Comic Con

Yes, I was at Comic Con this weekend too.


There's so much coverage of this weekend's NY Comic Con that there's really not much to add.
I had a good time. Friday's ACT-I-VATE panel was a success with it's full attendance and spirited dialogue. I participated in another panel entitled "HOW I GOT MY JOB" with former Marvel editor Andy Schmitt, DC/Vertigo/freelance writer Stuart Moore, Bob Greenberger, and penciler Jamal Igle. It was a really interesting conversation, and I think the audience got a lot out of the different experiences we could relate.

I went into it with a few goals, not least of which was the procurement of issue #136 of THE MIGHTY THOR by the McCartney/Lennon, Strummer/Jones, Jagger/Richards of comics -- Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. I think this issue's the perfect distillation of everything they did best, their quintessential hit single. I'm so glad you agree! I must have paged through at least 10 - 15 copies and finally settled on this one...

I always thought that issue had an interesting take on what flight must feel like the first time -- fun but also terrifying. And I hafta say, Sif was clearly a rebound relationship...

Does Jim H. remember the last line in Thor 136????

It's a line used often in BSG.

You talking about this made me buy some original issues of FF, I got a few in the 70's to 90's. Cool that you found one though. Now I really want to read that Thor issue though...

It starts with issue #137, but I recommend Essential Thor vol. 3. That's got the rest of the best.

I think they did it temporarily, but I always thought the simplest solution for the Donald Blake/Thor-Jane Foster relationship would be to bind Sif to Jane Foster.
