		Midgard, our Earth, does not appear to be physically affected by the motions of any of the other physical bodies in the Asgardian cosmology, although Earth's axis (the imaginary pole around which it rotates) is in alignment with one of the roots of Yggdrasil, the cosmic ash tree that stands in Asgard.
		The first is the Midgard Serpent Jormungand, an immense snake-like dragon whose bodyencircles the inner edge of the mountains of Jotunheim closest to Midgard.
		The Midgard Serpent lies at the very edge of the dimensional boundry between Jotunheim and Midgard, and prevents passage between dimensions.

		He called Thor weak when he only lifted the paw of a cat, the cat being the illusion of the Midgard Serpent.
		One theory is that Germanic god Thor is loan from Finno-Ugrians, although the Hittite Tarhunt and the Sanskrit Indra seem to be cognates pointing to a pan-Indo-European phenomenon.
		Marvel Comics publishes a comic book series called The Mighty Thor, in which modernized versions of the Asgardian gods inhabit the Marvel Universe.

	Norse Mythology in Comic Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		True to his mythological foundation, the comic book Thor was not what one might consider a "quick study." The Son of Odin, though overflowing with bravery and determination, lacked the intelligence and wit to save himself from dastardly plans in both the myths and in the comics.
		Throughout the history of this comic character, Odin has had a reputation as being a hard deity to please; the dual nature of his personality (his opportunities to be both fatherly and a harsh disciplinarian) is as prominent in modern appearances as it was in the Norse myths.
		The Midgard Serpent, fated to be the creature that both kills and is killed by the mighty Thor, lies deep in the oceans of Midgard (Earth); he is so large that his coils envelop the entire ocean floor.

	Strength level (comics) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Strength level is a concept sometimes applied to comic book characters (particularly those published by Marvel Comics) to define and compare the physical strength of characters.
		Strength level is an unofficial form of classification, as due to the nature of comic book fiction, such standards are loose and writers are given a wide latitude for interpreting them.
		Also, as demonstrated in different comic book universes, such as the DC Universe, physical strength is measured by how much weight a being can lift above his or her head, this is referred to as a military press.

	Neil V. Barnes - Criticism - Comics
		Comics combined the visual and the narrative, and due to the limited special effects available only comics could do superheroes justice.
		Comic books were stamped indelibly onto popular culture with the advent of the superheroes and the union was so strong that comic books and superheroes became synonomous, much to the dismay of later, free-thinking comics professionals.
		Jane Foster ran to him and explained that it was him she loved and that it was all a mistake, but by then his pride was wounded and with his mystic hammer Mjolnir he flew off to brood.

	[Ritual] About Thor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The reason for this is simple: Thor was the God of the common man. Thor was then and is now the defender of both Asgard and of Midgard (earth), and he is a warrior without peer, but he still is not a God of war or battle.
		Popularized by the uninitiated (and the long-running Marvel Comics© comic book by the same name), the Thunderer is often mistaken for a god of battle or war.
		Thor's doom (destiny) is to kill Jormungand, the Midgard serpent, on the plain of Vigard at Ragnarok, but in the process he will die from the serpent's poison.

		I've been a comic fan for over 20 year (dear God), and I enjoy discussions about the medium that dig a little deeper then which costume is cooler or who would beat up who.
		These are tough to answer, but given Norse mythology points to a day when Thor will be killed, swallowed whole by the Midgard serpent (which might simply be a symbolic way of saying he'll be buried in the Earth), you have to think he has limits.
		The fact is the life of a comics freelancer is a sea of unpublished projects.

	Dave's Long Box: SUPERMAN #75 DC Comics, 1993 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This comic was published in the go-go comic speculator market in the 90’s, shortly before everyone realized that maybe they should have spent their money on gold or sports cards – anything but comics.
		Not only is it bad, but this comic was read by people who may have not looked at a comic for years, if at all.
		In a regular comic format, Lois could yell her lines from behind the safety of a police barricade and not look like a total idiot.

		The man was thmuping comics in public long before it was ever "cool" (which isn't really true, anyway) to read them, and without his endless (say "shamless" if you want, but it worked and worked well) promotion of comics did more for the industry than any page Jack or Steve ever drew.

		It could be one of their first exposures to the comic industry and depending on their experiences, it may build a desire to check out the comics and possibly give the industry a new customer.
		One time in the DC newsgroup (which DC Comics themselves are not responsible for in any way), I answered a post from a person asking the group who should play Batman in the next movie.
		One constant in newsgroups and letters pages is people complaining or pointing out how unrealistic something in a comic book is. They have no problem accepting that a man can fly or ignite himself, but they still demand a certain amount of reality in their comics.

	Notes to Top Ten #7
		For those who aren't up on their Norse religion, the gods on the left are the Norse Odin (the "all-father" of the Norse gods, one of whose names is "Woden," which is used on page 5) and Frigg, his wife and the goddess of love and fertility.
		In Norse mythology Loki was, in fact, the spawn of giants (Farbauti and Laufey) and the begetter of monsters (the Fenris wolf, the Midgard Serpent Jormungand, and the death goddess Hel).
		Ragnarok, in Norse mythology, was the final battle in which the gods and their enemies die.

	Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		At the time that the Handbook (henceforth referred to as OHOTMU) was published, Marvel had published thousands of comic books, featuring adventures by such pop culture icons as the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Hulk, Daredevil and others.
		In these comics, countless characters, groups of characters, locales and technologies had been introduced — so much so that it was felt that a comprehensive guide to it all was necessary.
		DC Comics published a guide to their own DC Universe as well, under the name of Who's Who in the DC Universe.

	Forbidden Cliche List 2003
		Because comic book writers only seem to read other comics, read the same fantasy/SF books all the time, and only go to the same geek movies the other people in our fan community do, they only can generate variations on the ideas they‘ve consumed previously.
		When you read cliched comic books, you’re consuming the intellectual equivalent of Soylent Green or that ground up cattle that cows are force fed that lead to mad cow disease.
		As a public service to mainstream comic book writers and readers, we---the Park and sometimes Barb Show---are going to list cliches that must be stopped in their tracks right now.

		Thor did kill the Midgard Serpent in that all-splash-pages issue, but it's a bit unclear if it was really Fing Fang Foom, or whether the Serpent was just pretending to be FFF.
		Also, the Serpent may have returned to life as I'm pretty sure it was mentioned as an upcoming threat by Kang during Busiek's final Avengers arc, and Busiek doesn't normally make that kind of continuity gaffe.
