When Mark Miller's Ultimates series launched in 2000, it ushered in a whole new retelling of the Avengers' saga. Based on the hammer seen when Thor first appeared in Ultimates #4, this gigantic, full-size replica prop is truly made for a god of thunder! Measuring a massive 42" in overall le...

By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) It’s good to see that Robert has a good grasp on the material.

For countless millennia, over and again has the mighty, thunderous, impetuous, petulant god Thor raged and rebelled against the leadership of his father and lord, the all-powerful Odin. The capricious tantrums of a selfish titan, spoiled by his own power. But…ODIN HAS HAD ENOUGH! And so...

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 pozzyfreak The Story: With the baby safely delivered as promised, Dr. Donald Blake returns to Asgard to find a Super-Skrull on the rampage. Blake soon touches the hammer and the Skrulls quickly find themselves on the defensive as Thor teams with Beta Ray Bill as they fight to restore peace to Asgard.

By Goblin Thor, the Marvel film set for 2010 and to be directed by Kenneth Branagh (as noted here), is currently looking for a blond tussled actor to weld the mighty hammer. In Marvel's search for just such an actor, they have an easier job now that they can scratch off one martini-soaked name.

By Goblin But what are the Avengers without a villain? Kang the Conqueror is fun, but confusing to the mainstream. Loki is great, but will most likely be used in the Thor solo movie. So who can be both powerful enough to fight the Avengers while remaining both interesting and approachable enough to the...

By Brian Cronin It seems like today’s a big day for Marvel Comics film news, no? A play production of Hamlet, not a film. Brannagh has already done Hamlet as a film starring himself anyway, so I imagine the opportunity to direct Thor instead ... I hope that whatever they do in the Thor film, they: a) keep it cosmic

THE AVENGERS: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes is an all-new property featuring some of Marvel’s all-time favorite characters including Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Giant Man and Wasp.  When the planet is threatened by Super Villains, time traveling conquerors, alien invaders, mythical monsters and mad robots bent on the total destruction of humanity, when forces of evil are so overwhelming that no single hero has the power to save the world, when there is no hope left…the Avengers assemble!  The Avengers are the best of the best in the Marvel Universe and the greatest heroes who take on the most unbeatable foes.  These are the heroes who hold back the storm, and the fate of the world rests on their shoulders.   [read the full post]

By Alex Billington I will remain optimistic in the hope that Branagh turns out to be much like Favreau, a fan at heart with the passion to create the perfect superhero film. However, until I'm convinced otherwise, I'm still worried that Thor may be Marvel's first big mistake, even if J. Michael Straczynski thi...

Speaking of The Avengers, it is apparently Marvel’s plan to introduce Iron Man, Cap and Thor in their own movies and then team them all together in a mega-tentpole. Now how cool would that be if Kevin Feige could pull it off? That’s just the kind of entertainment spectacle we’ll need to get us...

So in the current Marvel Comics, all the gods died in Ragnarok and now they're all coming back. And Loki came back as a girl. With no eyebrows. Okay, now that you're up to speed on what's going on, here's my explanation as to why it's not really all that odd.

By Kevin Melrose So let’s add to the mix some speculation about Marvel’s planned Thor movie. Back in May, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said Thor will take place largely in Asgard, mythical home of the Norse gods. When last we heard, Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend, The Cell) was writing the screenplay.

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.

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Odin realizes that if anyone ever discovered this information then Balder would become a target. Therefore, for Balder’s safety, Odin kept Balder’s true heritage a secret. Loki adds why Thor has continued to deny Balder this truth is a mystery. We slide back to Thor and Balder sitting together. Thor confirms Loki’s entire story as the truth. Thor says that he never said anything out of safety for Balder. 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.   [read the full post]

By Alex Billington My only concern initially was that it's another fantasy film [after Stardust], but it's different in the sense that it's a superhero film set in the world of fantasy.

As someone who’s a pretty big fan of the Tony Stark character, I have to say I don’t really have a problem with him cloning Thor to serve his agenda. He and Reed have always demonstrated a cold and almost calculated arrogance. Why shouldn’t they clone a god if it will end the conflict?
