If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Sorry, I don't find Grimdark Volstagg badass at all, it's just kinda depressing and poo poo.

Odin making a murder machine to circumvent fate only for it to fail miserably is totally in keeping with the eddas.

Then "War Thor" is a redundant title, like War Ares would be. There's no universe in which War Thor doesn't suck.

It makes sense when there's 2 Thors running around (Ignoring Spider-Men, Hawkeyes and Wasps, and I guess now Hulks since She-Hulk dropped the "She")

"The devil" is probably distinct from Lucifer. Haven't read nearly as many Constantine books as I should have though, so who knows.

Funny, though I was thinking in particular of one of the all-time great Hellblazer stories, which hinges on there being three co-rulers of hell, who I think have that position in the absence of Lucifer "Actually The Devil" Morningstar, who went off to run a bar or whatever.

I like Vertigo.

It's a bit complicated, but basically at some point Ennis said "No, this one devil guy is The Enemy for real, the coalition was just a trick god played on them".

Hellblazer has a ton of writers going "Nah that was BS" about previous writers' cosmology and world-building, but somehow that seems appropriate for a book about a con man.

Hellblazer is the oral history passed down by Constantine while he's drinking to forget.

That Devil is The Adversary. He's distinct from the Lucifer in Sandman, but for the purposes of this story you can just think of him as the main The Devil.
