Thor Opens a Can of Whoop-Ass

Thor versus Iron-Man.

because JMS can actually write a great story if he puts his mind to it, after all.

and if you thought that was Tony Stark at his most pathetic and powerless…

Thor. Bad-ass. GOD.

Who would have expected it? Worth the long wait, and the clone garbage, after all.

Manolis Vamvounis
a.k.a. Dr. Dooplove

ah, the good old Dr Manolis, the original comics Greek. He's been at this for sometime. he was there when the Comics Nexus was founded, he even gave it its name, he even used to run it for a couple of years. he's been writing about comics, geeking out incessantly and interviewing busier people than himself for over ten years now and has no intention of stopping anytime soon.
