If you haven't been reading the new Thor title (and shame on you if you haven't) then you missed the fact that Asgard is now located smack dab in the middle of Oklahoma (actually it appears to be located in the western part of the state, near Elk City...like you know where that is).
That's right, Oklahoma. California only rated the West Coast Avengers but we get an Asgardian God. See, good things happen to people who shoot rock salt at propane tanks...

Anyhoo, here's the article in case you care to read it. I also wrote up a short review in my latest 'zine.

You can have Thor -- here in Kansas, we claim Superman as one of our own. That's right, fellas, Superman is a JAYHAWK.
Now, do you really think Superman could beat Thor? Thor? He's a friggin' GOD, for crying out loud! Superman is ultimately just genetically enhanced...plus there's that whole "Supes has trouble with magic" thing and guess what hammer shaped engine of destruction just happens to be magic? That's right, Mjolnir. So, one big smack upside the head (plus a few lighting strikes for good measure) and Thor is carrying Lois back to his new Asgardian/Oklahoman digs for a little wenching and carousing.
Hey, Sweeten
Have you ever said the words:
"Yeah, that's cool."
Rather than:
"You Suck because what you like isn't as cool as what I like and what you like should be smashed with a magical hammer! Slobber, drool, etc"
Sometimes agreeing to disagree is boring, but balance is key. And may just avoid comments about shooting propane tanks and the like....might be something to look into.
Hey Brad:
No, the comic book geek in me can never resist a potential "who can take who in a fight" scenerio. Futher, we're talking about two fictional characters. It's not like I'm talking trash on someone's wife.
And does your inner child gain peace and contentment in finding fault in others? Or is it just me?
Okay, that last comment came off in a fit of pique...let's see if I can manage a more nuanced (i.e, adult) response.
Evidently the geek quotient is running low around here as my comment in response to Seth's "Superman is a JAYHAWK" was intended to be in a more humorous, comic book vein than critique on Seth or Seth's opinion. I was trying to evoke something of those endless "Iron Man vs. The X-Men" letters that ran in Wizard years back (apparently I failed miserably). What I wasn't doing nor attempting to do was to suggest that Seth did not have a valid opinion regarding Superman (indeed the thrust of my comment regarded the outcome of a fight between Supes and Thor. Nowhere did I say or infer that Seth was inferior for liking Superman or the fact that Supes was from Kansas).
Did you read my MCs to Marlan in response to his comments about my tastes in music? Because I pretty much said the same thing to him in regards to those aforementioned comments. And to do the same thing Marlan did to someone else would be the ultimate hypocrisy (and I'm many things, but a hypocrite is not one of them).
So, if I came off as an arrogant piece of work, I duly apologize. I can't say it wasn't my intent to be pithy ('cause at the time it prolly was...your comments struck me as being very negative and personal) but after taking a few moments to reflect I realized that I could have responded in a much better fashion (hence this post).
