The pictures from Kenneth Branagh’s Thor keep rolling in, and they keep making the Marvel panel at Comic Con my most anticipated event of the coming weekend. The pictures so far look really, really campy and kind of plastic. I wonder if that’s the tone of the Asgard stuff. Or is...

So this week I decided to do a bit of dreaming. A lot of people like fantasy football or various mythical match ups for UFC fights so why can’t I do the same for comics? Before I begin I would like to point out that none of these are rumors I have heard, things that I know, etc etc. If...

It was revealed earlier this week that Joe Ruby and Ken Spears (best known for Thundarr the Barbarian) and Syd and Marty Krofft are teaming up to bring to light a ton of Jack Kirby ideas to the public. These were ideas that Jack created while being employed by Ruby-Spears’ animation...
