Thor: Movie Special, Ep. 1
The Thor: Movie Special, Ep. 1 is ready to download. These movie specials will give librarians different views from different age groups and interests. The podcast features my family: April my daughter, who just turned 13 and is like any other young teenage girl; Logan my son, who will be turning 16 and is a rabid reader; Michelle my wife who likes some comic book things but not all; and myself, the professed comic book guy. We sit around the table, enjoy some ice cream and discuss the movie that we recently watched.

Cutting up Comics?!
ICv2’s site is reporting that Upper Deck has collected older comics from Marvel’s past and are trimming out panels to attach to trading cards. The set is call Marvel Beginnings Series 1. This subset of cards is Marvel Ultimate Collection Panel Forms. Even though they are cutting up comic books, shutter, I think this is a cool idea. Let you patrons know about this new chase set built within the common cards of Marvel Beginnings. I think most will enjoy it and might be the only way to own a piece of history like this.

Gavin Hood is currently named as the director for the live action movie. If all goes well this Saga will replace the Twilight Saga. Some of the new attention for this could be from Marvel recently publishing adaptations of the Ender Saga in comic book form. Follow the link to ICv2 for the full article.
