And I always liked this cover/issue for several reasons but the pose or dance that Thor and Hercules are doing I always found somewhat puzzling...did they miss? Is it like some type of face-off in hockey like "we'll start here and then when we hear the buzzer we can start beating the out of each other..." And the all-white background adds to the static nature even though presumably they are supposed to be engaged in battle. True, now that you mention it the poses do look odd. Nothing can beat the cover of Thor #126. I always chuckle when I see the little gimmick where Thor tucks Mjolnir into his belt. Glad they didn't try that in the movies, it would never work. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Stephen Strange variant. Would love that to be true. Love me some Bruce C and about 15 years ago, I had this comic (X-Men 11) in my collection and was looking at it to sell. I had other X-Men being a child of the 80's, and it was this comic that made me decide to keep all my X-Men and complete a run from 1 - 143. So. Glad. I. Did.

Also not a big fan of the (H) on Hercules belt...doesn't make a lot of sense and kind of a nod that our readers are too dumb to know this is Hercules so we better put an H on his belt. (Which goes perhaps without saying not a big fan of any LETTER on any super-hero or villain's costume (S as in Superman)...just always seemed stupid to me). But hey they're funny books. Hope all is well Lou. And you are correct...THOR 126 is an awesome cover and somewhat unique in how it captures the entire cover with the scale of Thor and Hercules.

I’m intrigued by villains. They don’t always do bad because they are evil. And the capes are not always “good”. I’ll have to pick up that book!! Recently listened to “Forging Hephaestus” by Drew Hayes, and it covers this issue in a solid way. Highly recommend it. ps: I’m also a silver surfer fan. I’ll need to get my hands on this one!! alexgross.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
