Modern Comics Heating Up (Those With Potential Too) (Part 1)

Online stores will do this if you prove to be a good guesser. They want the money for themselves and despise speculators

Safe to say thor 20 will go to a 2nd printing. Cover a is $20 on eBay. Even the villain variant is around $15.

If it’s the last page on the cvr of the 2nd print, 21 could possibly suffer.

Or it’s just another character design Donny stole and changed the name.

If he writes for Marvel and all the characters are owned by Marvel, how is it stealing?

Mjolnir is identified with lightning. Embodiment should be… lightning. Right?

Any thoughts on whether this God of Hammers character has showed up previously in Mighty Thor 10/11? This guy on Youtube is saying as much… https://youtu.be/4tHx_AYm3zs?t=2974

Mighty Thor 12 shows up on KCC’s Trending 20 list today and they explain that it is trending because;

  • Origin of Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer, specifically its power stems from a cosmic, world-destroying storm trapped by Odin in Uru metal, forged into a hammer and enchanted so only those who are worthy could lift it. The storm was referred to as God Tempest, the Mother of Thunder
  • [December 2021 - the God of Hammers arc could be an expansion of this origin or at least inspired by it]
  • :chart_with_upwards_trend: +750% copies sold this week versus the previous week

I wouldn’t say Donny Cates really stole. I mean character made of lighting or energy isn’t a very new or original concept. I’m sure ultimate Electro has looked like that a few times

Stop with the Donny hate, he didnt “steal” the character. Ridiculous.

No one makes you read all 192 parts.I just bought the mini series. Thought it was mediocre.

KIB was mediocre for sure. I have Thor on my pull but just riding out this series until he ends it. It’s been OK… I thought Blake coming back and going on a rampage was fun. but this is it for me on Cates books. The plus, Nic Klein on interiors has been great.

Yeah, I too really liked that storyline.
One thing I had hoped we would’ve seen was whatever that Thor #9 1:25 cover was all about. It looked soooo brutal.

…I like a chunk of Cates stuff.

I liked Codex thought that should of been the future of Dylan and Venom not what we have today just same old looking Venom with Dylan inside

Such a good cover. In my book, that cover is tied with the following for the best of this volume of Thor:

As long as you don’t mind extremely decompressed storytelling, he’s ok. The plot for 1 issue is dragged out to 5 or 6.

Scalera is a beast and he knocked another one outta the park with that cover. And as long as we’re gushing over Thor Vol 6 covers… Coipel gave us one of my favorite Throg covers ever with #18.
