‘Fear Itself’ #5 Marvel says is a brawl

Walt

A Fear Itself #5 teaser has been released by Marvel Comics. Following on the heals of the release of Fear Itself #4, the images promise an all-out brawl in next month’s issue. The teaser shows close-ups of Thor, the Hulk and the Thing – the latter two having fallen under the power of the Serpent and transformed into his hammer-wielding ‘Worthy’.  And while the brawl rages, the Serpent’s forces deal Captain America a blow not even he can withstand. A second teaser hints at the ongoing events in Fear Itself:…

Thor Movie Review Marvel

Walt

I just reviewed the movie Thor and was impressed with the story and technical content. I watched in 3D while I always have problems getting the 3D glasses just right because of my prescription glasses the picture was sharp and very well done, quality 3D effects. The movie had a lot to say and the 2 hours was used well. Asgard was done beautifully, truly a place of the Gods.  [Spoilers Ahead] The relationship between Jane Foster and Thor was very touching. It began with Thor as an arrogant castaway…

More details about Marvel’s Thor emerged at Comic-Con International with the unveiling of the Infinity Gauntlet, the glove crafted in the comics by Thanos to harness the power of the Infinity Gems. Just how the Gauntlet and the sentient Gems — and, perhaps, the Mad Titan himself — fit into the film remains to be seen. Created by Jim Starlin, Thanos is a Death-obsessed Eternal bent on genocide and galactic conquest.

Thor #9 Review

Walt

J. Michael Straczynski has written a masterful recreation of Asgard with Thor, Balder, Loki and all the wonderful characters from Marvel Norse Mythology.

The Norse Gods should be bigger than life in story and visual art and I really enjoy the direction Straczynski is going with the surprises of a female Loki and the return of Doctor Blake. Plus he includes a story about the fate of his father Odin. A good…
