DVD: Thor: Tales of Asgard arrives Tuesday
In case you can’t get enough Thor action, Marvel has Thor: Tales of Asgard scheduled to arrive in stores on Tuesday.
Before he ever lifted his mighty hammer, there was the sword. Fantastic journeys beckon from the mysterious nine realms. Places of dark mists and fiery voids. Of winged creatures and giants in the ice. And the most alluring quest of all – the search for the legendary Lost Sword of Surtur. Hungry for adventure, Thor secretly embarks on the journey of a lifetime, joined by his loyal brother Loki, whose budding sorcery equips him with just enough magic to conjure up trouble, along with the Warriors Three – a band of boastful travelers reluctant to set sail on any adventure that might actually be dangerous. But what starts out as a harmless treasure hunt quickly turns deadly, and Thor must now prove himself worthy of the destiny he covets by saving Asgard itself.

FRIDAY SING-ALONG: THOR!
With Thor opening nationwide today (it launched a couple of weeks ago in other countries), we thought this little tune should have you screaming “I’m Thor!”
REVIEW: Fear Itself #2 (of 7)
Or – “The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is CROSSOVER MADNESS…”
Odin has returned and Asgard is to be rebuilt by Anthony Stark, but the return of another ancient Norse deity has empowered a familiar wackjob with abilities equal to Thor himself. Now, Odin has elected to walk away from Midgard, and the clock is ticking for complete annihilation. STOP! HAMMERTIME!
GALLERY: The Mighty Thor rings the closing bell at the NYSE, uru prices still in decline
On May 2, 2011, Marvel Entertainment execs along with Thor were on hand at the New York Stock Exchange to ring the closing bell in celebration of the theatrical release of the Thor movie that arrives in theaters this week (May 06, 2011).
MOVIE: Thor hits $93 million internationally
Thor doesn’t open in the United States of America until this weekend (May 06, 2011), but it has already brought in $93 million from international box office ticket sales. Though we don’t know the official budget for the movie, it’s estimated Marvel Studios spent $150 million for the picture. Given a couple more weekends of screen time, Thor will more than likely make its cost back and then some.
REVIEW: Thunderstrike #5 (of 5)
Or – “Kinda Feels Like A Retro Review, Doesn’t It?”
One of the first times that I recall being aware of the creative teams behind the comics was when Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz took over Amazing Spider-Man from Roger Stern and John Romita, Jr. back in the 80′s. By consciously taking Spidey’s adventures back to something resembling Lee/Ditko, the team cemented themselves as the “retro guys” in my mind. A later run on Thor that was strongly influenced by Lee/Kirby added to that assessment, and the return of Thunderstrike from the tar pit of the 90′s adds a third level to it all, causing us to read a book in 2011 referencing a comic run twenty years ago that references a comic run forty years ago.
