Thor #1; writer: J. Michael Straczynski; pencils: Olivier Coipel; inks: Mark Morales; colours: Laura Martin
Feels like watching bad Shakespeare at times when listening to the Norse god speak in a tongue outside of his weather region. As if licking too long on the rocks at the bottom of that mug of mead, in moderation.
Not a clone! Not a robot! Not an imaginary story! The God of Thunder is officially BACK! You've waited for it, you've demanded it... and we say thee YEA!
The Odinson comes roaring to life in this highly anticipated ongoing series by red-hot superstars J. Michael Straczynski (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) and Olivier Coipel (HOUSE OF M)! But how does a god return from Ragnarok? And what place will he find in a world torn by CIVIL WAR?
Thor #1 from Marvel Comics
Two hands on the cups with
Lady Death Sacrilege from Brian Pulido and Daniel HDR. Up against the church looking to expand like those little squares in Sim City that turn nothing back over in city taxes.
Stuart Moore and Tyler Kirkham swing the arms of the four door cars and the crew with a breakout on their hands in
New Avengers/Transformers. What a team up... really? War breakouts out in masses of zits on a first date.
Sounds a bit different with Fred Van Lente and Gurihiru heading four periods in school with
Fantastic Four and Power Pack. Bullies? Bullies? Well, bully to you. Kids at play it seems.
Six of the unknown and shady are what comes from Mike Carey and Jock on
Faker. There, not there, like listening to the other end of a phone go into a waterfall.
Tony Bedard, Paulo Sequeira and Amilton Santos and
Black Canary make four. And how about that with a keyboard where the letters keep transposing themselves? Not easy. The League of Assassins are picking up on Sin, but it's not going to be all nice and knifey.
Jeph Loeb and John Cassaday finally place the lid of the coffin closed in
Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America - Iron Man. Boy scout of the flag takes it away and the man pretty much responsible faces the facts with the rest of the Marvel Universe.
