IIRC he was never the writer, just the artist.

I remember one sequence where he was telling the editor that Cap wouldn't act a certain way and the editor was all "Jeez why do the artists always think they should write too" which was a lot funnier a few years later when Image was founded

Or just the way Stan Lee was with his artists when they did all the heavy lifting

Stan Lee did his share of heavy lifting. For example on early Fantastic Four, and late Kirby's Wife.

Thor has had some low points over the years, but maaan, when writers remember he's a god and treat him like it, nobody, and I mean nobody out badasses him in the entire MU.

My favorite Thor moment is at the end of the Godzilla series, where he and Big G have a battle of strength, with Godzilla trying to push over the Empire State Building, and Thor holding it up from the other side, alone--and Godzilla is the one to flinch.

Though that moment is a close second to earlier in the series when Hercules manages to throw Godzilla. When Godzilla's foot alone is ten times his size.

So lots of people are talking about Marvel vampires in the funny panels thread, but this doesn't fit over there.

This is how the real badasses of the marvel universe deal with vampires. I refer, of course, to Pete Wisdom and the rest of MI-13.

Dracula has a massive legion of vampires on the moon. He's taken out the only thing that can prevent his armies from reaching the UK, and in doing so has turned Spitfire. His scouts come prepare for landing.

Yes, he did just carpet-bomb Dracula's scouts with holy water. Because when you're the head of the UK equivalent of SHIELD, you can do that kinda poo poo.

That isn't the end of it (for reasons that are spoiler-y, and you really should read this arc). The vampires are still coming.

Hercules once staggered Galactus with a punch in a What If, which he should probably consider his 13th labor.

Wasn't Galactus drunk as gently caress at the time? So drunk he took his helmet off?

I swear that happened in a comic somewhere, I remember reading it and I'm not smart enough to make something like that up.

Not sure where this comes from, but sounds like what you're thinking of:

Although the mention of "recorded" at the end makes me think it's Bob Layton's Hercules mini from the '80s when he had the Recorder hanging out with him. (Or was it Machine Man? No, I think it was the Recorder.) Basically, Hercules and his trusty sidekick travel throughout the universe, having goofy adventures. Great fun.

Mr. Maltose: Feb 16, 2011; The Guffless Girlverine

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was a What-If where Swordsman gets effortlessly vaporized by Galactus and that causes Hercules to go berserk and go at him.

Went to the library today. First thing in the graphic novel section, the start of Aaron's 2014 run on Thor. Have to grab the rest off Hoopla or something, but I've been inspired. I had no idea that Jason Aaron was doing anything other than Southern Bastards, though I should've known.

That's how he looked for the first decade of his existence or so. The Funko Pop proportions are a modern take on the character.

Dick Trauma: Nov 30, 2007; God damn it, you've got to be kind.

Godammit Watcher you are the worst Watcher ever. More watching, less hitting Galactus. Leave that to weirdos like Sphinx.

I also like the statement that he's not a god... but oh yeah he happens to be [b]THE ALL[./b]

But not a god.

EDIT: Oh man, I think H.E.R.B.I.E. was in that issue! :downs:

You are at the beginning of a wonderful journey. First things first: Jason Aaron's run on Thor began in 2012 with God of Thunder. The 2014-onward stuff is perfectly enjoyable without it, but as the title of this very thread will tell you, you'll be missing out hard if you skip God of Thunder. Seriously some of the best comics ever. Be sure to also pick up his runs on Ghost Rider and Wolverine and the X-Men.

Well, I also activated Hoopla today. Which feels like the world greatest piracy site, except it's totally legal :toot:

Should let me read God of Thunder as well, though I also want to read Nailbiter. Luckily the month is almost over, so I can reload pretty quick.

It's trades on Hoopla, right? It's only 4 or 5 trades before Jane Thor takes over.

# ? Mar 28, 2017 01:31

Shovelmint: Apr 22, 2004; Lipstick Apathy

Yeah, it's trades, but sometimes I can also get deluxe editions or omnibii.

edit: Just not of Marvel's Thor, looks like Marvel doesn't have anything on Hoopla? Tons of Image though. Guess Marvel doesn't want the poors to enjoy their back catalogue. So I'll have to look elsewhere I guess. All of Nailbiter except the final trade is on Hoopla, though. Since I own the final issue in print because the cover was terrifying, only 4 issues to track down to read the entire story.

Just remember that this is the perception of Galactus from the human mind and not his actual form. In actuality both he and likely The Watcher look entirely different and possibly not even something that can be rendered in standard euclidean space. Galactus is always perceived buy races as their most feared object. It's possible that the Watcher perceives Galactus in a Way Beyond the comprehension of mere mortals.

Galactus symbolises the conservative right's innate fear of powerfully muscled gay men dressed up for a pride march.
