The Official Thor thread

Yeah, he'd rule. He'd just need to stop redesigning everything and making Loki snaggletoothed. Jo Chen would also be quite awesome if we're talking painters.

Yeah, Jo Chen is amazing. Marvel needs to find a miniseries project for her. Her last Runaways cover was astoundingly good.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know if Chen would do a mini-series. Has she done any interior art at all? I figured she was just a really good painter that comic companies managed to snag for covers.

Yeah, she's done interiors. She did the 3 issue Racer X mini for WildStorm. She's also done a Dark Minds mini, among other things. Her sister Christina is a very talented artist in her own right, and Jo has painted overtop of pencils on different projects.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Marvel really should find her a mini-series, then.

 

[PhotoJones]

Indeed.

 

[sandwraith]

I'm vaguely surprised. I would have thought that her semi-anime/manga style would be a put-off to most Western comic book fans especially on an American comic. TO my knowledge I think she's working on a Devil May Cry project for TokyoPop or Viz or UDON. Can never remember which

 

[CaptainCanada]

I think I would cry if Cho drew an issue of Thor.

What if it was a one-shot focussing on Sif and the Enchantress?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd much rather see Greg Land or Adam Hughes draw it.

I don't normally like anime styles too much, but a few artists with such a style, like UDON and Jo Chen, impress me enough that I like them anyway.

Which is why her interiors are done in Japanese or Japanese-inspired properties.

Frank Cho. Thor is in need of some awesome jugs.

((((((((Shudder))))))))))


And not in a "good way".

.
I can't see it.

My mind refuses to formulate the image of "Cho drawn" Enchantress.

 

[Kitsune]

That's what Thor Girl is for...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Don't get my hopes up.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Tarene is okay.

Valkyrie's more my speed.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

I did not like Tarene as Thor girl. I thought it was a bit too contrived to have a female version. I do like Valkyrie, Sif and the others though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd like to see Tarene be brought into Asgard and learn some Asgardian ways, myself. Once Sif returns, get her to train Tarene instead of those Initiative *****ebags.

But running 10 miles without throwing up is a key exercise in superhero training.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Tarene should be able to run 100 miles without a problem, given that she's got the physiology of an Asgardian goddess. Really, she should be laughing her way through everything the Initiative throws at her. She's got the body and powers of a goddess. Mere mortal exercises can't compare.

I really hope Slott gives us some insight at what the **** exactly is the purpose of all this training.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's to prepare them for being superheroes. Superheroes who run and follow orders really well.

 

[Darthphere]

Corpy, why is Simonson wasting his time writing a World of Warcraft comic?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Same reason Oeming is wasting time on a second-string Thor like Beta Ray Bill: Marvel is allergic to great Thor comics.

 

[PhotoJones]

I'll admit, Simonson doing the World of Warcraft comic book piqued my interest. The art doesn't look bad, either.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Huh, the art really is pretty good. Looks like Joe Madureira and Chris Bachalo's lovechild.

 

[PhotoJones]

Yeah. I highly doubt I'll be convinced enough to actually buy this, but a good in store flip through might happen.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I wouldn't buy it because I don't play WoW, and the story is supposed to tie intricately into the game somehow. No real point in reading the story if I'm not playing the game.
