Movie Review-THOR

Thor Review and artwork by ZEES...

First off, I gotta say that I love superhero movies for the simple fact that I always wanted to see these characters in live- action…The coolest moment when I was 6, I got the whole series of the live-action Spiderman TV show on bootleg VHS.  It didn’t have any of the actual Spiderman villains in it.  Just mobsters.  I was happy with it because it was all that was out there.  He was a superhero dropped into a non-comics universe; it was the best I got.  But if you got a movie like Thor, a summer blockbuster, with all those fancy special effects, you have to introduce this character to a broader audience.

PREVIEW- CHEW #27 (yeah, it's from the fuuuutuuuure!)

 Because a comic about a world where the federal government has banned the consumption of poultry (ostensibly as the result of the bird flu epidemic, but there remain serious doubts about that), that stars federal agent Tony Chu (who psychicly  senses the entire history of anything he eats) isn't quite weird enough, CHEW creators John Layman and Rob Guillory have fast-forward their award-winning comic to issue 27. Incidentally, it also stars Agent Chu's twin sister Toni...

PREVIEW: GhettoManga Luke Cage tribute issue
