This is it, folks! This episode we wrap up the Walt Simonson era of Thor with issue #382, which also just happens to be Thor's 300th issue! - Utgard-Loki invades Asgard, and Destroyer Thor invades Hel! Nuff said!

As we count down to the end of the Simonson era, we cover Thor #381, which features some unconscious Avengers, the frost giants going down, down, down into a burning ring of fire, and the shiniest (and arguably most bad-ass) incarnation of Thor EVER! We also welcome our listeners over from 1000 Mikes radio, I weigh in on the 'weight of Thor's hammer' discussion, and then we have a surprise comment from none other Walt Simonson himself!

Just in time for Valentine's Day, I tangent a little bit about Disney's "John Carter" movie, and some thoughts on why I think it didn't do well. Then we review Thor #380 (the all splash-page issue!) where our hero, faces off in EPIC battle against the evil tree-murdering Jormungand... the Midgard Serpent!

This week we cover Thor #379, featuring the epic face off between Thor and.... wait for it..... Fin Fang Foom! It's like "My Dinner With Andre" with scales! We also wonder where you can get dragon-sized orange swim trunks, explain why you can't melt metal into slag, Heimdall puts children in danger, and Fin Fang Foom shows us his big green serpent. Excelsior!

This week we dip back into ancient Norse lore with "The Theft of Idunn's Apples", and after that we have a look at Thor #378! - This episode has it all! Burning eagles, melting giants, quick costume changes, collapsing supporting cast, lots of pain for Loki, and a mutant guest-star! Plus, Thor's cool new armor!

In this episode we have flying elves, big explosions, and a dude with a large pink "war club", as Thor faces off against Grendell! Add to that Iceman in bondage, giant giants (as opposed to shrinky-dinked giants) and more of Loki's EEEEEEEEvil plans, and you have Thor #377!

This week we cover Thor: God of Thunder #3, talk about how gods have two elbows, or kneecaps where their elbows should be, wonder why Thor is dancing a jig on the cover, look at lots of dead gods, and wonder if this story would make a good movie...
