A foundational creator of the Golden Age, Bill Everett is best known for his creation of Namor the Sub-Mariner in that era and his co-creation of Daredevil in the Silver Age.  But Everett excelled at an astonishing range of material, and his work between those two ages for Marvel/Atlas during the Pre-Code era on science[...]

In recent years, we've talked a lot in these auction posts about the low-key role that radiation-transformed characters played in comic books long before the Silver Age Marvel Universe.  From the cosmic ray-powered The Ray and Bill Everett's The Conqueror; to a second, post-Atomic Bomb wave of characters like Atoman and Atomic Man; and a[...]

Re-reading the Hercules vs Thor battle in Journey into Mystery Annual #1 just now, it struck me how perfect this scene would be for a Taika Waititi Thor movie.  Maybe we'll get the chance to see that someday, as Hercules' dad Zeus appears in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder, so perhaps Hercules himself will[...]

Stan Lee created a version of him for a pre-Marvel comic book called Venus and then brought him into the Journey Into Mystery comic book, created by Stan, his brother Larry Leiber and Jack Kirby alongside his brother Thor in issue #85 in 1963 And, handily timed alongside the new Loki TV show, four copies[...]

The War of the Realms is rampaging across the Marvel Universe right now, but there's only one thing Ares cares about in Journey Into Mystery #5: bringing back his son, Alexander It's for that motivation that Ares has kidnapped Thor's baby sister and plans to hand her over the Queen of Cinders, who is not[...]

That's what happens in this preview of War of the Realms: Journey Into Mystery #3… Anyone who's ever traveled with a dog knows that regular bathroom breaks are a requirement… but Thori, unlike most dogs, is perfectly capable of letting humans know that himself. Then again… Still, he definitely draws the line at walking on a leash. Access journalism[...]

A lot of people are probably wondering how Ares came to be the villain hunting down Thor's baby sister in War of the Realms tie-in, Journey Into Mystery Sure, the guy is a dick… but would he really throw in with Malekith and his forces? Well, War of the Realms: Journey Into Mystery #2 sheds[...]

Journey Into Mystery is a new mini-series spinning out of War of the Realms next week, part of an overall effort to bilk Marvel readers for as much money as possibility based on super-mega-crossover event FOMO provide additive content to the event comic experience with stories that can't be told within the confines of the[...]

Marvel has heard the complaints levied by Brian Hibbs about their abuse of the variant cover gimmick (amongst other things) to extract more money from existing readers rather than trying to sell actual comics to new readers, and they have responded with… more variants! Hey, Marvel is nothing if not consistent, right? First up, two variants for[...]

War of the Realms has gotten its first spin-off mini-series, setting in motion the super-mega-crossover event churn that will envelop the comics industry in 2019 (and into 2020 if the usual delays occur)! War of the Realms: Journey Into Mystery will be a five-issue series written by podcast moguls The McElroy Brothers and drawn by André[...]

Today in completely unexpected Marvel comics, the creative team of Dennis Hopeless and Djibril Morisette-Phan will be telling a new tale starring Seargent Fury and his Howling Commandos in Journey Into Mystery: The Birth of Krakoa #1, a 40-page one-shot revealed in Marvel's September's solicitations The book takes readers back to the end of World[...]

Thor also gets a pass for including issues where someone other than the original Thor was the star of the book, as the same applies to other titles as well (except when it doesn't, like with some of the Avengers teams), and plus, Jane Foster is still the star of the relaunched title… until she[...]

I've bid on one or two items–no you can't know which–so here's hoping I get something. Tonight's auction has some heavy hitters in it, such as this beautiful copy of Journey Into Mystery #83 This book is already over the $20K mark, and I have a feeling this book will double that price[...]

And of course, who better to pull the details of his rise in popularity and success than his longtime partner in creativity, Jamie McKelvie. We start with a big cheer from a roomful of The Wicked + The Divine fans, followed by Jamie and Kieron taking their seats to be awarded by Comic-Con International for their[...]

But just as the Ant Man movie name dropped the comic that he first appeared in, Tales To Astonish, to this one also does some name dropping, for Journey Into Mystery.  Which would be the comic book that Thor first appeared in… And also a comic that the child incarnation of Loki starred in, more recently. Does the[...]

This Week's Comic Reviews Include: Teen Titans #1 Dark Engine #1 Translucid #4 Black Market #1 Seconds Life With Archie #36 Journey Into Mystery Featuring Sif Vol 1 and 2 But first, a word or two directed to those who can't handle change in their superhero funnybooks. 1 An Open Letter to People Complaining About the New Thor/Captain America By Adam[...]

One was a Journey into Mystery 83 that was previously graded 6.0 Universal by CGC – It came back a 7.0 Restored – Top Edge Trimmed – I called CGC and after much complaining, Harshen agreed to re-look at the book – Harshen claimed everyone in the building with grading credibility looked at the book, and EVERYONE agreed[...]

Such as movies. But in this case, the registration from Marvel Characters is just in the field of "Downloadable electronic publications in the nature of comic books, comic magazines and stories in illustrated form" And they are: Age Of Ultron Alpha Flight Black Panther Guardians Of The Galaxy New Warriors Rocket Raccoon Strikeforce Morituti Journey Into Mystery Irredeemable Ant Man Is this Marvel just covering some trademark[...]

Bounce #3 gives me a bad guy that makes me go to Google Translate… While with Lazarus #2 I know what every word means, but I really wish I didn't. While the language for Journey Into Mystery is possibly lacking in places. Hawkeye Annual gives us another version of that scene, which should explain things a bit[...]

But… no sign of Journey Into Mystery? The comic currently being written by Kathryn Immonen starring the Asgardian Sif seems to be missing from the new solicitations Has it, like Red She-Hulk, been disappeared without a Final Issue note in the solicitations? If so, expect the final issue in August If not, expect someone to whack[...]

As a regular reader of Bleeding Cool, you're probably aware that I believe that Kieron Gillen, Doug Braithwaite and friends' run on Journey Into Mystery is a real highlight of Marvel Comics from the last few years At its heart, it's about a boy and his dog, but it's also a boy and a girl,[...]

For those of you hoping, seeking, yearning for a way out of the last issue of Journey Into Mystery, and who may have seen Kid Loki on the cover of The Mighty Thor #22, the final issue of the Everything Burns crossover, I'm sorry Let me at least put you out of that mystery. Despite Kid[...]

So anyway, it was Journey Into Mystery #645 yesterday Which means we have to check in on Tumblr, don;t we? Yes, yes we do And wow Here is a miniscule representation… therestlessdead I guess we should have known it would be temporary. Brun and the disir leering at Hela and Tyr getting all romantic was hilarious. THE CONVERSATION WITH[...]

You know the bit in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the Once More With Feeling musical episode, where mid-way through her finale song, she turns, looks at the camera and sings "and you can sing along…" Freaked me out the first time I saw it, still get a chill when I think about it, and I[...]

There's a new Journey Into Mystery out today And one scene in particular is already causing Tumblr rage As it should It's not a mega-world smashing cliffhanging spoiler, so I'm going to run it, but be warned, you may wish to remain spoiler free So run away now, little thing. Okay So as Loki finds himself[...]

Tonight I found myself in a pub with a few friends including  Journey Into Mystery writer Kieron Gillen During the night he was bombarded with tweets and posts concerning the new issue of The Mighty Thor, written with Matt Fraction, currently crossing over with JIM as part of the Everything Burns story During the crossover,[...]
