Thorsday!
Thor: The Mighty Avenger #1 is hitting the comic book stores this week! I urge you to run down to your comic outlet of choice and ask -- nay, demand! -- that said periodical be placed in your hot little hands. Wonder at the sophisticated brush stylings of Chris Samnee! Ogle the chromatic enhancements applied by Matthew Wilson! And there's words in it, too!

I used to follow Thor and a few others (DareDevil, Deadman, the Flash) away back when. I haven't bought one for a while.
ReplyDeleteAre there still comic book racks in the drug stores and are they still $0.12?
Be Well.
I would very much like you to imagine that you bought this one at the drug store and that it cost you twelve cents. It's that sort of comic book.
ReplyDeleteI stopped reading Marvel comics. But I decided to give "Thor: The Mighty Avenger" a chance. I loved it. Thanks for bringing out the kid in me. And the best part, I only have to wait 2 weeks for the next issue!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the book, man.
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing something that could have been a grand scheming cosmic event and taking the time to start it out slow and fun.
Roger, met you at Heroes Con the past couple of years and you did some wonderful sketches for me both years. The only time I've read Thor was when Simonson did his now-famous run but picked up T:TMA #1 and thought it was great -and so was #2! You and Samnee are a great team.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael! VERY happy to be working with Mr Samnee.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Thor: The Mighty Avenger made the NPR blog with a HIGHLY favorable review. The link is below:
