Thor Appreciation 2024.

[Ken Ashcroft]

Really not feeling this Loki design.

"I am the Loki that will kill you" - Yeah, just not getting that vibe.

Why is Loki so often described as being Thor’s half-brother? There’s no actual blood connection is there? Of has this been retconned and it appears Odin was spreading the love more than we thought?

As far as I know, no.

[Doombot]

Does BR Bill have his own special weapon again?
Is Mjolnir fully Thor's, now? No tugging away to other folks, no arbitrary heaviness/can't-lift antics? Is that completely done?

Was Donald Blake ever cited in any professional medical journals in academia? Any procedures or research that he became known for?

Lol, it's never done. No one at Marvel knows how to do anything else but take Thor's powers, weapons and name away from him, rinse and repeat. There are no other stories!

Man what dirt does Greg Land have on Marvel editors

[Factor]

Greg Land kills any excitement I could have had.

[Username taken]

Greg Land is still at Marvel?

Interesting.

He's pretty up there in age (I believe he's near 70?), good on him for still getting work. Although, I'm not really a fan of his recent work.

It's been several years since I looked and paid attention to Thor comics, why are there two Lokis in the image?

Are there two different Lokis these days?

[Mantis-Ray]

Hopefully Land only draws the ****ty Thor

Which that would be funny cause of how perfectly fitting to have a ****ty cheap artist drawing the cheap corporate swill

it must be, right!?

I mean the whole book seems so meta, I can imagine Ewing taking the piss.

[mugiwara]

Seems like Ewing is going back at his meta critic of how Marvel and Marvel readers hate change and always want to go back to how things were when they started reading comics.
I'm definitely on his side here, but the fact he'll likely be using Jane to make his point will let a bad taste in my mouth. Aaron really soured me on the character with his lack of subtility.
It would be great if, instead of using Jane as a counterpoint to "Valkyrie of old", he re-introduced Dani Moonstar in the asgardian mythos. It's not like the X-office has big plans for her besides being a glorified babysitter.

Also I wish Ewing did that kind of story during his time with the X-books, instead of wanking one of the Not New Not Different X-Men while sidelining other characters like Sunspot, Armor, Nova or Wiz Kid.

[Mantis-Ray]

Huh I'm now thinking the appearance of Brunnhilde and Heimdall on Roxxon's side is a critique of bringing back dead/heavily changed characters and watering them down in the process to keep using them/keeping them as they originally are.

There's two Thors there as well. "Roxxon Presents Thor" is probably an issue showing us what the Thor comics look like in-universe under Roxxon ownership.

[Mantis-Ray]

Okay so it is a separate series as apart of an upcoming story-event, so that means the normal book should still have the good artist.

Also Chad Hammer and that dig against centrism, ha!
