The Ultimates #10

[laughing_tree]

I think the best way to show respect to what Mark and Bryan (and Andrew, Chris and Paul) did is to be true to the spirit of it. To me that means fresh storytelling and channeling the anxieties and energies of the time. It means letting the world in a little bit. So that’s what we’re doing. Where that Ultimates was channeling post-9/11 paranoia, this one is addressed to that nagging sense that everything’s gone wrong somehow, that things were supposed to be better than this. -- Deniz Camp

The Immortal Thor #21 - "Two Did Enter"

[laughing_tree]

There are a few stories in Thor’s very early days when he’s acting as a Superman analogue, and there’s one panel in particular where the entire world is radioing for Thor to stop a missile or something, that’s extremely Silver Age Superman. With Marvel, the natural thing is to ground a hero by giving him problems, and we’re definitely doing that -- god-size problems, naturally, especially since he’s now the King of Asgard. But one thing we won’t do this time is show him having doubts and fears about his worthiness for the role of the Thunder God and the All-Father: the last couple of runs addressed those issues very well and over a long period, so I think those stories have been excellently told already. Instead, the main way we ground Thor is by getting inside his head, in a way we haven’t for a while. You’ll see how we do that when the time comes, but it does feel like a long-lost secret recipe for a fully relatable Thor. One weird trick, as they say. -- Al Ewing
