Marvel Now

[runawayboulder]

Or come thru DC's Vertigo line. I've seen a lot of folks get their start there.

 

[El Bastardo]

Yuck. Gillen and Land are doing Iron Man after?

Well, that's one less Marvel book I'll be buying.

 

[Webhead2006]

I get the hate on the land dude what's people beef with the writer gillen?

 

[runawayboulder]

Not everybody. El Bastardo is on an island by himself with the Gillen hate.

 

[CConn]

If Gillen writes Tony like he's RDJ, I'll buy it.

 

[runawayboulder]

I'd rather him come up with his own voice for Tony instead of biting off the movies. Gillen's better than that.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm ready for Tony to stop looking like Sawyer from Lost. Not sure why Larroca chose him as his model.

This. I knew he looked familiar, then i realized it after seeing him in a movie trailer. He seems like a weird choice. And is it just me, or does Pepper look like Nichole Kidman?

 

[El Bastardo]

I haven't read a lot by Gillen, I'll happily admit that.

Crown of Destruction was good. His Ares mini was neat, too. But Generation Hope was sometimes good and sometimes not, and aside from a couple good stories - the best of which was his Fear Itself tie-in, the worst of which was either his first arc or that godawful-hideous Phalanx issue - his Uncanny X-Men run has been horrid-****ing-****. I actually considered going back and finding the Milligan X-Men run that had giant anime mechs and Gambit-Death in it and re-reading it to see which has been worse, but it seems I not only erased most of that one from my mind, I vacated it from my comic collection. The best I've read of him were the few issues he did for the eXiled crossover between Journey into Mystery and New Mutants.

The bad outweighs the good. I'm not a Thor reader, and much as I'd like to see where the story went after JMS left the title, that's way way way down the bottom of my list of **** to get because of Gillen. And that's still, keep in mind, with me having enjoyed the crossover Journey into Mystery issues.

 

[JewishHobbit]

You're crazy. Gillen's Uncanny run has been fantastic. That Phalanx issue was amazing.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I can see that. I forget who draws Norman Osborn like Tommy Lee Jones. Might even be Land.

Mike Deodato.

Yeah THIS. Not just the Phalanx issue but the UXM point 1 issue with Magneto, the arc with SWORD and Unit and the current Mr Sinister story.

I'll say this about Gillen's run on Uncanny compared to his other work on Thor and Journey into Mystery (which is the best work I've seen from him) is that UXM has been held back from it's true potential under Gillen because of the editorial mandate with AvX and stuff. He hasn't really been able to settle in and get comfy because everything has been building to AvX since Schism.

Mike Deodato.

Nice Work

 

[BigSams50]

Not a bad cover for Thor.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I want the disc back on his chest.

 

[Spider-Nerd]

Mike Deodato.

Oh that's creepy.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

^There we go

Mike Deodato.

Ooooh. Mike "Draw everybody like a bodybuilder" Deodato, that's right. One of my fav artists

 

[Anubis]

I like Tommy Lee Osbourne.

 

[runawayboulder]

It is creepy. Now every-time I see Tommy Lee Jones in a movie, I picture him banging Gwen Stacy.

Thanks a lot Deodato....

Whoo for comics!

 

[Webhead2006]

it is a nice cover and since the thor book is talking about seeing thor at three different points in his life this is probably just one of his many looks.

 

[Fives]

Yeah, that should be very cool seeing him in different periods.

Here's the interview in full that he did with newsarama:http://www.newsarama.com/comics/thor-god-of-thunder-marvel-now-jason-aaron.html
Here's Jason Aaron's exact quote about that:

"I do flash back and show a young Thor in action, but he's actually just one of three Thors that I want to focus on, "Arron tells Newsarama. "This first story is an epic tale that plays out over the course of thousands of years. So we spend time with young Thor in the Viking age — the young, hotheaded god of the Vikings, who loves to come down to Midgard and get into trouble. In the present, we see Thor the Avenger on a journey that takes him to the far corners of space, interacting with all sorts of new space gods and wondrous new locations.

"And then we also see old King Thor, who's the last king of Asgard, thousands of years in the future, where something has gone horribly, horribly wrong.

"Linking all these eras and Thors together is one villain, an all-new character [Gorr, the God Butcher], who is basically, at least initially, a serial killer of gods. He's a guy with a serious axe to grind against all immortal beings in the cosmos, and he's going around doing his best to kill them all off, one at a time, as brutally as possible. That villain's story unfolds over the course of all these different eras. He starts as a serial killer of gods, but by the end, he has become something even more frightening."

It sounds great, sign me up for this book too.
