after eyeing this topic for a few days i have seen the light.  this run on Thor can only be appreciated by guys who fancy themselves in a homeless man's beard.  and even though it's not drawn by Jim Lee, I still respect the art.  nothing compared to that horrid 60s and 70s junk.  but i'll get my mythology from the new Hobbit movie.  after all, i kinda like seeing Earth's heroes on...Earth.  Thor's solo issues really ain't worth my time anyway.  Somewhere around Avengers #279: She-Hulk: "Thor's so powerful and easy to look at.  Why doesn't he lead the Avengers?"  Black Knight: "Could anyone stand to be ordered around by a guy who talks like that?  And he's not the sharpest tool in the box.  Don't you think he should get a little more mileage out of that god blast?  Hey Kang, would you rather taste this dinky mallet or the fire of a thousand suns??"
