Volstagg's greatest power.

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

I love Walter Simonson's run on The Mighty Thor. One of my favorite bits is the work he did with Volstagg.

"Volstagg possessed a strength the world had never seen. A strength surpassed only by the power of his heart."

(Come on, you know where I cribbed that from. Let's hear it.)

Plus Thor puts little boys to sleep with his magic hammer.

Enjoy!

The Animated Batman Show That Didn't Happen

[zechs80]

Given Batman: The Brave and the Bold is at a end everywhere but the states. Of course there's a new Batman show in the works. But alas this idea isn't one of them. It was deemed too grim and gritty.

Dark Smoke Puncher

[sharky_chan]

From the comments on recent posts about Chris Hastings' run on Deadpool, I suspect there are quite a few Dr. McNinja fans here at s_d. I haven't seen many Dr. McNinja posts, though, so I thought I'd help rectify that!

Dr. McNinja got picked up by Dark Horse recently, so now's as good a time as any to highlight the series' many joys. But rather than go blow by blow through the "best of" moments, I figured I'd give some love to my favorite character, Dark Smoke Puncher.

( Sean McNinja, aka Dark Smoke Puncher, aka DSP )

So yeah. In a cast of outlandish and colorful characters, all of whom I find likable, DSP still manages to stand out and remain the clear favorite. Dr. McNinja is a must-read for me even without him, but his presence certainly doesn't hurt matters XD.

Volstagg stops traffic and then Thor fixes traffic.

Greetings True Believers!

I'm putting away my recently purchased Thor back-issues and I keep running into awesome Volstagg moments.

These ones came from Asgard's war against the Egyptian god Seth.

Enjoy!

Request: Maid Marian And Her Merry Men in "Driving Ambition" & "Keeping Mum"

[misterbug]

Maid Marian has been a difficult character to tackle among various TV adaptations of 'Robin Hood' due to her straddling the line between gentility and outlawishness; portrayals have ranged from the desperate damsel being ravished by Alan Rickman/Roger Rees to the stern Abbess played by Audrey Hepburn and wooed by Sean Connery, to the most recent BBC series in which she, um, was Batman. Which would have been cool if she was the main character...or the series was at all well-written.

In 1989, however, following his huge success as Baldrick in Blackadder, Comedian-Archaeologist Tony Robinson side-stepped the issue by asking the question: "What if Marian was the real hero all along"?, and promptly cast himself as the Blackadder-like Sheriff of Nottingham. In this version of the story, Marian formed the gang out of outlaws she met while trying to sell off her beloved pet Tadpole, and Robin was the cowardly Tailor to the King's Underpants forced by her into a life of crime. It ran for four series, and (what I've seen of it), was brilliant.

So what it is, is that our beloved Mod and noted Robin Hood enthusiast Greenmask Kindly Requested that I post some pages of the comic adaptation by Robinson and Paul Cemmick.
