is a fictional superhero team in comic books published by Marvel Comics that enjoyed a series run of eleven issues when it was inexplicably canceled barely a week after the 11th issue release, perhaps due to flagging sales. It is composed of characters originally appearing in unrelated stories published in the 1950s by Marvel's predecessor company, Atlas Comics. The characters debuted as a team in the non-canonical (June 1978)--of course the complete What If? comics series has been previously posted by yours truly, --and starred in the limited series, (Oct. 2006 - March 2007), the latter written by Jeff Parker with art by Leonard Kirk. That limited series was set in the present day and in mainstream continuity. In February 4, 2009 Marvel released the first issue (cover date April 2009) of the ongoing series, launched as part of its current Dark Reign storyline and also written by Jeff Parker. In library terms the ongoing series would now be volume 2. The team, consisting of Gorilla-Man, Jimmy Woo, M-11, The Uranian, Namora and Venus, was one of the better-handled among ongoing Marvel titles and albeit admittedly a second-tier title, some had considered it to be the best among Marvel's superhero team titles at the time of its cancellation.

Au cœur d’un monde industriel, une petite fille sombre à répétition dans un bref coma. Une excursion poétique au cœur de ses visions, au fond des cheminées. En suivant la voix des cheminées, Addidas effectue une approche métaphorique de sa maladie. Les entrailles de cette ville industrielle sont une sorte de représentation de son coma aux allures très métallurgiques.

in comics is of course the adaptation of the long-running and cult favorite science-fiction television program produced by the BBC about a space-time traveling alien known as "the Doctor" who, with his companions--Donna in this case--explores time and space, solving problems, facing monsters and righting wrongs. IDW Publishing currently publishes the Doctor Who series. Issue #7 is part 1 of the two-part "Tessaract." The 2010 Annual included in this update is a large-scan special (2488 x 3345 pixels) of the BBC-produced television series, hence the overly-large filesize. Incidentally the tv series is listed in Guinness World Records as the longest-running science fiction television show in the world, and as the "most successful" science fiction series of all time, in terms of its overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, iTunes traffic and "illegal downloads." Consisting of 61 pages including cover and at 156.9 MB, I uploaded the annual as is. Other than the annual which has no scanner credits (may be somebody's personal scan), issues #1 through 7 are all high quality Minutemen scans.

Apparently DC is trying to wring as much comic book sales out of its Blackest Night event as possible, coming up with single-issue revivals of titles that have already ceased publication. As to whether or not such tie-ins are of any consequence, that's for the reader to find out for him/herself. This particular tie-in however manages to come up with nice epilogues to Shade and Hope O'Dare. And yes, veterans writer James Robinson artist Bill Sienkiewicz can still deliver. A Minutemen scan.

started with issue #1 released July 5, 2007 with cover date September 2007 and the latest issue is Thor #606 released January 27, 2010, which is the conclusion to the three-part story arc, "Latverian Prometheus". It is marked first of all by the run of writer J. Michael Straczynski who, together with artists Olivier Coipel and Marko Durdjevic, essentially took a moribund Marvel title, rebooted it and gave it a power boost, to make it one of, if not the strongest and best, of all current Marvel titles. As a whole Volume 3 has received consistently rave reviews from critics and fans alike, including record sales. A case in point is that IGN's highbrow but uneven reviewers started to regularly cover the title and not only that, began to consistently bestow Thor with its Editor's Choice Awards, giving it ratings ranging from "Great" to "Incredible"; so much so that Thor has been nominated for the coveted Eisner Award. Many thought after Straczynski left the title would suffer, but in these last three issues the creative team of Keiron Gillen and Billy Tan have proved with the given opportunity that they can indeed fill the shoes vacated by their illustrious predecessors, doling out a nicely balanced helping of grand action and character-driven plot. The energy given off by the climactic battle between Thor and Dr. Doom and the utter insidiousness of Doom and Loki in terms of story and visual impact are truly to be experienced. The Siege tie-in begins in . Great stuff, high quality Minutemen scan.

This is the compilation of , including the annual, all one-shots and specials, current and complete. Thor Volume 3 started with released July 5, 2007 with cover date September 2007 and the latest release is released December 23, 2009. It is marked first of all by the run of writer J. Michael Straczynski who, together with artists Olivier Coipel and Marko Durdjevic, essentially took a moribund Marvel title, rebooted it and gave it a power boost, to make it one of, if not the strongest and best, of all current Marvel titles.

Another thing worhty of note is that Volume 3 is where Thor's 600th issue milestone occurred. After the first 12 issues, for the 600th issue the numbering reverted back to that of the original from Volume 1; hence, issues 600, 601 and so on. The long-awaited one-on-one confrontation between the God of Thunder and a vastly more powerful Dr. Doom starts in issue #605.
