I recently picked up Marvel’s Thor: The Mighty Avenger volume one and two.  I hadn’t realized trade paperbacks had been published of this wonderful material from Roger Langridge and Chris Samnee but discovered them through an Amazon search and quickly acquired both at my local...

It’s a fun filled show this week as hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija are joined by Comic Culture regulars Marty Birthelmer and James Harris. DC’s Flashpoint #5 and the DC wide relaunch are discussed. The guys also touch on the success of the Thor movie, the new Tintin trailer,...

So how did you spend this past weekend? The correct answer is… you saw Thor on Friday night and Saturday you were at your favourite comic book shop for Free Comic Book Day. That is how I spent my weekend. THOR I was excited to see Thor on opening night.  I was killing some time on...

I had a comic book weekend that was both ends of the spectrum. First up was Thor on Friday night. The first marvel flick of the year and lucky me my girlfriend was dying to go. Since we hadn’t gone to the theater for a while, it became date night. First off, well done to all of the...

Our first glimpse of warm weather reminds us that summer is just around the corner. April showers bring more than May flowers; they bring the start of the summer movie season. What comic book movies hit the big screen this summer? We have the run-down on the good and the bad coming to theaters...

IDW had some announcements at Wondercon this past weekend, but the one that caught my eye was the release of Walter Simonson’s The Mighty Thor Artist’s Edition.  Here’s their blurb: San Diego, CA (April 1, 2011) – IDW Publishing is thrilled to announce the expansion of...

ComicLink March Focused Auction The ComicLink March Focused Auction has just ended. This time around I want to focus on a “Tale of Two Comics”. Amazing Spider-Man #1 (ASM  #1) and Journey into Mystery #83 (JIM #83) are two comics heading in opposite directions. Luckily a 9.0 Off White...

I’ve been following the online kerfuffle among some fanboys that Idris Elba is playing Heimdall in Thor, which made the front page of Yahoo!Canada this morning. Some are saying that this is political correctness run amok, others are saying that this is “messing with the natural order...

As I’ve previously mentioned on a few occasions, I’m a pretty big fan of pro wrestling. And as I’ve previously mentioned on those previous occasions, yes, I’m well aware that it’s scripted. I like my stories, OK? Wrestlemania is upon the horizon (don’t...

Welcome to another installment of Pick Five, where one of our writers picks five of whatever comic related “fill in the blank” that tickles their fancy. The success rate of adapting comic book properties into other media is astonishing and if anything the trend seems to be picking up...

Before you get too excited it’s only a cover but never the less it’s Walt Simonson returning to his longest running work, Thor.  Let’s hope someone can talk him into a regular gig; give the image a click to see it in full size glory. Simonson had a terrific run on Thor,...

There’s so much going on in this trailer. We can see that there likely will be no real use of Donald Blake, since when he lands he recognizes that he isn’t on Asgard anymore and they probably thought the whole transformation thing would be too convoluted. The lack of Donald Blake...

So, let’s take a small perusal of just what looks good to me from Marvel’s Solicitations for December. ULTIMATE COMICS DOOM #1 (of 4) Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS Penciled by RAFA SANDOVAL Cover by BRYAN HITCH Variant Cover by Terry Dodson The enemy has revealed itself and the...

I am always one to admit when I’m wrong. And boy did I miss the mark on what would be announced at Comic Con. No Bendis job movement, no real Vertigo crossover announcement, nothing about The Shadow. In fact in terms of news from San Diego…er…there was none. I guess this is...

Woah, that’s pretty interesting stuff… what do you think? Oh and there’s more.. here’s the second trailer – this time for the Thor video...
