COMIC CONNECTIONS: Thor: Dark World - War of the Realms


Listen Later

Episode 24 - War of the Realms

This week we are getting Duane ready for his first ever viewing of the oft maligned Thor: Dark World.  Its Thor’s second solo movie, and in it he is trying to save Asgard (and Jane Foster!) from the dark elf Malekith.  We already read a bit about Malekith in the Walt Simonson Thor run we covered back in Episode 10, but now we are going to see what he’s been up to more recently, with a couple of series from around the time of the movie.
