Thor

By Lan Pitts “Despite the absence of any Marvel Studios feature film releases in 2009, Marvel continued to deliver solid operating performance across all our operating segments,” Marvel chairman Morton Handel said. “Anticipation for the high profile “Iron Man 2″ feature film continues to build,...

By Michael C. Lorah Marvel Masterworks: Fantastic Four vol. 3 Written & Illustrated by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby Published by Marvel Comics Man, I really appreciate that Marvel’s putting these old classic Marvel titles in affordable, quality editions. I appreciate why people like getting a giant chunk o...

By Lan Pitts Great Odin’s raven! Reports are coming in all over from Worst Previews to MTV concerning Academy Award winner Sir Anthony Hopkins will be portraying Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki’s (Tom Hiddleson) father, Odin, in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor adaptation.

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 G-Man It seems weird how the comic book/superhero movies attract the strangest casting rumors.  Just yesterday I posted on Jackie Earle Haley possibly playing Sinestro .  Another rumor that's been flying around this weekend (also coming from AICN ) puts Rober DeNiro and Jude Law up for some rol...

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 Greg Burgas Marvel, 15 issues (#-1, 454-467 of "volume 1"; the -1 issue comes after #454), cover dated June 1997-August 1998. I've read some of Bruce Jones' Hulk arc, but I've stopped reading the Hulk since then. I only restarted reading Hulk during Planet Hulk and it seems that she's still dead.

By Travis If the Kirby estate succeeds, and they do not reach a proper settlement with Marvel, all of those characters could go away. What would happen to continuity then, all you continuity fans? Could Marvel even be allowed to show the Thing in a flashback? Or would they have to do a white-wash of all...

By Graeme McMillan So now we know at least six characters who'll be appearing in the movie: Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Nick Fury and Black Widow. Given that Iron Man 2 is also introducing well-known Avengers character Hawkeye, it's a fair bet to assume he'll be a seventh... and we have a line-up that sh...

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...

Creator spotlight week brings us to the works of J. Michael Straczynski! The guys discuss the early TV work on cartoons like Masters of the Universe and The Real Ghostbusters, his career-making turn on Babylon 5, and his journey through comics beginning with Rising Stars and Midnight Nat...

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 Travis I know that tons of fans could care less about any numbering. Just as many others will see it as a mindless stunt, an attempt to artificially inflate the sales numbers. For the rest of us, it seems only fair for DC to treat Wonder Woman at least as fair as it is already doing for Adventure Comics! W...

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 time for another creator spotlight, and this week the Showcase boys are turning their attention to legendary writer/artist Walter Simonson. From his early work on Star Slammers to defining runs on Thor and Fantastic Four, up through great work with Orion and his current work at Wild...

 - Alex Ross, Jim Krueger, Steve Sadowski Also, there is not much reminiscent of the Cabal in this story, which makes the reader ask: what's the point? finally, a Loki story that has him/her approaching Doom about hosting the Asgardians. It's basically a preface to Thor #601, ...

 CA It also helps wash the bad taste of that horrendous Wikipedia joke from last week's issue Thor. Bendis is also taking an interesting stance of Osborn. He's clearly as evil as he ever was, yet Bendis also seems intent on humanizing him ever so slightly. ...

 CA The God of Thunder is in a pretty rotten place following the devastating events of Thor #600. Banished from Asgard and helpless to watch Loki and Balder relocate his fellow gods to Latveria, of all places, Thor is currently at a crossroads, ...

 CA Not quite yet, but with Thor, Brian Wood's Northlanders, and now Ivan Brandon's Viking, comic readers are not left wanting for bloody tales of Norse warriors and the wenches who love them. Unlike the crowded zombie market, these books manage to ...

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 josh@ifanboy.com One of the oldest tools to evoke realism in comics is to introduce "comics logic" into the real world, and have the characters react accordingly. Thor, I feel, is taking the opposite tact, by introducing "real world logic" to the Marvel Universe's grand and fantastic landscape.

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]

By John Scott Lewinski Most of the action around heroic Hollywood is coming from Marvel. With a Thor movie flying in for 2010, Brad Pitt is still rumored to play his human alter ego, Donald Blake. 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...
