Jimmy Attempts To Read All Of Secret Wars Part Twelve

Oh those pesky Thors.  Tasked with being the “police” of Battleworld, they are one of the truly cool new concepts introduced with Secret Wars.  And while there have been lots of Thor’s across Marvel’s multiverse and history to fill up a corps as is, we also get some cool new Thor’s based on the likes of Iron Man and Groot for example.  They’ve shown up in pretty much every book so far in one way or another, but they also get a series of their own.

In this episode of “Jimmy’s Way Behind On Deadlines”, I’ll look at that Thor-centric book with Thors #1.  I’ll also look at Armor Wars #2 (hey, there’s a James Rhodes Thor on the cover!), Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars #2 and Squadron Sinister #1.  As usual, spoilers abound.

Also, if you are like me and haven’t read all of Johnathon Hickman’s Avengers run leading up to Secret Wars, be sure to take Tom’s Road To Secret Wars course at gabbinggeekuniversity.com.  The reading materials are online here: Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six and Part Seven.

And that course is a prerequisite to the other parts of this series: Part One, Part Two, Part Three,Part Four, Part Five, Part Six, Part Seven, Part Eight, Part Nine,Part Ten, Part Eleven

Slightly Misplaced Comics Heroes Case Files #5: Cardiac

The doctor is in!
Best joke I could think of here.

This dark vigilante first encountered Spider-Man in a run-in that left the wall-crawler stymied.  Spidey doesn’t believe in lethal force, but this fellow clearly did.  As such, the two potential allies came to blows over their differing methods.

I am referring, of course, to the Punisher.  And Solo.  Oh, and the subject for today’s case file, Cardiac.

Spider-Man runs into these guys a lot.
