Thor Official Movie Special

My wife and I went to see the Thor movie the other night and while she enjoyed it  I really enjoyed it!  I'm a big fan of Marvel Comics' Thor comic book-especially the Jack Kirby Thor with Walt Simonson's version coming in a distant second.

Jack Kirby captured the hugeness of the vast Asgardian realm with spectacular structures, elaborately dressed warriors, sinister demons and villains and an epic representation of the entire magical scope of the mystical realm.

The Thor movie from Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios tinkers around with Thor's origin a little but the meat of the Thunder God's beginnings are there.

The story opens with Odin (Thor and Loki's father) telling them stories of valor and honor.  Later in their lives the time arrived for Thor to take his rightful place as heir to the throne since he is the elder of the two sons.

When Frost Giants attempt to steal back a relic Thor and the Warriors Three, along with Lady Sif, travel to the Frost Giant's land in order to make them pay for their crime-against the Odin's explicit orders not to.

Thor winds up being banished to Earth for his disobedience and stripped of his power with his hammer separated from him.  And.....well, go see the movie yourself-you won't be disappointed.

Marvel Studios and Disney's Thor Official Movie Special is jam-packed with photos, interviews, quizzes, games, puzzles, a Thor timeline, a special two-part comic book story leading into the film, a Who's Who of characters and much more.  Like Thor, it's big, its bold and it packs plenty of punch!  "For Asgard!"
