Walt Simonson returns to the character that made him a comic book superstar this July for his latest creator-owned project from IDW Publishing. In “Ragnarök,” the award-winning writer/artist tells his own version of the Norse apocalypse, one where Thor sits out the final battle with the Midgard Serpent, allowing the dark gods to destroy Asgard and take over the nine worlds — until the God of Thunder returns.
You know they’ll try go get a miniseries out of this if they can.

My thoughts upon seeing this picture, in order: 1) AAAAAAAAA THOSE EYES. 2) It’s actually extremely well done. 3) What does it transform into? A regular pony, I guess? 4) AAAAAAA THAT MOUTH IT’S GOING TO DEVOUR MY SOUL. 5) No one better goddamn show this to Michael Bay, either.

“Minion! Did you take care of Captain America’s shield?”
Yes, commander! After today, that meddlesome schoolboy won’t even recognize his shield.”
“Exxxxcellent. Out of curiosity, what did you do?”

“Oh. Um, I’m not sure ‘sabotage’ is the right word, sir.”
“Then what DID you do, you fool?”
“Well…”

Many modern action movies, including How To Train Your Dragon 2, are visibly trying to make their female characters more than trophies and are only making them set pieces…
When was the last time a comic artist switching companies made the New York Times?

John Romita Jr. will makes his series debut on Superman at DC Comics on Wednesday.
A quarter of a century ago, I went into New York to catch the first showing of a movie starring a certain caped crusader, and then went over to DC Comics to talk with everybody there. I had to do it in that order, because there would be no other topic of discussion in the office that day. Not that there had been much of one in the country before that, as any flat surface in America had a bat-logo pasted on it.
Now there are many retrospectives about the release of [[[Batman]]] out today and how it changed the comics and movie industry forever. But what I want to point out is that in comics, we can’t help but poke fun at our neighbors’s failures and successes. And so it was that Steve Gerber, Bryan Hitch, and Jim Sanders III gave us The Sensational She-Hulk #19 and Nosferata the She-Bat:
Meet the most dangerous bounty hunter of all, Ooga Chaka, in this modern trailer for Star Wars.
If you’ve been watching any sort of television recently or have even just been clicking around online, you have probably heard of a series called ‘Penny Dreadful‘. Since the second last episode of the first season airs this evening, I wanted to do a short post as to why you should all be watching it.
(If you are not already.)
Starting first, it has the lovely Eva Green as Vanessa Ives, who is not only fabulous but is mysterious, and has some demons she’s fighting. Literally. (more…)
