Thread 150074960

>The Norse Myths tell of Gods who walked the Earth, doing great deeds for the mortals who believed in them. But Asgard isn't real, and never was. The Gods never soared in our skies, never stood with our heroes, never fought for kindness or justice. It was all just a story. Nobody's coming to help us.

>But somewhere in the city...a man is waking up. A man with a hammer.

Bump if you're reading.

And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.

>>150075003
He looks like Pico

>>150075069
Based.

That sucked.

Heh, why not.
Is there some context for why Thor is powerless? Did something happen in his previous run?

So did he kill those other two guys? Those looked like very severe attacks.

>>150075281
Loki killed him. He then stole donalda Blake's soul and merged it with his own and was reborn as sigurd

>>150074960 (OP)
I hope the Wrecking Crew get to pop up sometime in Ewing's run

>>150075540
Why do cape comics do shit like that all the time? There's always convoluted magic stuff going on, time travel, stolen souls, endless fucking clones, resurrections, you have to read like 30 issues of bullshit to understand what's going on. Now I don't want to read this thor comic anymore.

>>150074976
A setting where Beta Ray Bill takes Thor's place in the origin of the Avengers would genuinely be cool.

>>150074996
Kind of a downgrade from Amora but still pretty good.

>>150075572
Because it has been going on forever. There is a constant need for surprising twists, reviving characters the writer wants to use that were killed off, reinventing and so on.

>>150075018
Ewing really loves Roxxon as bad guys, has a lot of fun with them and getting milage out of how scummy to make them

>>150075069
KINO.

>>150075047
Ouch

>>150074996
Cute!

What the fuck language is Thor speaking?

>>150075069
Not bad I enjoyed it. Having a fresh start even if it involved some convoluted steps is nice and a good chance to start small again. I like the framing of a god walking among mortals to experience what it's like. And wow the fight was pretty brutal. Somehow the normal human scale makes it more gristly.

>>150075069
Kino. Street level Thor swoletariat sounds so good on paper.

Of course Ewing picks the virgin Norwegian over the Chad Icelandic.

>>150075713
What else would he be? Called a Norse god.

>>150075727
Icelandic is virtually Old Norse.

I just love when big operatic comic characters are in books that behave like a mid 00s FX show on a budget! Fantastic use of Pasqual Ferry too, I hope they get Charles Vess next, maybe he can draw a subway station or an HR department.

>>150075818
Just until he gets a bunch of friends and they talk while eating take-out.

>>150075003
Fuck off LoKIKE

>>150075856
What if the gag is that this is actually someone/thing else posing as a blatant Loki stand-in?

>>150075003
>>150075007
>>150075014
I hate how fucking theatre kid gay Loki is these days.
The actual Loki got bred by a stallion three times total and that was somehow still less gay than this.

>>150075894
Loki is either a flaming faggot or a kid these days
Sometimes both

>>150075870
Doesn't matter. It's just tiresome either way.

>>150074960 (OP)
As someone who has no idea about Thor lore
Was donald blake ever a real person or was he always just a personality?

>>150075957
Just a personalty crafted and created by Odin that eventually became a real person.

>>150076112
I am so confused that's what people tell me but the wiki says he was a real person who got killed by lokis wife while in stasis

>>150075685
Norwegian
It was probably chosen because he is friends with Torunn Gronbekk who is also from Norway

>>150075957
Initially just an altar ego made by odin that has been retconned to be his own, completely separate individual that was super upset that he stopped mattering. Ewing has tried to reconcile it all by saying that the Serpent took Donald Blake's human soul as a means to fucking with thor to explain why Donald was randomly evil and that Thor taking back the mortal soul has let him exist again after he was unexisted as a god.

>>150076261
It probably took all restraint Ewing had NOT to make this all an allegory about capitalism bad.

A bit too grotesquely violent for a children's comic

This will be my first post on /co/.

How can anyone think that this is boring for real ? How can anyone seriously dismiss a gritty book with Thor as a supposed to be Scandinavian construction worker ? How can anyone see Thor as uncool for real in this book ?
"Ouh, Thor is mortal, so sleep-inducing, this is so boring guys..." why are you lying to yourself like that ?
You guys are just forcing onto yourself the old fade there will be in this individual opinion of yours on this board, with the most exhilarating, wildest, most non-traditionly daring comic book there can be, while your indiscriminate love is praising Waid's Batman for things that would be shat on if they were written by someone else, but YEEEEEEEEEEES you have to praise it even if it's shit because your opinion dictates you to do so !!!

No wonder you can get laid, but guess what ? I don't have a girlfriend. Not for the first time of my life after 24 years I still don't have a girlfriend, and all that nerd fuss still remains so interesting.
I'm just staying for good now, I've not had much fun with that board but I'm only starting. I wish you to get no sex to, maybe it will open your eyes about the individual opinion that is defining your self, but happily, the individual opinion is certainly helping you be able to seduce anyone, so you're most likely free as a bird, and happily, there is no Spawn to keep you from it. I just hope that this message will maybe help you to agree with me a bit more and to get no sex to.

Enjoy my book!

>>150074981
>Beta Ray Bill used to control thunder and lightning using a hammer
Bill still lost his hammer in this scenario where Thor is just a myth?

>>150074981
But we just saw Bill with a Hammer in Storm

>>150076312
ahhh, good old schizoposting.

>>150075075
>legacy #787
So mortal Thor will go on for 13 issues and end at #800

>>150075069
CapeSOVL.

>>150075003
I like Loki because he always finds a new way to appeal to my inner shotacon

>>150074976
>well,the last run was good but had a wacky art
>maybe they found a better artist this ti-

>>150076996
It is better, but as you pointed out, that's not saying much

Ewing sure is on a lot of books these days

>>150077036
Three a month is that much for him
At one point, I think he was on four or five

>>150075069
Remember to not say this is good outside storytime threads or else they will obsessively say it is shit

>>150076312
The copypasta finally went to bizarro world

>>150075404
Almost certainly. The first guy had his eye ball get launched out and the other got hit hard enough with the sharp half of the hammer to leave chunks of gore on it.

>>150075870
Could be Utgard Loki

>>150075069
WHERES THE SPAMMING FAGGOT, WHERE IS HE. MAKE HIM EAT THIS FUCKING PAGE

>>150075069

Did not expect all the gore. Liked it very much

>>150077266
which one?

>>150074960 (OP)

Nope Im good.

>>150075894
Huh, but that was Lucky, not Loki

I liked it. Thanks for the story time

God, that was gay

>>150077706
>This wouldn't be what it is without the astonishing art of Pasqual Ferry, who I'm flabbergasted that I get to work with - he gives Sigurd an easy charm that makes me (and hopefully, you) fall in love with the guy... but he also delivers on the action beats. Emphasis on "beats", because some fascists take a beating in this one. They take a beating to the extent that you might be worried about whether this is the Thor you know.

What a faggot.

>>150075047
>>150075064
Oh shit he killed them
>>150075018
Wonder if Dario remembers Thor

>>150075069
Pascual Ferry isnt my ideal artist but this sequence alone makes him leaps better than the previous one

Ewing is such a tool.

The art is horrendous. They probably paid more to alex ross for the cover than the artist for the comic lol

>>150077766
I don't think Ewing knows what fascist means.

>>150077766
You're surprised?
This is the guy who made a magic horse say "Never trust a Tory" when he guest-wrote a page for Cates Thor

>>150074981
I've gotta admit, starting at this page I at first thought it was the artist from unbeatable Squirrel Girl trying a more realistic style.

>>150078174
Remember these people are retarded, they'll call Darth Vader fascist but not Dr. Doom or Magneto.

>>150074969
>>150074976
This art is awful. Perry was always overrated but especially lately the art has been atrocious. That doctor strange was ruined by his scribbles too.

>>150078209
It looks nothing like Henderson’s art at all. In any way.

>>150078208
>This is the guy who wrote the character he created consistently and not like one of those posh ponies up in Asgard

>>150075018
"scabs", the term is "scabs"

>>150078423
He didn’t create him though

>>150075069
KINO

>>150078597
He did. Mr Horse showed up in the Valkyrie series Ewing wrote and Ewing was the one who gave him his Yorkshire Accent

>>150075047
>>150075064
I'm used to Thor not going straight for the kill, at least not while on Earth, but that's the most not giving of a fuck he's been in a while.

>>150078282
What exactly is fascism anyway? None of those have funny accent or say jawohl or mein gott.

>>150075069
All I can hope for is that they keep him street level for a while, because I'm down for some proper vigilante Thor and everything that comes with.

>>150078346
ehhh I wasn't a fan when he was doing Thor with Fraction

>>150074981
>>150074987
Are we really going to do this all the time? Because I don’t really know, I’m a fucking EOP. As much as I wanted to understand another language at least have the decency to put translations below. The only good point about this is that it is not one of those times they use a box that says “translated from this one language*”.

>>150078282
I don’t think Ewing has any issue calling Doom fascist. Magneto bounces around a bit.

>>150078825
Why would Germans have a monopoly on an Italian term

>>150078825
If we go by the list from the essay Ur-fascism by Umberto Eco, some of that could be applied to this Biker Gang and their Roxxon boss namely. "The cult of tradition" with their obsession of Thor, "Contempt for the weak" see the bikers dislike for the Workman "Newspeak" mostly the boss going for specific terminology when talking about the Strikebreakers and "Machismo" since the bikers keep calling Thor a Princess for having long hair.
It's a bit of a stretch, and even Eco in the Essay doesn't think it's a definitive list but it's broad enough some of them could be applied in this issue
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fascism

>>150078948
If we use Marxist terms these guys would be lumpenproles, not necessarily fascists but definitely willing to work for them

>>150075572
>Waaah why isn't this like manga why isn't this like the MCU
Fuck off tourist

>>150076312
>Waid's Batman

>>150078912
All he says is:
>There's nothing on TV
>Gotta eat some breakfast
>Guess I'm not eating breakfast today
That's it, it's not like he said anything important.

>>150074981
Oh me. Oh my.

>>150079068
I can change it to "Snyder's Absolute Batman" if you really want, but that's a bit of a mouthful.

>>150074981
>Nothing worth watching on TV. I should make breakfast.

>>150074987
>The wires must be defective! Looks like I won't eat breakfast today.

>>150075572
Honestly as far as resurrections go, this was pretty clever of Thor.
He and Donald Blake used to be two halves of the same coin, one a god and the other mortal.
But due to circumstances Donald went crazy and became evil, and there was a convoluted thing where he became a God, a new Serpent. And he even had an evil Hellnir, a dark shadow of Mjolnir

And Thor realized that if both he and Donald were Gods, then between them there was a mortal soul going unused.
So he did an inversion of how Donald used to strike his cane to turn himself into Thor and the cane into Mjolnir, striking Hellnir and turning himself into a Mortal

>>150075957
Back in the 60s, he was literally just some dude with the power to turn into actual Thor. Essentially OG Capt Marvel, but with a hammer and a single Norse God. Since no one gave a shit about Donald Blake, they just reconned him into having just been a magical non-existent alter ego.

>>150079413
>And he even had an evil Hellnir, a dark shadow of Mjolnir
I'm going to assume this was from Cates because it sounds really, really stupid.

>>150079425
they basically did that in the first few issues as well so no one cared

>>150077931
It's literally a joke about a Ditko-era page where he tells a bunch of student protester to buzz off.

>>150079520
Spider-Man's regret doesn't line up with what is depicted here. It must have been a different situation he is thinking about.

Are you really going to argue about politics now?

>>150079749
It is a Roxxon episode. They always have been that. Evil corporation that blends together things 70s hippies dislike.

>>150078948
That essay is widely mocked by providing a definition of fascism that’s so tenuous that can be conveniently applied to any political organization in human history. As an attempt to define the characteristics of fascism, it’s essentially useless.

>>150075540
Nigger this is a sequel to Immortal Thor
It's like complaining about reading a random harry potter and bitching about how you have to read the previous books to understand this one

>>150079450
sort of it's from the Cates ru,n but Ewing wrote those issues due to Cates had his little car accident, so he couldn't write the crossover with Venom(which was why Ewing was co-writing it)

>>150079815
But it is an essay Ewing would use to define these Bikers as fascists

>>150079450
It's very comic book-y and stupid

It's made out of Promethium, the magical metal from Illyana Rasputin's Limbo
It was forged with black Magic by the former Fantastic Four ally Darkoth during the brief time he ruled that dimension
It shoots Hellfire instead of Lightnin

And then it got melted down and mixed with Venom-symbiote matter and serpent venom and all dripped into Donald's eyes

>>150079815
And humans are fascists by default who have to coerced to be anything else.
