A lot worse than endanger! The Kree and Shi'ar are using a wormhole near Earth's sun to move materiel for their big space war. But every time the wormhole opens, it destabilizes the sun causing it release larger and larger solar flares which will eventually kill all life on earth. The Avengers have told the Kree and Shi'ar this, and they do not care.

I remember reading IG before I knew who he was and being confused as hell when he has one line about how noone must know he isn't the real Thor and then it's never brought up again

It's kind of funny how Starlin clearly had no idea about Masterson as Thor until around issue #3 of Infinity Gauntlet. There's a letter balloon in one panel in #2 that was visibly thrown in by editorial at the last minute where Eric's thinking, "better not tell anybody I'm not the real Thor."

Sandman #22 (1991)

I was curious what Lucifer was talking about here, so I looked it up, and the characterization is surprisingly close to Gaiman's.

Wow. Kinda funny how Gwen C's take in the show looks more like the version in Etrigan than The Sandman itself.

So to be clear, in The Sandman, Etrigan and presumably the rest of the DCU, you've got Lucifer, Belial, and Beelzebub running things and it's just Hellblazer that has the 3 dime store KO versions,? Well, until the First kills the other two anyway.

They are absolutely different cosmologies, they have similarities, but since they're both based on Biblical apocrypha that's gonna happen but there's no way to sensibly reconcile the events of Seasons of Mists with Rake at the Gates of Hell.

Yeah, but it doesn't make any sense, I consider it a reference to the other one not an actual attempt to reconcile them.

Avengers Forever #8: On an alternate earth, Thor is unworthy and the Masters of Evil have won. He cannot wield Mjolnir but it floats behind him all the time, as though mocking him. At one point he comes across K'un L'un (where Iron Fists are trained), which is decimated aside from its guardian, Lei Kung.

I can see the appeal of the concept on a surface level (which is usually about as far as it goes with Aaron stuff) but kung fu Thor is a bit like kung fu Spider-Man in that it feels like sugarcoating something that was already sweet and high in calories

I like that a lot, it's a little bittersweet how most of the retellings of Thor involve taking his hammer away from him somehow or other but that's kind of the problem with the basic Thor story anyway
