (no spoilers)! Nuff said!
OK, how about something a little more recent? This week we look at Mighty Thor #1 (2016) - Yes, it's the continuation of Jane Foster's adventures as she goes up against a falling satellite, everyone sings "It's Raining Elves!", the Avengers show up and then leave, and Loki gets face pubes! Fluff said!
This week we wrap up the first half of Hercules Unbound with issue #6! It's the final (for now!) face-off between Hercules and Ares! This issue features a dead bird, a dead dog, some seriously speedy horses, and a complete lack of knowledge of English geography! Dare you miss this???
This week we have the conclusion of our Hunter Blood story in Hercules Unbound #5! This story involves a cockney gorilla taking Hercules to see a movie while Big Ben is on the verge of collapsing outside! Plus one of our party gets squished! (sorry, it wasn't the writer...)
We're back! Just in time for a trip to merrie olde England in Hercules Unbound #4! There are cat people! Giant bells! Chateau Briand '63! Not to mention the most annoyingly voiced villain since Gorr the God Butcher!
This week we look at Hercules Unbound #3! In this issue, we go through a hole in the ground next to the Eiffel Tower to visit Pluto/Hades in Hell/Hades! We are joined by the usual gang, plus a lyre-player with a groovy headband! Don't miss the first appearance of Gorr the God Butcher's dark servants, an "accidental" killing, and several other silly coincidences. It's Hercul-riffic! (plus, my con report of C2E2!)
This week we start our coverage of Neil Gaiman's "Norse Mythology"! We talk about the origins of the universe, and hear a bit about the cosmology of the nine worlds! There's a giant, a cow, water logged trees, and a little surprise! Don't miss it!
We continue our coverage this week of Hercules Unbound with issue #2! Hercules and Kevin face off against Cerebus! No, not the aardvark. The less interesting character with the blue dogs. This issue contains cruelty to animals, a bad British stereotype, Hercules mixing up his mythologies, and more! Don't miss it!
This week, we move on to something new (for us, anyway) as we cover the first issue of the old DC Comics series, "Hercules Unbound"! It's Hercules vs. a variety of antagonists, including Magenta Hulk, weird octopuses, the lackeys of Ares: God of War! Plus, we learn how to survive a nuclear war!
This week we look at a fun one & done issue of Journey Into Mystery! This story features Thor nudity, tree murder, two big dogs, two small dwarves, the Warriors Three, headliner Sif in a much reduced role, but you get to see Volstagg in a pink fuzzy onsie! Face front, effendi!
This week we wrap up the first Sif story arc in Journey Into Mystery with issue #650! See the Berserkers run...erm...berserk.. in Asgardia and Broxton! Facepaint causes some chaos, Heimdall ends up not being headless, and somehow it ends with a snowball fight... Nuff said!
Happy Spring! Please join us this week for our latest compilation of Norse lore from prior episodes! This time around we have "The Lay of Grimnir", "The Necklace of the Brisings", and "The Lay of Thrym"!
This week we continue our look at Sif's run in Journey Into Mystery with issue #649. This issue features a bevy of random Avengers cameos, and a whole passel o' Spider-Mans (Spiders-Men?), not to mention a few Asgardians! Nuff said!
This week we cover the adventures of the mighty Sif and her companions, Fauxhawk, Man-Bun, and Facepaint, in Journey Into Mystery #648! There's blood of many colors, a giant robot thingy, and together Sif & Co. somehow break the berserker dimension! Face front, true believers!
This week we cover Journey Into Mystery #647, featuring Sif! As she comes to embrace her inner berserker, Sif ends up getting a time-out from Heimdall and transported to another world, featuring 3 weird looking dudes and a giant orange alien thing! If that doesn't grab you, nothing will!
This week we vault into a new series, as we start covering Journey Into Mystery with issue #646! Here's the scoop. Sif wants to be a better warrior, so she seeks out the one who can teach her how to be more of an asshole. On the way she belittles a little girl and talks with a stupid dragon! This will go well...
This is it. The end of everything. Ragnarok. Would I lie to you? (hehe)
This week we finish our "Loki steals the Odin Ring" story arc with The Mighty Thor #194! It's a battle royale, as Thor and Loki duke it out as Sif whines, Balder and Karnilla agonize what to do, and worst of all, the Warriors Three wake up Odin! Don't miss it!
It's an extra-long show to cover an extra-long issue, The Mighty Thor #193! Gerry Conway makes his debut on the book, featuring Stan Lee's leftovers, and co-starring... the Silver Surfer! Why? Well, because Stan said so! Nuff said!
This week we have a look at Stan Lee's final regular issue of The Mighty Thor, issue #192! It's Thor vs. Durok! At Mardi Gras! In a sterotypical South American dictatorship! Plus, Balder and Karnilla go to Mount Everest! Odin sleeps, and Durok gets a manicure between issues! We also have a look at what else was going on in comic-land that month! Nuff said!
