In my previous post (August 22nd, chronogically) I mentioned coming across a few surprises from Indyplanet, among them an addition to the Group Of Seven series. The other major one was a print version of Thunder #5 being available.
The book has gone through a number of changes since the last issue was released, including a new artist (Myk Emmshin) and a name change for one of the characters. Nonetheless, this issue continues the story begun in the previous four, but is a bit of a transition issue. Thunder's training continues, he plans a return to Asgard and Vancouver begins to react to the superhero activity within city limits. Here's a glimpse at the new-look Thunder.
Now even though I happened to see the book on
IndyPlanet, I would avoid buying it from them unless you plan to do so in digital format. The shipping costs from print books are simply brutal.
When I pointed this out on Twitter recently, writer Michael McAdam offered to ship the books to me if I bought directly from him. There's still a cost involved, of course, but it is reduced significantly.
I doubt McAdam offered this to me because I'm particularly awesome (though it's entirely possible). I'm sure the offer applies to any potential customer. So if you decide to get your hands on individual issues of Thunder,
go straight to the source or contact McAdam through the
Two Gargoyles Twitter account.
And coincidentally, as I was confirming Two Gargoyles Twitter account name, McAdam happened to post a picture of a new promotional poster for Thunder. Have a look below, and Mike, if/when you read this, remind me to add one to my order when I get Thunder #6 from you some day.
