THE IMMORTAL THOR #1 - Is Al Ewing Writing A Superman Comic?
The '70s vibes were solid too.
Happy New Comic Book Day!
IMMORTAL THOR #1 hits your local comic shop today from Marvel Comics. Thor has a new/old suit, and there are some ‘7os vibes with the art and writing. Plus, I never looked at Thor through a Superman lens before, thanks Al Ewing. Check out my full review below.
This new series is written by Al Ewing, with art by Martín Cóccolo, Matt Wilson drops the colors, and you will read Joe Sabino's letter work.
About the series:
In Norse myths, they called him Thunderer. Vuer has he been called, and Hloriddi. The Gods know him as Asgard’s King, keeper of Mjolnir, hero of the tales. When injustice grips the Earth and ancient powers bring down the sky, he fights for those who cannot—and when the tale is done, we will know what that cost him. This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR. PLUS: A bonus page written by Jonathan Hickman—WHO ARE THE G.O.D.S.?
Indie Comics Creator Con
Indie Comics Creator Con (IC3), a comic book convention focusing on creators and the people who support independent art and ideas. The event will take place at Southern Connecticut State University, which has a great ballroom for our 80+ creators and a 200-seat theater for our panels. I hope you can join me on Saturday, March 9, 2024.
Tickets go on sale on August 29th via Kickstarter. If you want to be part of Artist Alley, submit your application here: IC3 Artist Alley.
More details on guests and panels will drop after the Kickstarter campaign.
The IC3 logo was created by Sam J Royale.
What Happened To Social Media?
As I prep for the Indie Comics Creator Con, I wrote down all my social media handles, and it is insane.

KILL MORE #1
KILL MORE #1 from IDW Publishing hits your local comic book shop on September 13. Scott Bryan Wilson writes the 10-issue thriller, with art by Max Alan Fuchs, and Valentina Briški drops the colors.
About the series:
The city of Colonia is suffering from total economic collapse, but worse than the unemployment and urban decay is the skyrocketing homicide rate. Most of the few cops left on the force think it's just another symptom of the city's decline, but one detective has a darker theory... that the most depraved killers in the country have all moved here to take advantage of the chaos. As he and his new partner dig deeper into their rapidly growing list of open cases, they'll find themselves in the crosshairs of a growing group of maniacs who realize that the best way to stay ahead of the cops in a city full of killers... is to kill more. Nothing can prepare you for Lady Facesmasher, The Sufferer, The Obituary Machine-and worse. Lock your doors and journey into the mouth of madness!
What comics are you reading this week?
Best of lucks with the convention!
I will be treating myself to some Death Transit Tanager from Karl Kerschl, and from there BPRD The Black Flame.
It will get spooky
