Radio Free Asgard

Happy Holidays, everyone! This episode, we have a look at The Mighty Thor #210, where we find out that Gerry Conway keeps track of his Norse lore about as well as I do, and learn that uru can be magnetized! Plus, the return of everyone's favorite troll!

360?? It's a full circle, and a mythology episode, as we return to Gaiman's Norse Mythology to cover "The Death of Balder"!! This episode includes the gods throwing things at people for fun, an oddly familiar giantess, and the gratuitous death of a random dwarf...  

This week, Thor heads over to England looking for Sif, and with kibbitzing from some egregiously stereotypical Brits, fights the eeevil Demon Druid! (yet another blue skinned baddie - is this a trend?) - Blimey!

It's The Mighty Thor #208 this week, as Thor (and ever so conveniently the Warriors Three, off-panel) goes up against the ridiculous Mercurio! Plus Thor yells at Jarvis, Hildegard yells at Thor, and apparently Tony Stark has tech that can spy on Asgard...  

It's Halloweeeeeen, everyone! And to celebrate this spooky occasion, we cover The Mighty Thor #207, coincidentally a Halloween issue, and an unofficial Marvel/DC crossover! Thor's battle with Absorbing Man leads to a confrontation with none other than the eeeeevil Loki! Mwahahah!

This week we have a look at The Mighty Thor #356! Thor mopes and watches TV! The Warriors Three go camping! Sif and Hildegard fight the Absorbing Man! Plus we get to visit Vermont! Plus, the return of....???

This week we look at The Mighty Thor #205! That diabolical devil, Mephisto, has kidnapped Thor & company, taken them to Hell! Thor fights Ernest Borgnine, and demons who are afraid of fire! Plus, what happened to the supporting cast?

This week we look at Thor #204, starting off an all-new storyline, as Odin decides to be a dick (take a drink!) and exiles Thor and company to Earth! (again???) - This week we have Tana Nile touching herself, a silent hissing monster, an oddly off-model Iron Man, and more!

This week it's Thor #203, featuring the introduction of a 'New' set of 'Gods', Volstagg following a creepy little girl into a basement, "The Game", casual sexism, and an ending of sorts to the Ego Prime storyline... check it out!

This week it's back to 1972, as we pick up where we left off, and cover The Mighty Thor #202! Thor and company are reunited with Sif's merry band as their combined forces fight primary-colored gloopy people, giant ants, and... Ego Prime! Plus, Heimdal is up to something in Earth!

This week we cover "Thor and Hymir's Fishing Expedition" as adapted by Neil Gaiman in his "Norse Mythology" - It's a familiar tale of gods, giants, oxen, giant oxen, fishing, giant fish, regular sized goats, and a giant cauldron! Nuff said!

In this episode, we wrap up Hercules Unbound once and for all! (and there was much rejoicing!) Does the series go out with a bang? Or a whimper? Both? The answer may surprise you!

This week we cover the penultimate issue of Hercules Unbound! This time, Hercules fights Barney the Dinosaur, we lose another cast member, and we finally get to see some Simonson art shining through the drek! Plus the mystery of the Anti-Gods! Don't miss it! 

This week our rapidly shrinking gang of misfits teams up with the Atomic Knights to resolve a dangling plot from OMAC, as we take a look at Hercules Unbound #10. This issue has not only one, but two off-panel deaths, giant Dalmatians, and an implausibly small Great Lake...

This week we look at Hercules Unbound #9! This issue involves a flying comb and robots made of Play-doh! Also, weird hand gestures, and an old lady starting WWIII!! Also, a listener tells us what he thought of Avengers: Endgame! Nuff Said!

This week we take a break from silly Hercules comics and give our review of Avengers: Endgame! There are spoilers, spoilers and more spoilers galore! Also corn flakes.

Another fortnight gone by, and now it's time for Hercules Unbound #8. Have David Michelinie and Walt Simonson created an underrated masterpiece of sequential storytelling, or is this just a kind of lame 1970's DC comic? This issue has Tweetie bird's owner assaulting our heroes, Hercules leaving one of his friends to drown, an early holodeck, and of course, lots of T&A!! 

Because no one demanded it! This week we head back to 1976 and commence the second half of our coverage of DC's Hercules Unbound with issue #7! This one has solid electricity, Not-The-Loch-Ness-Monster, Scottish Greeks, and Walt Simonson!

This week we unexpectedly cover Thor v2 #41! In the aftermath of the epic battle with Surtur, we have a test of the Emergency Dead Allfather Broadcast System. This is only a test!

This week we start off with "The Story of Gerd and Frey", courtesy of Neil Gaiman's "Norse Mythology", followed up by my convention report from C2E2 2019!! This episode contains overspending, a golden boar, Russell Dauterman, a bunch of giants, Esad Ribic, gay erotica, Valhalla, original comic art, and a sword that fights by itself! (not necessarily in that order...) Music courtesy of Adrian Van Ziegler
