By J. Caleb Mozzocco “It‘s a physics question…If she‘s falling, say, 100 metres, how fast is she going?”: Here’s a nice Chronicle Journal feature profiling comics fan and physics teacher James Kakalio, author of The Physics of Superheroes.

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.

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...

By noreply@blogger.com (Caleb) Avengers: The Initiative #22 (Marvel Comics) So they’re going to try calling the Thor clone from Civil War “Ragnarok” rather than “Clor?” And they really think that will stick? It’ll never happen; Clor’s got, like, a three-year head start at this point.

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 Travis There’s a slight disconnect at the very beginning, as the first panels show a fully-engaged Skrull party against an Asgardian force, but the final panel shows the main Asgardian host standing grimly, awaiting a call to battle.

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]
