am thinking that the host of viking heroes and dieties now in Midgard, OK are probably iching for a fight and some action; I would like to see them teamed with some of the townies outside Midgard and have at the skrulls :)
Soon, impatient one. Very soon, you will have your wish, in Secret Invasion: Thor, due out next month.
woot; thanks so much for the info.

Thor also has a bout coming up in Hulk #5? #6? versus the enigmatic Red Hulk. All I know about Red Hulk is that he has taken over Green's title, his identity is unknown, he killed the Abomination with a gun of all things, and he supposedly has crazy reality bending ability which bodes ill for Thor. Let's hope its a draw as usual.
ooh; that sounds like one not to miss.
ooh; that sounds like one not to miss.
Trust me it was an aweful issue, Loeb must have something aganist Thor cause the Red Hulk whipped Thor like he was a 5 year school girl. I can't even begin to tell you how much this "fight" disrespected the fine Thor v. Hulk history.
Spoiler:
Lets just put it this way at the end of the fight Thor's every blow was shrugged off by the Hulk and to add insult to injury the Hulk kicked a beaten and humilated Thor's helmet off his head and left him whinning about one day he will pay for this humilation.
Was worse then the Green Latern sucker punches Batman incident.

Lord Vile is right. Pass on Hulk 5. It doesn't even seem to fit with the continuity of anything. Get Thor: Reign of Blood instead. More mythic asgardian adaptations to the comic and some real cool visuals.

Wow.
I didn't know you could screw up this badly (meaning Marvel, sorry).
Fights between Thor and the Hulk generally involve epic battles that devastate large amounts of acreage. I remember when the two were duking it out in Niflheim and they started turning mountains into rubble . . . and that was far from the first battle between the two.
The mysteries of the Red Hulk at 1st interested me. Now I just see him as a case of "we need something even more powerful than the Green Hulk". How trite.
But Reign of Blood is definitely good stuff.
Sheesh; thanks for the info; that is incredibly boneheaded of the House of M; what the hell; thanks so much for the info; sheesh; that sucks; gonna save my money; red hulk whip Thor my eye; Thor coulda easily just sent him to a random pocket dimension....again.
Not sure I like how Thor is going; like him being an adventurer instead of ruler; hmm...any thoughts?

Different colored Hulks has been common before, but I dunno if there's been more than one Hulk in existance at the same time. This time though it has this gimicky feel to it. Remember the Red/Blue Supermans from the 90's? That bombed. This feels somewhat the same to me. Terrible idea to follow Planet Hulk/World War Hulk with.
Don't pass on Secret Invastion # as Thor brings together the heroes of the MU to battle the Skrulls and the Avengers holy trinity is finally reassembled!!!
thanks much Lord Vile; will check into it; thanks again
I hear you brother; loud and clear.
I hear SI:Thor #2 isn't so hot. I will have to wait and see. BTW, the net Thor is rumored to not come out until nearly December now I think? The delays are becoming unacceptable. Strazynski is a good writer and all but I lament for the old days of ACTUAL mothly titles with less super-star writers.
Newest issue of the hulk with Thor in it is really good and makes up a lot for the previous issue.
I got the idea from that issue that someone suddenly got a clue at the Marvel bullpen. The Red Hulk, while powerful, seemed to suddenly go from galactic-level entity (from pummelling a Watcher to Issue 5 battling Thor) to the original Abomination (tough, but not nearly so bad). Maybe they realized that their only choice was to do that?
Can you say which newest issue you are recommending please?

Hulk #6, Valegrim, is what he's referring to.
I heard that the red hulk was able to lift Thor's Hammer, Is this true?
For a while I thought that maybe this was Steve Rogers/Captain America way of coming back because he could lift the Hammer.

Not exactly, don't recall the sequence of events (story was so bad) but while Rulk was pounding the tar out of Thor they ended out in outer space which meant no gravity and with no gravity the enchanment was neutralized and so rulk was able to pound Thor with his own hammer.
Don't blame me I didn't this sinker!!!
yeah; Balder storyline and Thor being a hum drum ruler and Loki as a chick pulling strings in the background; bit slow, but I like it so far; am enjoying the side stories of boar hunting and the human who is dating the Norse goddess girl.
I read in the Enquirer that Thor was giving up his hammer and replacing it with a halbred. Does this qualify as news on Thor?

not that far from the truth, Ultimate Thor recently lost his hammer to Magneto and from the art I've seen for Ultimatium Thor is wielding a sword now.
I guess Odin's enchanchments aint what they use to be, next Ultron will pick up Thor's hammer cause he isn't a living being so therefor the "worthy" enchantment doesn't apply to him/it.
Happy to say Thor gets a little redemption in Hulk #6 and it looks like Thor's title is getting a jump from issue #13 to #600 on account of his anniversary.

Actually that's an interesting exception. Would he use it to power himself or cast spells?
Just read on the Marvel front page about a new 45 minute animated Hulk v. Thor movie coming in Janurary!
P.S. There is a short trailer.
well, the story is getting so conveluted across all the different writers and series that I cant make any sense of it; the hammer is how Thor does most of his stuff; his control of the earth's magnetic feild is far and beyond that of Magneto; without the hammer he cant do any weather magic; open any portals; no magic at all; this is nuts.

This is one thing that has always bugged me about comic books, is that they make 'unbreakable' rules, and then they break them to establish the badassitude of new character of the day.
Thor's hammer can't be lifted! Except for just about every darn person in the universe that needs to be established as 'worthy' or just 'really, really strong.'
Adamantium is indestructible! Except when Sym is snapping Wolverine's claws off and picking his teeth with them, or the Hulk is really pissed and breaks the adamantium statue of himself that Alicia Masters made for Central Park, or Thor dents Cap's shield and then later hammers out the dent!
The Persuader's Atomic Axe can cut through *anything* even gravity or dimensional barriers, but it bounces off of Kent Shakespeare's face, because, uh, he's not even invulnerable, just 'tough.'
yeah; what Set said; though not only was Thor's hammer in need of unearthly strength to lift it; to lift it one also needed purity of character; while strong guys are easy to find; those of pure character are not and the Hulk would not qualify. Now, the Asgardian trolls who made it couldnt lift it; they could slide something under it and lift it instead and thus carry it off; they did this in a few of the old time comics.
Set; hits the nail on the head; i hate that type of poor writing also just to glory the new kid on the block.

Agreed. Kind of like in Superman Returns where a tiny kryptonite crystal mortally wounds Superman, but then he is able to LIFT AN ISLAND MADE OUT OF KRYPTONITE!
Which one is it?!?
I agree with Valegrim - other people lifting Mjollnir is just too much. Especially when it is a version of Hulk. He is very much the opposite of "pure".
I just heard from the local comic store; that they are going to change the Thor stuff and go back to the old numbering system and take off current numbers from there; anyone know anything about this; sounds like a shake up.
|

they want to cash in on a Thor #600 special and then take off the numbering from there. Not sure if its a trend or not. The thing is...depending on where you start and stopped counting from the original run, Thor is -already- past issue #600. It's a controversy for sure and kind of trivializes the 'new' run of Thor.
yep; you hit the nail right on my fears; I like the new story; is kinda slow but needed stuff; I am really liking the mortal guy sorta dating the Asgarian immortal; hehe; the balder thing is a nice spin; still dont trust Loki; all and all i am liking it; want it to continue; am waiting for the day when Thor comes calling on Iron Man to settle things for stealing his DNA; and can hardly wait until Sif is rescued; hope that is not a spoiler cause we dont know if it will every happen.
I am looking forward to the Thor movie

I reserving skepticism for a Thor movie. Not every comic book movie can be the Dark Knight or Spider Man even if thats what the studio imagines each time. Thor for all his power and history at Marvel will always be second tier in popularity. Kenneth Branaugh's interest in being the director is a huge start since he has cred in shakespearian drama movies which might be an asset for a Thor movie. There is no clear cut casting beyond that. I know I've read Daniel Craig the guy who plays James Bond turn down Thor rumors on two occasions.

perhaps. But generally speaking they have had a good run on superhero movies. I even liked the new Hulk movie. Iron Man, X-Men, Spider Man, Batman have all been homeruns IMHO

Iron Man was the break out hit of the year IMO. Batman, Spiderman, Hulk, Superman...these heroes are all imprinted on the minds of popular culture and need little hyping truthfully. That is why Superman and Hulk were let downs for some. Iron Man had no preconceived notions as he is 2nd tier like Thor. It will be nice if Thor can acheive near IM popularity after a movie but I'd be willing to settle for something better than Punisher, GhostRider or Daredevil.
it really depends on where they pick up the Thor story; I like the Avengers dvd comic where you had nick fury and capt america come to recruit Thor; who was on a greenpeace ship telling them the whaler boat captaint they couldnt fish for whales in his waters; hehe that was a great scene; and the references that Thor keeps doing that sort of thing; the problem with a Thor movie is going to be getting the audience to identify with the character; so Thor has to be reachable on some level by the audience; just a powerful guy isnt enough; we need to have some feeling for him for this movie to be successful. There are some really good Thor threads where this can take place from the comics; some great scenes that have stuck in my head for years.

I have been out of comics for to long....(8 or10 years.....gee how time goes by..) and have stumbled across this post just now....your old neighborhood Spiderman has revealed himself to the public, ......Thor been missing.....Cap going rogue....Sh---t! I have some catching up to do!!!!!! Going to our local shop right now. See if backissues are available... Sounds good, but the unmasking of Spiderman? Not sure if I like it. Hope the stories haven't lost any of their flavor.

Hope you're sitting down with a strong drink when you start looking at those comics. Especially when you get to 'Brand New Day' (Spider-man), 'Civil War', and 'Secret Invasion'.
Well, spidey had been considering it for decades; really. and with the new laws he just thought it the right thing to do; I wanted to read the back issue too; but sheesh there were so many crossthreads I just couldnt afford it/

Spiderman reavealed his identity to the world?
yep; I guess it was the law; in civil war he took off his mask; hope that isnt a spoiler for anyone as it happened long time ago.
Spiderman reavealed his identity to the world?
Let me sum this up:
Spidey's home got burned to the ground and he needed a place to stay. Tony Stark invited Peter and his family into Stark Towers (the home of the New Avengers) for as long as they needed. Peter also started working for Stark a bit, including getting a new costume (the red and gold one, which was not bad looking and while mechanical it only really had functions I thought he needed: another story). When Stanford blew up, the SHRA (Super-Human Registration Act) was passed in Congress. Peter thought about this for a long time, then took Stark's advice and went legal, including unmasking on TV. Which he came to regret when he learned that the villains he'd helped put away, as well as the heroes, weren't getting due process and were shipped to the Negative Zone straightaway. Peter also regretted the death of Bill Foster by the Thor-clone. The rest is covered in Civil War (as was most of this stuff).
His big reason for having a secret id was to protect his family, friends and other loved ones from reprisals from villians; which has happened over and over; guess some writer didnt think Stacey's death meant that much to Peter; or how many times his aunt and MJ had been victims of villians. Damn silly if you ask me as his reasons of remaining hidden are still valid.
but dont get me wrong; my little vent has nothing to do with the appreciation of your providing the details; thanks much; hugs
Well; so what is happening in Thor news; heard someone new is gonna write it now and there renumbering.

I don't know about new writers. Hope so. Thor is starting over counting at 600. Marketing ploy entirely since I believe its inaccurate anyhow.
Also look for Thor in the cartoon DVD, 'Hulk vs Thor'. Apparently the online Thor community is incensed about how Thor is portrayed in this cartoon, but I disagree. They can't see the forest for the trees.
