Ah, Walt Simonson. Almost everything he touches turns to gold (except the inexplicably bad World of Warcraft comic).

So many awesome moments.

"Nine steps the hero took, striding like a giant."

"He stood alone at Gjallerbru. And that answer is enough."

"Thor can no more throw bolts of subnuclear fire than a mountain can dance!" (A few panels later) And the mountains of Hel begin to dance...

"MY ARM! YOU'VE BROKEN MY ARM!" "There speaks the cunning Loki at last!"

(An Assistant Editors Month filler issue, iirc, also gave us "THE SON OF ODIN WILL FEIGN WEAKNESS NO LONGER!" ... "I landed in a place the gods forgot: New Jersey.")

As a side effect, Simonson's runs on Thor and then on FF caused me to despise Tom DeFalco with every fiber of my being. I hate him more than I hate Joey the Cheese and Geoff Johns combined. >.<#
