This week we celebrate our 10th anniversary, and wrap up this chapter of my life with a nice tidy bow. I talk about the past, the present and hint at future doings! We also have a review, covering what I believe to be the very earliest comic story featuring Thor, from waaay back in 1940!
Thanks very much for your support over the past decade's worth of shows, and I'll see you around! (Much like Loki, I'm not gotten rid of so easily!)

In this, our final mythology episode, I talk a bit about the influence of mythology in human societies, how this can be a corrupting influence, and then talk about how doing this show has changed my perception of Norse lore.

This week, Helheim breaks big-time as we wrap up our coverage of Ragnarok: The Breaking of Helheim with issue #6!
In this issue, Thor's so hungry he can eat a horse (and slobbery apples!), Drifa's subplot goes nowhere, and Nidhog goes down the hole...

It's issue #5 of "Ragnarok: The Breaking of Helheim" this week, as Helheim continues to, well... break... This issue has (a) Big Bird, a suspiciously speedy wolf, a frozen nose, some flirting, and some moonshine!
