The Immortal Thor #17

[laughing_tree]

I kind of approach comics writing like a comics historian. So I'm sort of thinking, when I write Thor, I'm thinking about Thor through the years. Recently, we just started a story where we bring back as many of Thor's original villains as will fit in the... you know, not the communists. There are a lot of communists, we can't really include them, but Radioactive Man is here. He can represent all the other communists. Yeah, it's Radioactive Man, it's the Cobra, Mr Hyde, it's the Grey Gargoyle. I was thinking, yeah, let's take all of Thor's early foes and turn them into a team, and have them take on Thor and have them win a little bit because these were people Thor dealt with in a kind of done and one, usually very simply, after having solved the problem of the week. But like, yeah, no, actually if you put them all together, they're a big threat. You can make them a pantheon of Earthly gods. -- Al Ewing
