  • Beta Ray Bill is tired of life in Thor’s shadow - and with Bill’s famous hammer, Stormbreaker, recently destroyed at the thunder god’s hands, Bill finds himself at a crossroads. The Korbinite must strike out in search of his destiny…assuming he can first defeat a Knullified Fin Fang Foom! Bill begins a hunt for Odin in hopes of resurrecting his golden weapon - but Stormbreaker is never coming back. Nonetheless, there is one place where Beta Ray Bill could restore his full powers. The All-Father of Nothing offers the Korbinite a path to immortality - but at a price not even a god can afford! Who will join him on a dangerous and deadly cosmic quest?

    Y'all totally forgot that he pitched this to Tiff during the interview she did and seemed like he might've spilled the beans about working on the book before it was ever announced!
    DWJ is one of the best storytellers in comics right now that is so underappreciated, so I love that the Dead Earth and Beta Ray Bill have been done on the couch, if only we could warrant an episode for Murder Falcon

    I like the ending, it shows that he can't just erase being Beta Ray Bill, he was in his horse form probably longer than he was in his Corbinite form, it's just who he is and going back won't change that. Its kinda beautiful in a way that doesn't nail you in the head with what it's trying to say.

    got this book solely on this channels recommendation, ive always thought Bill was really awesome and underrated but had kinda just stopped paying him as much attention as other characters. This story is legendary and really establishes why Beta Ray Bill is such a loved and respected character. Also that scene where Bill hits a guy with a rainmaker clothesline in the barfight may have given me the most visceral hype reaction to anything ive ever seen in a comic book. this book kicked my ass and put Bill right back on the top of my list of coolest characters ever.

    Also, if anybody is interested in this comic, I cannot recommend enough that you read Do A Powerbomb, also by Daniel Warren Johnson, out right now. It’s a pro-wrestling tournament comic about a necromancer who’s recruiting the daughter of a famous wrestler who died accidentally in the ring in order to do the greatest wrestling match of all time, for the prize of resurrecting her mother. It’s awesome and everyone should read it immediately.

    If you want a Sif & Bill arc, there’s Journey Into Mystery. After Gillen did the Kid Loki run Marvel kept the book alive and intended to make it a thing where each Asgard character would get their own arcs/stories and thus decided to start with Sif. The book didn’t sell as well as the Gillen run so it was cancelled before any other arcs were done but the Sif arc is about her, Bill, Skuttlebutt and Gaia in space

    "They sing no songs in Hel. Nor do they celebrate heroes...
    For silent is that dismal realm and cheerless...
    But the story of The Gjallerbru and the God who defended it is whispered across the Nine Worlds...
    And when a new arrival asks about the one to whom even Hela bows her head...
    The answer is always the same..
    'He stood alone at Gjallerbru..'
    And that answer is enough."
    Still brings a tear to my eye. That one issue just hit so hard.

    Daniel Warren Johnson is a modern GOAT. Every comic he does feels kinetic and visceral. Everybody should read “Murder Falcon” and “Do A Powerbomb” by him, because both comics made me ugly cry. He’s super talented and just kills it every time. “Extremity” is also absolutely incredible.

    I cannot thank you enough Sal for recommending this during Off the Rack when it was coming out, I picked up every issue at release and I love the character of Bill & his design so much that I purchased my first Variant cover which was DWJ's version of Thor #337. It's an incredible read and it's a crime that there isn't an oversized art version available. So glad to see this episode released and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

As much as I love it I can't justify buying the TPB, but I hope this episode sells a lot of copies of this book. I feel like in the days of crowdfunding, Marvel and DC should allow creators or fans to campaign and crowdfund hardcovers or special editions of their favorite stories. That would solve the issue with Marvel not wanting to have inventory while still allowing fans to get books that the publishers may not believe in, and give those same fans and avenue to show the publishers what they are interested in.
