Years ago, Marvel published a series of one-shots with a quirky premise: These were comics purportedly published within the Marvel Universe, the comics that the people living in the Marvel Universe read. I hadn't thought about them for a long time, but

wizardru's recent entry on the line's X-Men one-shot reminded me.

Each of the one-shots took the concept in a somewhat different direction. The Thor one-shot is premised on the idea that most people in the Marvel Universe don't believe he's really a god. So, naturally, Thor comic books in the Marvel Universe are about a hero who uses technology to pretend to be a magic deity.

Walter Simonson's run of The Mighty Thor is just perfect. The Warriors Three are a big part of that perfection.

The Asgardians have just defeated Surtur and saved the Nine Realms. Time to head home? Odin's Stones, no! Volstagg, Hogun and Fandral hit the streets for some errands and Midgard fun!

They, in the words of Carl from ATHF, "Don't need instructions to know how to rock!"

Plus a scene from the cute flirtation that Beta Ray Bill and Sif had around that time.

So yeah, it's the End of the Big Epic Battle issue, where the Status Quo Will Never Be the Same!, which in Thor-land means it must be Tuesday. Thor broody Odin snarky Loki snotty World Tree fungi nasty boom de yada boom de yada...look a double page spread oh look another double page spread wow these double page spreads make picking just four pages tough boom de yada boom de yada...

But we do get one cryptic page with a beloved minor character.

( Words that jangle in your head )

I'm finding that rather ominous myself. Thoughts, Thor fans?

The sky bleeds.

The Red Rain has come to the ruins of Asgard, and that heralds the coming of the World Eaters. ComicBookResources has the wordless preview as Odin works his wonders.

And a fan favorite also returns to the pages.

Any day of Last Stands must begin with the greatest of them all....the Tale of Skurge, the Executioner who stood alone at Gjallerbru.

Walt Simonson gave Skruge an ending so epic, so metal that the warriors and the skalds of the world unite in respect and honor.

His name was as Skurge! Say it, damn you, say it loud!

I thought I'd give you an early Christmas present. It' an hilarious Robot Chicken skit featuring Santa, Thor and Loki.

The trickery of Loki pits Santa and Thor against each other! Oh noes! Will Christmas be ruined?

Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite moments from the Straczynski run on Thor. The reaction from Thor when he confronts Tony about the clone that Stark, Reed and Skrull-Pym created during the Civil War.

Thor has just returned to Midgard and placed Asgard in it's new home of Broxton, Oklahoma. He's searching for the lost Asgardians when he encounters Iron Man in New Orleans and shows him a different definition of power.

First the God of War, now the God of Thunder, the Odinson, Thor. With Marvel in full swing of Mjolnir, Thor is making his presence felt in the media.

Newsarama has the full trailer to the Thor video game (and Batman video game) and more behind the cut.

She and mortal boytoy Bill are so awesome they managed to catch the eye and heart of a confirmed DC Girl here. A quick look at her Marvel Database Project page gives her first appearance as February 2008 - is that all? - the creation of J.M. Straczynski and Oliver Coipel.

Here is Kelda being awesome when Norse-thugs hassle her beloved.
( Go Kelda! )

And here she is when the Siege interrupts her bereavement call on the House of Bills.
( I know, now. )

I hope we get to see more of Kelda (and Valhalla Bill) even now that JMS and Co. are off the book...

ETA: Is there a series name and/or tag for this Week?

Here are four scans from Thor: The Mighty Avenger #5. This series continues to be one of the best things Marvel puts out.

New York Comic-Con was OUTRAGEOUS. Panels of note were the Avengers premiere and ItsJustSomeRandomPanel, but that's not what I'm here to talk about.

Okay, I want to start this post off with something midly off-topic (only mildly, I promise, and it ties in to the main post eventually, I promise):

I. Love. My. Boss.

Okay, Carol's not exactly my boss anymore. Friday was her last day, and she left me with a present before she left. You see, her brother left her with all of his old

comic books and never came back for them. She's moving, and had no desire to keep them, so she gave them to me. And do you know what was amongst that treasure trove?

Walt Simonson's run on The Mighty Thor.

And so, I offer you, my friends, the closest thing to a Hildy mega-post we're likely to get.

Lots of images below the cut, pretty large and not the least bit dialup friendly.

We start with Asgard under attack, and Frigga being put in charge of evacuating the children...

Here are four scans from Thor #615. Dr. Eric Solvang has dire news about Asgard, Midgard and the cosmic balance.

He seeks an audience in Broxton and luckily, Asgard's "Greatest Man of Science" is available to speak to him. Enjoy!

This post is about one of my favorite moments of Loki-Dickery. The fire-demon Surtur prepares to lay waste to Asgard and all creation. So All-Father Odin calls for all Asgardians, good and evil, to fight against him. He calls Balder the Brave from his self-imposed exile act as a ambassador to Loki. But dealing with Loki is never a simple deal.....

Enjoy and remember Walt Simonson is but a mortal aspect of the All-Father.

It's time for the coronation of Balder as the new lord of the Golden Realm and the Volstagg Clan is going to walk the red carpet in style. But Hildy does not care for her outfit. Right hooks ensue. This post also contains another moment of Hogun the not so Grim.

Walt Simonson is my master now.

My favorite canonical romance? There can no other. Bill, Born of Bills/Kelda Stormrider. The OTPness of this couple leaps from the page and strikes with woobiness and awesome-sauce.

Here is their first meeting and I've included links to my other Bill/Kelda posts.

Let the skalds sing of their love forever! Let the the metal bands compose epic seven minute ballads about them!

Here are scans from Thor The Mighty Avenger #4. THIS BOOK IS TOO AWESOME.

Seriously, this is my favorite title right now. I bow before Langridge and Samnee.

Why is this issue awesome? Warriors Three, Volstagg, Thor, bar-fight, lost gods, Volstagg, Captain Britain, British Stiff Upper Lip, art, Volstagg!

MARVEL! PUT THE WARRIORS THREE IN ANY TITLE. IT WILL MAKE THAT BOOK BETTER!

Well, True Believer, you'd be wrong!

Walt Simonson + Volstagg = Awesome!

I bring more scans of Volstagg excellence in my ongoing campaign to make people fall in love with Thor's supporting cast.

Volstagg's daughter Hildy is sick. You best get the fuck out the way!
