MC2 A Day

  Writer: Tom DeFalco Penciler: Ron Frenz Synopsis: Odin consoles Amora after the passing of her sister.  Comments: This story takes place during the events of Thor #402 where the Enchantress' sister Lorelei passes away and Amora goes to the Earth with the Bloodaxe.  The first two pages are take right from Thor #402, albeit much more intense since it's a nightmare Amora is having about the death of Lorelei and meeting Skurge's spirit.  Amora must be some kind of noblewoman to have a castle and servants to wait on her. She's shown to be possessing the Bloodaxe.  The Crimson Hawks almost exclusively appeared only during DeFalco/Frenz's run on Thor and first appeared in Thor #405. Their uniform first appeared in Thor #404. Anyway, after the events of this story, so this their first canonical appearance.  Amora's confident walk is taken from her first appearance in Journey into Mystery #103.  The Enchantress tries to enslave Odin and imagines what Asgard would l

  Writer: Tom DeFalco Penciler: Ron Frenz Synopsis: Jeffrey Lopez is able to hook up to an A.I. that can manifest itself in the real world.  Comments: The cover seems to be taken from Daredevil #31 with the dialogue from Amazing Spider-Man #1.  The comic was originally titled Mr. Right , when it was being intended for publication at Image Comics and the hero is still called that occasionally in the comic.  Doctor Dex Click reminds me of a younger, more groomed version of Deacon from A-Next .  A government agent called Big Brother tries to steal the technology, but is easily defeated when Jeffrey brings Mr. Right online.  There must have been some retooling from the finished project, because I don't remember flash drives around in 1999, when the comic was originally penciled.  This guy looks like The R.I.G.H.T. Project 's version of Phil Urich.  A small error, the wrestling mogul, was named Imperious Rex, but is called Iperious Rex in one panel. The name is a variation of the

  Writer: Tom DeFalco Penciler: Ron Frenz Synopsis: An untold tale from the past. Thunderstrike battles the Grey Gargoyle.  Comments: This issue doesn't have inks by Sal Buscema or the artist of 1990s Thunderstrike, Al Milgrom. The latter is easier to explain since Al Milgrom was fired from Marvel.  I've never understood why the Grey Gargoyle thinks Thor's hammer will give him immortality. The Grey Gargoyle is a Frenchman, but his English is better than Batroc the Leaper's. Batroc has a strong French accent.  Thunderstrike lifts all the rubble and even gives a shout-out to Amazing Spider-Man #33.  The Grey Gargoyle in human form reminds me of how he looked in Avengers #271.
