> You skipped the part where Thor and Odin laughed their asses off at Loki’s predicament. Really makes the story, by putting the Gods of Legend in stark relief to their Marvel Comics reputations.

True. Although I think Neil Gaiman got Thor down pretty well in Sandman, when he’s trying to impress a chick by offering to show her his hammer – which gets bigger when he rubs it.

Thor’s never really come across as a guy who speaks in "Yea, verily"s. Although the addition of Kirby dots _did_ smarten up his look quite a bit…

I dont buy from her online, I buy from her locally at SCA events.

I have no idea of shipping costs, I think the last time I actually mailed anything other than a letter was like 10 years ago=\

> Ooh! Ooh! Tell them the story about how Thor and the rest of the Avengers outmaneuvered Kang the Conqueror to make Mantis the Celestial Messiah! And they traveled through time and learned the origins of the Kree-Skrull war and the Watcher’s Blue City on the Moon! 🙂

You know, when the radioactive mutant star goat arrives to destroy the earth and I’m ferrying away a select group of survivors to colonize a new planet…you’re NOT getting a ticket.
