Marvel Comics General

Is he a man made out of dirt? Or is he just a man who digs up dirt on people?

'Cause the latter idea would be a great title for a drama series about a PI.

With all the memes about women choosing a bear over a man, Hollywood might wanna get on an 'East of the Sun and West of the Moon' adaptation

Given the stuff that happened around Stan Lee in his final days, some of it dealing with his daughter (who spun this Dirt Man story), I wonder if this is an attempt to generate revenue around his leftover and posthumous concepts. You know dead artist's final work has a nice ring for an attempted IP or something.

x2 Part of me wants it to be a combination of both, sort of like a Marvel version of Sandman (the Sandy Hawkins version who has geometric powers as well as the dream prediction powers of his predecessor Wesley Dodds).

The new Daredevil creative team is Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto.

I knew Zdarsky was going to be doing something after his run on Peter Parker ended, but this is pretty damn amazing. Of course, they are following up on Soule's amazing run (and even though his last arc is called "The Death of Daredevil," I don't think he's actually going to kill him off), but then again Soule was following up on Mark Waid's amazing run.

Also, Zdarsky being Zdarsky, I hope he makes the book a little bit lighter.

What do we think the explanation's gonna be for Thor's gold hammer?

Or is there already one and I missed it?

My various fanfics.

Hmm. It might be that Mjlonir will emerge from the sun — after all, do we really think that the sun itself can melt Uru?

No, Thor mentions in the first issue of The Mighty Avengers how he essentially wants to drink himself into a coma "every time I wake up and reach for a Mjolnir that is not there."

So the hammer isn't Mjolnir and his golden arm isn't Uru.

Maybe it's Adamantine, like Hercules's club.

My various fanfics.

What happened to Mjolnir at this point?

Jane threw it into the sun and it exploded and she died.

My various fanfics.

Well that's rude of her.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

"Jane threw it into the sun and it exploded and she died."

Comics!

Well, she did have Cancer if you recall, so we can assume the death happened well after the explosion...where she just died of Cancer.

I feel like I'm not defending Comics very well here.

One Strip! One Strip!

I honestly have a bigger concern for the hammer being destroyed than Jane dying.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Actually, she died going into the sun, kissing Thor.◊

Destroying a very powerful mystical weapon that grants powers to its user? There better be a good reason for that, or else Jane went out like a moron.

Wake me up at your own risk.

Huh.

That' s pretty awesome way to die.

Props to you for going out like a boss there Jane.

One Strip! One Strip!

She tied up Mangog in the chains meant to bind Fenris and then tied the chains to Mjolnir and launched it all into the sun to kill him.

My various fanfics.

I weep for the hammer.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Mjolnir has returned from destruction almost as much as some comic characters

She’ll bounce back from this

And probably off someone's face while she's at it.

One Strip! One Strip!

That’s how you get those satisfying bounce sfxs

Hell yeah.

Smash a face in baby! That's how our girl Mjolnir gets things done!

One Strip! One Strip!

Yes, yes, Jane died...and then Thor and Odin used their mystic lightning to revive her heart and bring her back. So she's not actually dead, she's just back to being plain, cancer-ridden Jane Foster (well, okay, she's actually getting treatment for her cancer now, since she doesn't have Mjolnir, but still).

I don't think Thor is using a regular hammer, but rather a variety of hammers that have been made for him, none of which last very long. The latest was the one he wielded in Hel, called, appropriately, Hel-bringer. It wasn't the golden hammer, though, so I have no idea where he got that.

Wow. As revivals go, that's pretty quick.

Hmm, so there's a possibility that if Mjolnir comes back, and Jane recovers, either she's or Odinson could become Thor again.

That'd be pretty neat. Hammers to the face for everyone baby!

One Strip! One Strip!

I mean, it was a single issue and she was only dead for a few minutes, so I don't really count that as a resurrection. Although "revived by mystical defibrillation" is a pretty awesome thing to write.
