Thor

By dailypop Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige has a lot to say about how this can be done by viewing the ‘magic’ of Thor as another form of science, kinda like ’super science:’ “We’re not doing the blow-the-dust-off-of-the-old-Norse-book-in-your-library Thor,” says Feige. “And in the Thor of the Marvel...

From the tone of the storylines, to the stunning new artistic look, The Heroic Age ushers in a dramatic new vision of the Marvel Universe. Marvel's most elite characters will be at the center of The Heroic Age, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers and...

By dailypop New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Dark Avengers and Avengers: Initiative will all be seeing their last issues shortly. This too may sound like a gimmick, but it all makes sense to me. Each series has shed a different light on the idea of what the Avengers are over the years and it makes sense that...

By dailypop We all know who the mighty Thor, God of Thunder is, but who is the strange mystical hammer-wielding creature named Beta Ray Bill? When his race of Korbinites faced extinction, Bill was their only hope. Enhanced by alien technology into a cybernetic astronaut, Bill was charged with the tas...

By dailypop But the possibility of a Beta Ray Bill film comes straight out of nowhere! For a character that gets hardly any love in comics to be thrust into the focus of a cartoon movie is downright astounding. An alien possessing a similar hammer to Mjolnir, Bill has fluttered about in Marvel Comics f...

By Travis Seven years in the making! A massive event to end all of the meta-events! Allegedly. And we start with a re-run. That’s right, the way Civil War started is the exact way Osborn and Loki arrange Siege to start. They maneuver Volstagg into a football stadium and force him into a blocking move that...

By Graeme McMillan With the assistance of Thor, the Black Widow, long-time Iron Man companions Pepper Potts (Now in possession of her own Iron Man armor) and James Rhodes (AKA War Machine) and a returned Captain America, Tony Stark was "rebooted" from a backed-up version of his own brain, and reborn as Iron...

By metalhellspawn@aol.com (Andrenn) Who to write Marvel Man? Stan Lee has written some stuff today, I’ve read some of it and you know what? It wasn’t good at all. Does that make Stan Lee, the father of Marvel comics, a hack? Not at all. He’s still just as much a legend no matter what. Fraction on Thor

By David Pepose Could Matt Fraction be lifting Mjolnir next, as an upcoming writer for Thor? Or am I just reading too deeply into this article? For those of you who aren’t sure what I’m talking about, take a look at this interview over at ICv2, with Marvel Publisher Dan Buckley. He talks about the company’s p...

Fraction is really turning in the definitive deconstruction of Tony Stark's character, now if only Cap and Thor can put Iron Man back together again.

But the Marvel Entertainment pictures -- the Avengers characters including Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor -- which are essentially the most exciting ...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jim) Synopsis: "Thorcules versus Hercuthor" features a twist on the epic Thor versus Hercules battles of the past. Hercules is impersonating Thor. He has joined the Queen of the Dark Elves(she believes he is actually Thor). She is ready to invade Asgard. Hercules is accompanied by what appears t...

By dailypop The Internet is all abuzz about the latest casting announcement for the upcoming Mighty Thor film directed by Kenneth Branagh. Robert DeNiro and Jude Law appear to be joining the cast that ids already rather ample to begin with. So far, this is what we have: Chris Hemsworth as Thor/Dr. Don Bla...

By Travis Thor 603 Sif is safe (say that three times fast), and now Thor has to find a place for her to live on Earth. It results in a little humorous situation, and it is telling that Straczynski is able to weave a tale that focuses on god-like beings, but can still give us some good laughs at the same time.

By dailypop If Ragnarok happens, but no one is there… His previous monthly series had reached a breathtakingly defining moment that hardly anyone actually read. Ragnarok remains one of the biggest comics out there that no one knows exists. Marvel tried to rectify this by collecting the Avengers Disa...

By dailypop Once a poor-man’s Thor, Hercules is now a very popular and successful superhero in the Marvel Universe. In the month’s to come, it looks like he will again tangle with the mighty Thor… but judging from the image below not in the way that any could anticipate.

By Meredith Woerner After the amazing Iron Man 2 footage, we got a few moments with Producer Kevin Feige, who talked told us who's in the movie version of Marvel's superteam, the Avengers, plus potential Captain Americas squaring off against Tony. Is the Hulk in it?

By dailypop the road to the Avengers is paved and ready With the Marvel Motion Picture Machine churning its way toward the Avengers, I thought it would be a good time to collect the data thus far regarding the hammer-swinging thunder God known as Thor. The Premise Loki: Tim Hiddleston

By noreply@blogger.com (CalvinPitt) This comic has everything I want out of a story starring Beta Ray Bill, except maybe for a little romantic subplot with Sif (I think they're a cute couple), but there's no time for that, even if Sif were around. There are bold pronouncements, massive displays of physical force, imposing ene...

It's been a few weeks now since Marvel's Secret Invasion storyline wrapped up. This week, Blake and Chase pick apart the build-up, the spin-offs, the aftermath, and the event itself. How did we get here? Which spin-offs were worth reading? And where is Dark Reign going to take us? In the pick...

By Brian Cronin After the events of Civil War (heck, DURING Civil War, even), there appeared to pop up a bit of a cottage industry of comic books devoted just to trashing Iron Man, as a good deal of comic book fans had some real issues with Iron Man after Civil War, so Marvel creators seemed to take that intere...

By Travis Thor settles the situation, by killing the Wasp. Allegedly. For all we know, he simply spirited her away to another dimension, which is easily within his power. But let’s wait the mandatory three-to-six months for that. In the meantime, Thor has killed another giant-growing character. What...

By lotrking So far, the Secret Invasion tie-ins have been fairly entertaining, but none of them come close to rivaling what is occurring in the main title. If this first issue is any indication, Secret Invasion: Thor may be the best non-core series to come out yet. It begins with the return of Beta Ray Bil...

By Travis The focus is on Balder this time, but only through the veil of the past, and scenes of Odin. Loki picks up on the bombshell from last issue, claiming Balder is also a son of Odin. The story may move a little slow, but when they give us a magnificent one-page spread of Balder throwing open the thron...

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Loki tells Balder that she welcomes him to their family and their brotherhood. Balder thanks Loki. Loki then asks Thor when will they tell the other Asgardians and celebrate Balder’s heritage and herald the crowing of a new prince of Asgard. Thor agrees and orders the celebrations to begin. We hop back to Asgard where Volstagg is blowing a massive horn and kicking off the celebration. We see Balder watching the celebration from a private balcony. Loki tells Balder that everyone is waiting to see him. Balder replies that he wanted to see Loki first. Balder says that in the past he has always condemned Loki as a liar and a thief. But, Balder is now willing to give Loki the benefit of the doubt. Balder tells Loki to not abuse it.   [read the full post]

But Pitt isn't likely to pull off the role of a hulking Norse god. So, another rumor opens the door for blonde, long-haired...
