I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


There was a demon Etrigan was friends with in Swamp Thing who was new to the rhyming thing and he was awful at it. It was pretty great.

I liked the bit in Morrison's jla where there's little weaker demons practicing rhyming in case they get promoted.

Constantine has done a lot to gently caress up Chas' life (including getting him possessed by a demon). I wasn't a superfan of the tv-show but one thing I liked was Constantine making Chas immortal because he was drunk and thought it would be funny.

So I recently reread God of Thunder and.. I'm kind of curious to keep reading. What in the name of poo poo do I read now? This is a very confusing run to follow along with.

I don't know exactly where the timeline slots together, but The Mighty Thor follows on from God of Thunder and it's extremely good.

Original Sin
Original Sin: Thor & Loki (this is also listed as Original Sin #5.1-5.5, so I have no idea how it would be listed in Marvel Unlimited if that's what you're reading)
Thor
Secret Wars: Thors
The Mighty Thor (The Unworthy Thor fits in here somewhere, too)

This is probably why Marvel should stop rebooting their titles ever 2 years.

In general, yeah, but I think this one was at least somewhat justified as Thor was following a different character. Relaunching Thor as The Mighty Thor made less sense.

Rhaka posted:

Original Sin: Thor and Loki is grouped with the Original Sin mini on Marvel Unlimited, it's ordered by publication date, so if you're just going through you'll be alternating between the main series and the Thor Loki specific stuff, but that's fine, it's how people read it while it was coming out, and if you like the main mini it'd be pretty jarring to take a 5 issue detour right after the start of the second half.

And if you can cram that all in a couple of days you can be there for Jason Aaron's Avengers, starring Thor, which starts this week.
...and then another series of Thor next month.

It's been posted in the touching panels thread, but there's a really good short story taking place during Empire where Vader is in a room with the disassembled pieces of C3PO and has a flashback to working on him with his mother. It's mainly remembered for an awesome panel after the flashback of Vader silently holding C3PO's forehead against his own.

Also, someone should post the pages from the Vader ongoing where Boba Fett told him, "Hey, found out the name of that kid that blew up your Death Star. Skywalker. Anyway, bye!" and Vader doesn't take it too well.
