If you'd gone down to Baltimore today (as you might be wont to do), then you woulda been able to witness the announcement of this year's Harvey Awards winners. Presented as part of the Baltimore Comic-Con, the awards celebrate everything about comics apart from theoretically awards-elligible websites written by a guy who's trying REALLY HARD to get into the top level but it's difficult you guys! Stop hassling me.

Thor : The Mighty Avenger might be worth a try. I dislike Marvel's Asgard, but Gillen got me hooked with JIntoM, so I may try this too.
Thor: The Mighty Avenger is a really awesome book. It's completely filled with fun, unconflicted superheroing
