PRESS RELEASE – “THE ROBERTS” CONTINUES THE TALE OF TWO OF AMERICA’S MOST NOTORIOUS SERIAL MURDERERS! The Boston Strangler and Zodiac Killer are alive and well, living in a retirement community among the old and dying. 13 May 2008 (Berkeley, CA) - For decades, the identities of the Boston Strangler and the Zodiac Killer have been shrouded in mystery. But this August, Image Comics/Shadowline reveals not only the identities of these two prolific killers, but also how they’re spending their golden years of life. THE ROBERTS hits store shelves courtesy of artist Erik Rose and writer Wayne Chinsang. “I admit, I’ve always had a morbid fascination with serial murderers,” said writer Wayne Chinsang, also known to the world by his real name, Justin Shady. “When Denis Rader (BTK) finally got caught in 2005 I remember thinking, ‘What if this guy had never been caught? What would he be like as an eighty-year-old man? Or as a grandfather? How long could someone like him go on living a lie, trying to blend in when he so clearly doesn’t?’ Those thoughts were the start of THE ROBERTS.” But instead of BTK, Chinsang chose two murderers who many believe were never caught: the Boston Strangler and the Zodiac Killer. In THE ROBERTS, the killers find themselves immersed in a world of bingo tournaments and social tea hours as they trade “war stories” about what they refer to as the “Golden Age” of mass murder. But camaraderie can also have a dark side as both men still crave the one thing they feel they’ve missed out on: infamy. THE ROBERTS #1, a two-issue, 48-page, black-and-white mini-series for $5.99, will be in stores August 6th.
above [L to R]:Karen Wemborn & Jo Wheeler Obviously I had to get to the Classical Comics table. After all,I was on a promise of three cups of coffee. Do I take coffee too seriously? Heck no -it is a very important matter. And not being petty I won’t mention I never got the promised coffees..it’s now up to 4 cups with interest! erm. Anyhow,it was great to meet the team and Karen Wemborn and Jo Wheeler showed me some of the preview items -A Christmas Carol looks incredible! But there were also samples of the educational packs available to schools. I think that,like Cinebook,the success of Classical Comics over this last weekend is down to the sheer quality of their books. The table was busy and the teams enthusiasm was near -but not quite- as high as Olivier Cadic’s! I think that those who have not seen the great Henry V and MacBeth books are missing out. And if you miss Frankenstein and Christmas Carol or any of this Summers releases then you are insane. Nuts. crackers. Two bananas short of a bunch. An ice cube in a bath a…get the point? You can check out the site at: http://www.classicalcomics.com/ It was nice to talk to Nigel Dobbyn briefly about his 1980s Small Press work,Billy The Cat and his Classical Comics works. It was even nicer to talk to Jon Haward,probably one of the most under-rated UK comic artists. Why Marvel UK publish his work but not Marvel US is a mystery to me as his style would fit the Marvel Adventures titles perfectly. Jon’s portfolio was full of incredible art and I came away with a signed poster,sketch and original page of art -they are going on my wall. Luckily,Classical Comics spot talent! And Frankenstein artist Declan Shalvey was also on hand. below[L to R]:Declan Shalvey,Nigel Dobbyn & Jon Haward 
Hopefully,the team might get a panel at the 2009 Expo? In the meantime check out their web site and try to catch up with them at the BICS event later this Summer. British comics are back!
“WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ALL THE HEROES ?” HERO KILLERS Moonface Press One-Shot by Andy Winter(writer)& Declan Shalvey(Artist) 36 pages B&W Comic £2.50/$3.99 Okay, this is something Mister Hooper got a hold of at the Bristol Expo, and graciously passed onto me to review as punishment no doubt for not reviewing Septic Isle as I said I would around a month ago. Firstly, I don’t know how available this is as it would seem that it was originally published in Spring 2006(well. I’ve got this copy, so obviously, you can still get hold of it). Anyway, this as stated in the introduction, is a complete one-off, self-contained story. It’s about a group of super-criminals who seem to have set themselves up as a kind of Assasination Bureau for criminals who need the local super- do-gooder hindering their activities taken out of the equation. Imagine some costumed villians set themselves up on the Enterprize Allowance Scheme or Prince’s Trust- they’ve got a van, a nice line in Powerpoint Presentations PR to Villain Conferences, and some nifty Logo and costumes. Like a bad-guy A-Team really. I actually really like Andy Winter’s premise here, it’s quite funny, although I don’t think he’s being tongue in cheek, but it’s a neat little idea. Indeed, it’s certainly one with a degree of mileage beyond this one-shot issue. One could imagine a Nasty A-Team-cum Marshall Law type plot developing here, with them having to eliminate an annoying Super-goody each issue. I’m all for that. As it is, in this story our Anti-heroes are hired to take down the best costumed hero in Sulphur City, Bronze Eagle, who seems the archetypical tiresome super bore. Story-wise, the whole thing glides along well, with some nice, simple flashbacks that hint at the relationship between our two main characters, a neat introduction with a somewhat absurd hero, that also has some significance in the ending, and some good dialogue exchanges throughout that keep the pace of the story ticking over nicely. My only real problem is that the one-off nature of the story hinders its resolution, which, (without giving anything away) I felt was slightly abrupt, and didn’t allow for an explanation of something that happens to a character at the end. Also, because this has potential, there are certainly ideas and characters here that definitely lend themselves to further exploration beyond this one-shot. Added to Andy Winter’s neat story ideas, Declan Shalvey does a very good job of the artwork here. All the characters are well delinated and considered, he has a sure, confident clear line, and some very well designed and balanced page layouts that move the story along at a good pace. If anything, his artwork would certainly benefit from the addition of colour, but he handles and balances his black and white contrasts very effectively, and has very strong compositional skills throughout his panels. It’s also good to see some of Declan’s preliminary character and page design/layouts reprinted at the back of the comic(something I always enjoy seeing, an artists working process revealed). I will certainly be interested in seeing his work develop, an artist who definitely has the potential to go places, in my humble opinion. So, in conclusion, a comic I was pleasantly suprised by, and definitely one that if Moonface were looking for a potential ongoing title, is well worth considering(despite the obvious problem due to the story ending).My one minor quibble is a rather weak cover that doesn’t do justice to the evident talent of Declan’s interior work. Mind you, that makes a change-a comic with a bad cover and good interior artwork, as opposed to what I feel is the usual reverse equation.Yes, I am that hard to please. I’d better go and listen to Bone Machine again…a very good idea you guys ! Paul “Superhero-Hater” Brown And you can visit the publisher’s site at: http://www.moonfacepress.com/
I’ve already said how this years Expo had a great buzz about it. However,if one person personified that Buzz it was Olivier Cadic of Cinebook! It was great to see,after 20+ years of telling people that European albums can sell in the UK,a man who proved the point beyond doubt! Olivier has a publishing plan and is in for the long haul. The number of books on his table this year was fantastic to see and I have to say that it was good to see others just as enthusiastic. 2009 will see more books added to the range and this one man ball of energy and enthusiasm looks unstoppable. I have to admit that I got almost as excited about how things were going as Olivier! Not surprisingly,Vehlmann & Bodart’s “Green Manor” sold out! The art is superb and I guess that shows tastes have improved amongst some comic fans in the UK! In fact,not one single title failed to sell and I just hope that this means we might get some European creators over for future Expoes. And the success for Cinebook is not just in the UK but also overseas. And the success is well deserved because Olivier has gotten some of the top-selling European creators and books and had them translated into English for the first time. I noticed that quite a few of the guests were also buying Cinebook albums. If you have not seen the Cinebook catalogue or purchased their books you can see a great deal at their site. Visit. Buy and enjoy! www.cinebook.com
ITCH 56pp b&w/grey tones £3.50 [check re. p&p] It was nice toeventually catch up with Willie Hewes at the Expo and buying this comic was one of the few exceptions I made to my “I DO NOT buy review copies” policy. I think that regulars will be aware we mentioned this book a while back -but it is now in print. Willie wrote “The Witch” which was illustrated by Karen Rubins who I last met with her sister a good while back when they were producing DARK. Witch hunt,shape-shifting and more is what you’ll find her. It is well written -as if Ms Hewes writes badly!- and Karen’s artwork has really developed since the days of DARK -a nice use of black and grey tones. A nice read. “Fix-a-Heart” is both written and drawn by Willie. What is it about? Well,to quote the book:”..a light-hearted comedy about heartbreak and pain. Says it all really” After the incident on the second page I thought “light-hearted?” but then the Hewes magic kicks in. Wonderful. Gwen Kortsen,of whom I know little,writes “Shinagami”. To sum it up “Shinji the Shinagami,who saves the world with pretzels and toilet rolls..” It is quite funny and Karen is the artist on this strip -even better art than in “The Witch”! It’s a very nice book that Manga or general comic fans should enjoy. And you can find out more at the ITCH web site: www.ITCHpublishing.com Incidentally,there is a very slight delay to Willie’s collected Amaranth book as more is being added to make it the ultimate collection! Worth the wait I think you’ll find. Please,give The Witch a try if you normally only buy US comics and I’m sure you’ll not regret it.
I think that it was at the Classical Comics table that I met Martyn Parkinson. In fact,I met quite a few people at the Classical Comics table! If I remember correctly the unrecognised star of British comics,Jon Haward,pointed Martyn in my direction. Martyn had with him copies of a 16pp,full colour,glossy dummy issue of Mask. The hope is that,if he can get backing,the magazine would be the complete printed source for comic fans. The dummy covers “Secret Invasion”,comic-related movie features focussing on the likes of Iron Man,The Dark Knight,The Incredible Hulk and Hellboy II. Other articles explain Ms Marvel;her origins and more,a look at Classical Comics and more. The package is high quality -paid for by Parkinson to show what can be done. I think that I have written and said many,many times that what the UK is desperately lacking on the news stands or in speciality stores is a quality comic-based genre publication. The United States and European countries [and countries beyond] have their magazines but we have only Comics International which is far from interesting these days and centred on the big names and promoting those who feed it! That is it. I don’t think we have a good general magazine centred on the massive comics industry in the UK since the late 1980s/early 1990s. Would such a magazine sell to the public outside of comics? Yes. The X-Men and Fantastic Four films -and the others- have created huge interest and more mundane magazines featuring news on big events in comics or films have attracted readers. So,yeah,the “civilians” as one comic pro called the General Public over the weekend,should be attracted to something like Mask. Comic fans I would think will be interested. Good news is hard to get when you think that the internet has so much junk in the way of rumour and even mischief-making from ’sources’. Something they can pick up with their comics or in the local newsagents ought to be successful. In fact,I think the last quality magazine we had of this type was Fantasia under the editorship of Paul H. Birch. So,I was very excited to learn that he is assisting/advising Martyn with Mask. More and more companies and fans are reverting to hard copies of material rather than just the internet. If any publisher out there has an ounce of business sense then they should back this project. Mask looks good. Mask reads well. Mask is very much needed and if I had the money I’d certainly have jumped in to back it. Let’s keep our collective fingers crossed.

Yes,it has been quiet over the weekend at CBO. Reason? Well,the Comic Expo and Manga Festival for one thing -and the searing Mediterranean heat of Bristol,heralded on Friday with a 4 hour thunder storm. Anyhoo,rather than write over the weekend [which would have been hindered by all the re-uploading of software I had to do thanks to Virgin Media and their PC Guard],I thought,rather than a very long drawn out report,I would do a couple each day of the week to break things up. Before I do begin I would like to get the negative aspects out of the way. To quote the official site: “Goodie Bags:
As is now traditional for Bristol 500 Goodie bags will be given away over the weekend. Sponsored by Forbidden Planet (London). Advance Ticket holders and the first attendees will be able to pick up a goodie bag. Contents will be announced shortly. “ While I was trying to find out who was where at the entrance,no fewer than 6 people asked about the goody bags but were told they were “reserved for those who had booked their tickets online”. They were showing that their tickets were [in two cases] 365 and 367 but even when they quoted the “first 500″ they were told “sorry”.
That left a rather negative atmosphere because not everyone has a computer and it does not say “who book tickets online”. You declare these items are for the first 500 then that’s who should get them -get extra goody bags for those who reserve online if you have to.
Press Pass. Got mine. Asked if there was a press info pack and got a blank look. Apparently not.
One thing that is evident as you approch the main entrance are the queues -this year going out in two directions and in previous years it has taken so long for people to get their tickets that they’ve missed the first talk or event.
As Friday is a day only for Diamond Distributor customers and not open to the public,I wondered why,as many attendees get to Bristol on Friday -and some live in the City,on the Friday to ticket desk could not be opened while things are set up. Reserved ticket -pick it up. Buy a ticket so you don’t have to queue next day -it would sort out the ticket queues and even help sort out the goody bag question.
Why not?
However,at 4 a.m. on a sleepless Monday morning,I suddenly realised:I had not spotted or seen one obviously drunken guest. And language at certain panels was toned down. Normally,each year I have noticed,as have others,that guests “over enjoy” their drinking making for rudeness and dull panels as well as lots of bad language.
Whether or not anyone else noticed I do not know but it was evident that this year there were -or seemed to be- more family groups moving around the Expo and making it a family day out. This is something that even the much more travelled guests mentioned;the Expo is excelling at making itself a family event. What I must admit to really finding interesting were the comments from creators such as Yishan Li that they would always have time for and try to get to the Bristol event.
A few people I spoke to had attended the first two Bristol events and this year was a big surprise for them. I even caught a couple of teachers looking for material for their classes to get interest going.
So,despite the odd negative aspect there was a major -major- difference in the atmosphere this year. From Olivier Cadic and Cinebook,the Classical Comics team [who still,incidentally,owe me..three coffees -I’ll add a fourth as an interest charge,thank you,Karen] to even some of the usually,uh,”grumpy” traders there was such a buzz that you could almost physically touch it [the Buzz that is].
I think that the International Comic Expo and Manga Festival has found its niche and come of age,thanks to Mike and all those other behind-the-scenes folk.
A big THANK YOU to them and to all who made this year’s Expo the best so far.
Can it be topped?
I just cannot wait to see!

MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS and GEMIN exclusive variant covers available at Emerald City Comic Con! 8 May 2008 (Berkeley, CA) - Image Comics’ Pacific Northwest bred heroes, MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS and GEMINI, celebrate Emerald City Comic Con with exclusive covers not to ever be made available anywhere else! “Emerald City Comic Con is my hometown convention,” GEMINI co-creator and writer Jay Faerber said. “Debuting my newest creation there, with an exclusive cover nonetheless, was too perfect an opportunity to pass up.” MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS #8 is also a starting point for the veteran hero, as Frank Einstein’s backstory acts as a jumping point for readers old and new. To celebrate, the Emerald City Comic Con variant is a throw back for Frank’s very first appearance in Caliber’s CREATURES FROM THE ID #1. The GEMINI cover, all-new illustration by series co-creator and artist Jon Sommariva, displays the unique dual nature of Faerber’s all-new sleeper super-agent. A select few of each cover will be given away at the IMAGE COMICS SHOW, featuring Faerber, WALKING DEAD creator Robert Kirkman and ELEPHANTMEN’s Richard Starkings. MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS creator Mike Allred added, “There’s a lot of buzz up here in the Pacific Northwest for the Emerald City Comic Con and since I wasn’t able to attend this year, I still wanted to do something very special. I hope folks will get a big kick out this.” The Emerald City Comic Con will take place May 10th and 11th at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center. More information on both covers can be found at the Image Comics booth, #602. In addition, THE IMAGE COMICS SHOW will be on Saturday in Panel Room B from 3-4 PM. Image Comics is a comics and graphic novels publisher formed in 1992 by a collective of best-selling artists. Since that time, Image has gone on to become one of the largest comics publishers in the United States.

Thor to be played by Kevin McKidd,who I first saw in Dog Soldiers and then in the awful BBC TV series “Rome”. He also starred in the rather slow TV series “Journeyman”. Well,that’s what some are saying as the movie rumour-mill gets into its pace. You can bet your money that there will be many other actors named before the actual actor is named. Of course,being incredibly old,I recall all those 1970/1980s TV movies [TVM] such as Captain America and Dr Strange [but John Mills as “The Ancient One”? Come on!!] but then we got The Incredible Hulk series starring the late great Bill Bixby. Sure,the TV folk changed Bruce Banner to David Bruce Banner because they thought “Bruce” sounded a little “gay”! And the end piano theme –“The Lonely Man” was very poignant. After the series was cancelled Bixby,and Lou Ferrigno [Hulk] returned in a 1988 TVM titled ,oddly enough,”The Return Of The Incredible Hulk”. In this,Banner meets a former student who possesses the Hammer of Thor..and Thor was played wonderfully over the top [in the nicest sense] by Eric Allan Kramer! 
But remember the Marvel Comic characters who appeared in the other two Hulk TVMs? Well…  The Trial Of The Incredible Hulk [1989]. Daredevil/Matt Murdock was played by Rex Smith. Smith you might remember from the 1985 TV series about a super-bike riding crime-fighter –Streethawk!
And the Kingpin,of course there had to be the Kingpin because DD was in this one! Well,John Rhys-Davies took the crime lord role. 
The Death Of The Incredible Hulk [1990]. Very very sad film for two reasons.
Firstly,the Hulk [far more vulnerable to harm on TV!] falls from an aircraft and crashes to the ground,dying and transforming into Banner for a few final very poignant words. The second reason was that Bixby was perfectly aware that he was dying from cancer so Banner,a character he was known world wide for playing,preceded him into the dark. And that “The Lonely Man” theme..very dusty in the house that day ~sniff~
In this final outing,Banner/Hulk were protecting an East European agent played by Elizabeth Gracen,not sure if she was actually called this in the movie,but her character has been called the Black Widow in many sources. You see,Ang Lee’s version needed that “The Lonely Man” theme at the end. Never seen the 1980s Fantastic Four film so won’t comment. But could it have been any worse than the recent Bionic Woman TV series? Yeah,I enjoyed Daredevil,Elektra and The Fantastic Four and Iron Man –WHOA! Iron-Man looks incredible.
So we have to wait for Thor [2009 and 2010 depending on who you believe] but The Watchmen movie is fast approaching. And in case you never used those links from last week –Speed Racer Go! Is hereand it looks fun. Now,I have to go wax my legs as it’s the Comic Expo this weekend!
The King Of Fighters Art Book Hung Wing Yan & Choy King Tung I’ve already given details of this book but you can check out more details at the company web site; www.DrMasterbooks.com Hung Wing Yan was an art assistant for three years before making his debut as a Manga artist in 1983. Choy King Tung,on the other hand,worked as an assistant for eight years before his solo debut in 1994. In March,1999,the two men set up King Lion Publishing –in 2002 the team got the licence for King Of Fighters. A legend was born! What you get in this high quality,90+pp full colour book are King Of Fighters illustrations from 2001-2003. These illustrations vary from dramatic action poses to group character illoes. The quality is,as usual with Dr Master,the best. The quality of the illustrations go to show how good this creative team is –and why I rave about their books! If you like making your own T-shirts using comic art [oh,come on –I know you are out there] this is a great book. If you are a big King Of Fighters fan you’ll love this book. At $21.95 US/$11.99 Can [Canada is cheaper?!] this book will –WILL- be a great collectors piece for your bookshelf! Remember that,if you cannot get this or any Dr Master books where you are,you can order via the web site. 
The Art Of Yasushi Suzuki 84pp Black & White/Colour Shrink wrapped and in slip cover $26.95 US/$32.50 Can My copy came with a DVD featuring Dr Master books so I’m assuming that’s in all the copies. I’ve already declared myself a fan of Suzuki’s Purgatory Kabuki. The usual high standard Dr Master publication does one thing –it shows the incredible art of this great artist. The book opens with the almost Goth-like colour painting “HGM”. The series of cover illoes for Kazma Sinjow’s “The Geste of Ithberh” novels are beautifully rendered. The same can be said for cover illustrations to the “A Storm Of Swords” series –these along with the “Artificial Hands” illo have a veryu strange feel to them. The same can be said of the illustrations from Suzuki’s comic “Phantoms:The Soul In The Cage”. “Study” [p.38] and “Untitled” [p.39] are two of my favourites. This book shows a Master of the Comic Book in full flow,though this is not all you get! There is a brief biography followed by thumbnail illoed List Of Works. And a short interview with Suzuki! This is a major treat for any art lover let alone Manga fan. And since Suzuki “turned” me into a Manga reader I suspect him to be a grand wizard of art! I cannot recommend this book highly enough –BUY! 
Dark Edge 1-7 Yu Aikawa 195pp each Black & White $9.95 US 13 years + The story begins after Kurou Takagi’s mother’s death and his transfer toYotsuji Private High School,owned by his father. There is a rule “No Student On Campus After Dark” –a rule Kurou accidentally breaks. Result? A zombie attack! And it’s all go from there. This dark action/comedy goes from the zombie attack to vampirism [vol.2] and much,much more! And I really enjoyed the way the story evolves from book to book and Yu’s art style can be very atmospheric –something you need in a horror book. But are only Manga fans going to enjoy these books? I run a Yahoo group –britcomicseerietales- and I think these books would appeal to its members or anyone into horror books. Unless you are rigidly into US style horror comics you should enjoy this –and I’ve avoided the obvious reference to this being like Buffy set in Japan! It is a very good series and the cliff-hanger ending to vol.7 ,thankfully,gives the reader time to relax and catch their breath. Very enjoyable but why is it so hard to find these books in the UK?! 
Lunar Legend Tsukihime vol.1-3 Sasakishonen 226pp Black & White $9.95 US 15 years+ I did review vol.4 [?] of this series and mentioned that the story was well paced,turning up little twists in the tale as the main character tries to recall his hidden/forgotten past. In fact,the action in vol.2 is well done and,as with Dark Edge,I think this series will really appeal to horror fans. And that action continues in vol.3 as the storyline twists and turns. I really do think Dr Master needs to raise its profile in the UK because their books tend to be a lot better art-wise than some of the Manga you see in comic shops. This series should be one pushed out to stores and perhaps Dr Master could appear at 2009s Comic Expo? Another series I’d recommend.

PRESS RELEASE - WOLF-MAN STRIKES MONTHLY!Robert Kirkman and Jason Howard bring ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN monthly! 5 May 2008 (Berkeley, CA) – At at long, ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN creators Jason Howard and Robert Kirkman are giving fans the one thing they’ve demanded most as THE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN goes monthly this July! “Frankly, I just couldn’t stay patient,” ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN co-creator and writer Robert Kirkman said. “Over the past year THE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN has become one of my favorite books to write and, even more so, seeing the pages pour in from Jason has made me crave MORE! With the impending shocker we’ve got coming in issue 7, we decided to switch the book from once every sixty days to every thirty! I certainly think folks will be happy with the results.” “The book has really shown it’s got legs,” Executive Director Eric Stephenson said. “After debuting as part of Image’s Free Comic Book Day celebration in 2007 we’ve seen strong reorder activity and rave reviews. The one complaint often heard is that the six times a year schedule leaves people waiting and waiting – with that corrected, I’m confident this book can soar to the heights of Kirkman’s other Image Titles, INVINCIBLE and THE WALKING DEAD.” In addition, THE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN VOL. 1 TP has been retooled to match up with the monthly shift, giving readers even more content than before. The new trade paperback will contain issues #1-7, extended to include the shocking revelations of issue 7, and will now lead right into the issue 8, where readers can see the new status-quo in full effect. “One of the things I always hear about INVINCIBLE is that you need to read the first two volumes to really get into it,” noted Kirkman. “It’s always bugged me that volume one only collects four issues and the really cool stuff doesn’t kick in until the second volume. I was thinking about that when I noticed that the first ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN TP was slated to contain issues 1-4. I knew what was coming up in issue 7 and I saw history repeating itself. Luckily, there was still time to fix it. “Now when you read the first volume of THE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN, you’ll get an accurate sense of what the series is about – and you’ll see just how dark and dramatic things are going to get. I’m very excited for people to see just what this series is capable of.” ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN #8, a 32-page full color comic for $2.99, and ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN VOL. 1, a 176-page full color trade paperback for $14.99, will be available July 30th.

Well,no one seems to have survived from Ang Lee’s Hulk movie. Beautiful and excellently filmed it may have been but the three mutated dogs..well. And in a Hulk movie I don’t think we should have to wait over one-and-one-half hours before he/it appears! This one sounds like we’ll see ol’ Green a lot sooner. You can see the trailer,download wallpapers and even get to the game site at: http://incrediblehulk.marvel.com/ Now,the only question I have to ask is how soon do we get Thor?
