As much as I’m looking forward to James Robinson taking over this title, I was pleasantly surprised by this nice…

Stuff happened!  While I tend to agree that on the whole, Countdown has been a mess, this issue saw plots…

April 1, 2011 9:41 pm I believe there is only 1 page from 'Getaway Face' not reprinted in The Outfit, so maybe they'll include that in some fashion.

And comments from Simonson on the piece (via his Facebook page): "Insofar as I can remember, this was the first drawing of Thor of mine that was published when I was getting set to work on the title in 1983. I had probably designed Bill at this point, and started work on the comic itself. This image ran in Thor 336 as a promotion for my first issue, the next one. I don't know that this is the very first drawing of Thor I did, but it's possible. I'd guess it was done pretty early in any case simply because it's Thor and some fallen foes, not a scene specific drawing from my early issues. I gave Thor some dead Frost Giants and a creature inspired by Bosch and Bruegel as vanquished foemen."
February 18, 2011 2:13 pm Looks like it's an old piece from 1983, just recolored by Laura Martin. Simonson's DC exclusivity means no new Thor from him until that's over.

December 3, 2010 11:39 pm Watching now, just realized this is Earth-3, right? Let's hear it for the Multiverse!
December 3, 2010 5:31 pm Why not just go ahead and include the Sell-out and 2nd Printing announcements with that press release and save everyone some time next month?
August 26, 2010 5:36 pm Would love to see a regular Joker and Lex feature, but at that point, it almost stops being an homage, and just looks like you're ripping off Bill Watterson.  But I'm all in favor of a Green/Johnson/Albuquerque 'Lil Leaguers feature.
August 10, 2010 1:03 pm It's Metric on the soundtrack, but in the film, it's Brie Larson (who plays Envy) singing Metric's song.
