The Mighty Thor

This weekend the Thor movie comes out, which I have been really looking forward too. Strangely, my liking the character has only been in the last five years. Growing up I just didn't consider him. I mean I saw reprints of his origin that occurred in Journey into Mystery 83 a Marvel Comics publication, but it was really really a bad origin that just didn't take with me. Alien invasions in Norway, crippled doctor on vacation, Thor, really badly drawn and named robot, and flying saucers. Wow, what the hell were you thinking Stan, or perhaps smoking? As the comic grew a couple of years later it actually because a good comic with better storylines. The latest incarnation of Thor a couple of volumes later it ends up one of the few comics that I can stomach along with Iron Man.
