The mysterious Malekith strikes Thor's world, but comics genius Walter Simonson won't let that storyline proceed in a predictible way. No, Thor #345 contains a pretty brilliant set of head-fakes which leads the reader to believe this issue is going to present one story when in fact it presents something very different. Amir and Jason explore and have a lot of fun with Simonson's unconventional approach. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/support

Amir and Jason are back exploring the story of Walter Simonson's Thor, this week delving into the complex question of Whatever Happened to Balder the Brave? Yeah, Balder was dead and then got reborn and got fat and kind of lazy, but what happens when Balder is asked by Odin to go on a quest to bring a message to Loki? Some interesting shenanigans ensue. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/support

When you have a friend who's feeling old and run down, what better way is there to cheer him up than to have him fight a Godzilla style monster? Walt Simonson answers that question in the latest breathless issue of his epic Thor run! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/support

The guys' read of Thor continues with issue 342 - "The Last Viking!" In which Thor gets a psychic signal and goes to the secret land below the ice. Meanwhile Lorelei schemes, the DOOM hammer keeps falling, and Surtur is ready to attack New York City. Oh yeah, and Terry Austin takes over the inking chores for an issue and gives things a different - but similar - feel. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/support

Amir rejoins Jason as the guys continue their look at Walter Simonson's masterful Thor run, this time wrapping up the Beta Ray Bill saga with the terrifically exciting Thor #340. This issue has it all! Space battles! Giant monsters! Strong, tough women! And Fandrall sitting on a hapless rebel. Join the guys for a fun chat about a great comic. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/support

The issue title may be sad, but the actual comic is awesome. This week Amir and Jasoon dig deep into Thor 341, the issue with that great title, in which we learn about Nick Fury's family, about Thor's broad shoulders, and about all kinds of nefarious plans to hurt Thor in the future. It's another barnburner, and the guys go on a few tangents as they dig deep into this amazing issue. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classiccomics/support

As Amir and Jason dig deeper into the Beta Ray Bill saga in Thor, they find Walt Simonson hitting on all cylinders as he delivers the devastating effects of a battle, shows the power of Sif (and her conflicting emotions), and shows how a hammer is forged!
