Meanwhile, Annie discovers that lying dogs don't always stay put when she has to stand trial for murder! And in a classic Harold Gray tale, the little redhead finds respite on a seemingly bucolic farm run by a young woman and her grandfather—but all is not what it seems.

Have you already read it in floppies? Is it worth it? I love Norse mythology so I was tempted by this book...

Totally worth it.

Best/Walter

Hi Walter!

It will make a great Christmas gift......for myself!!!

[The Whovian]

Have you already read it in floppies? Is it worth it? I love Norse mythology so I was tempted by this book...

Just want to preface this by saying I absolutely love Simonson. His Thor run is THE best Thor run ever IMO. And I'm a Thor fan. So I knew going into this that Simonson knew his Norse mythos and this book would be amazing. I read the first issue and stopped because I knew at that point that my initial thought was correct and I was going to love this book too and wanted to wait and get the HC and read all the issues at once.

So to answer your question, yes it's going to absolutely be worth it.

[The Whovian]

Totally worth it.

Hey Uncle Walt!! Good to see you're posting here.

Outside of Ragnarok, do you have any plans on doing anything else, writing or art?

I think Ragnarök is going to keep my schedule pretty well filled for the foreseeable future. If I could learn the trick of splitting myself into halves or thirds, that would help. As it is, I'm stuck.

Looks like the TMNT IDW Collection vol.1 is almost OOP. Amazon and CGN are out of stock. Just ordered one from IST.

[John Aston]

Amazon sent me an email regarding the cancellation of my Collected Torpedo order due to "lack of availability."

Crud.

I assume it will be reprinted as necessary like the Transformers ones.

[Fuller]

I ordered Locke & Key Master Edition... I still think it is way overpriced, but you know, better than nothing.
