May 10, 2013 12:23 pm Looks like we've already covered the fantasy metal essentials like The Sword and Sun O))), but what we have to remember about Thor: God Of Thunder is that it very much veers into the horror-fantasy realm, as well. So my #1 pick overall would be "Lordi - It Snows In Hell": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pzGKW4ZQ2Y It's no coincidence that I picked a song by a Scandinavian band for a Viking comic. You listen to it, and you can almost feel the shiver down Thor's spine as he's in the land of Frost Giants. In fact, I'd suggest another Scandanavian song! "Nightwish - Sacrament Of Wilderness" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-Tx1xxFWTw It's kind of like watching Let The Right One In, where just watching it makes you cold. Some other similar picks... -Hammerfall - Hammerfall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uawjxsil9yM -Blessed By A Broken Heart - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xztb6BfAk8E What else...the God Butcher is an incredibly violent and dark being, so you need something with a kinetic and deep sound to reflect that. So... -Static X - Bled For Days http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixPPdXBQbK8 - Black Flag - My War http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeAje3grJCM -Refused - New Noise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkAe30aEG5c -Motorhead - Orgasmatron http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdegjWkZW4Q BONUS: PLEASE TELL ME that people know about the greatness/cheesiness that is Canadian "metal" legend Jon Mikal Thor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlEGORSKXDE

May 6, 2013 1:21 pm Someone should make a bingo card from all of these instances...and include a few special Kevin Smith squares in which the roles are reversed and he enters into a 1/2 hr story when someone asks him "How did you come up with the character Silent Bob?"

April 28, 2013 2:19 pm Comic news doesn't normally get me misty eyed, but THIS did. X-Factor is not only the best X-Men book ever, but my single most favorite comic series of all time. It's what got me into reading comics as both a kid and adult. My first tattoo was even X-Factor related. I understand that it had to end due to Peter David's health scare, but man...this is so sad. No comic series in the world will ever replace X-Factor.

April 16, 2013 10:18 am Sorry for the many grammatical errors in that last post...I just get super stoked when talking about Jushin Liger.

April 16, 2013 10:15 am Hell yes Tiger Mask! Try and see if you can track down the anime made for him, it's quite amazing. His manga is such a great basis for a pro wrestling comic story that I'm surprised that the WWE has had such trouble in that department. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the great Jushin "Thunder" Liger, since he wasn't the first space-age superhero wrestler, he's definitely one of the most flamboyant and talented. AND HIS THEME IS THE MOST BOSS THING EVER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm2laCCLuZE

April 11, 2013 2:16 pm Let's make an Over/Under bet on the amount of times that The Sentry will run away crying during his appearance. I'm setting it at 3. Over/Under?

April 10, 2013 5:51 pm Now THAT'S a true artist: attention to every detail, no matter how small or long.

April 10, 2013 5:42 pm A horrible game of telephone. BKV misunderstood the exact reason his book wasn't being sold on comixology, and so that confusion dispersed on a much grander scale. Before all the facts came to light about the "Explicit" settings on the various iOS apps, it was quite easy to take BKV's word as gospel and make assumptions that Apple straight up banned the issue. After all, why would we think that he was lying? It's too bad that it wasn't made clear to him at the beginning, because even though we now know all the facts, the ugliness is still lingering. I also wish that Comixology didn't wait an entire day before admitting that the decision was on their end, and not Apple's. An internet day is enough for the peoples' fervor to grow exponentially.
