Al Ewing's 10 Favourite Comic Book Scenes
The writer of Immortal Hulk and Valkyrie shares his favourite moments from his own comics!
[Editor's Introduction]
Thought Bubble 2019 is just around the corner, and it's just about time to get excited!
The Yorkshire-based comic book convention and festival has been going strong for 12 years now, and will this year open its doors at the Harrogate Convention Centre from the 9th-10th of November. Dozens of industry professionals will be in attendance, including Al Ewing, the acclaimed writer of Immortal Hulk, Loki: Agent of Asgard, and dozens of other comics. (WhatCulture Comics will also be there, but you know, one thing is obviously much cooler than the other.)
