Thor #600 (Marvel) "Victory" J. Michael Straczynski Stan Lee Olivier Coipel Marko Djurdjevic Mark Morales Chris Eliopoulos Laura Martin Paul Mounts Christina Strain David Aja Matt Hollingsworth with reprinted material from Jack Kirby Vinnie Colletta Artie Simek

Thor celebrates his 600th issue with a bang - and banishment. Loki's subtle manipulations since he switched genders has now borne fruit and causes the Thunder God to leave Oklahoma, i mean Asgard. can you imagine beating up your grampa? man, that's sick. to wash off the bad taste, Chris Giarusso serves up a hilarious summary on everything that happened since this title's reboot. and Stan the Man hits us with a back-up story detailing Thor's relationship with mere mortals, illustrated by David Aja (whom we need drawing a lot more - please come back to Iron Fist). fun, fun, fun.


oh, and here's a cheer and toast to JMS for his Oscar-nominated Changeling. hope you win at least one of three.

an Avengers interview

i apologize right off the bat and say i finally caved in and will feature the Mini Marvels at every opportunity. this appears in Marvel Adventures each month, and its a shame it isn't a monthly in itself. i grew up reading comic strips, so i think X-Babies was a fantastic concept, and Mini Marvels is carrying that torch. i bow to you, Chris Giarrusso. i gotta do what i gotta do.
