This week we cover "Thor and Hymir's Fishing Expedition" as adapted by Neil Gaiman in his "Norse Mythology" - It's a familiar tale of gods, giants, oxen, giant oxen, fishing, giant fish, regular sized goats, and a giant cauldron! Nuff said!

Another fortnight gone by, and now it's time for Hercules Unbound #8. Have David Michelinie and Walt Simonson created an underrated masterpiece of sequential storytelling, or is this just a kind of lame 1970's DC comic? This issue has Tweetie bird's owner assaulting our heroes, Hercules leaving one of his friends to drown, an early holodeck, and of course, lots of T&A!!
