In terms of entertainment, 2019 was pretty remarkable. I’m not sure where it’ll fall in the decade when we look back, but for my money some of my favorite comic book TV, comic book movies, and straight up comic book moments of the decade all happened this year.

Since I’ve already shared Comic Book Herald’s favorite comics of 2019 in a host of places, this week’s column will focus on favorites across other mediums and categories. [Read more…] about Previously On #94: Dave’s Faves, 2019 Year-End Non-Comics Edition!

Besides appearing in what is now the highest grossing film of all time as well as being on the roster in the first AAA Avengers video game, Thor was the headliner of the year’s biggest comic book event book, War of the Realms. Like any good comic book event, War of the Realms follows a bombastic battle for the fate of Earth as all of the other Nine Realms of the Asgardian mythos fight against the machinations of Malekith the Accursed.

As the year winds down and Jason Aaron closes off his time with a future-set epilogue over in the pages of King Thor, it’s time now for us to take a look back at War of the Realms and see how it all came together.
