There's been lots of talk around the comic/movie internet recently about just how certain subplots that seem to be taking root in the Marvel Studios movies might play out over the next few years — including where all these Infinity Gauntlet-related rumors might be going, and how they might reconfigure comic continuity to fit the films. Then there was a recent comment from Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige about having 600 plus issues worth of material to draw from for upcoming Thor movies. I kind of hope he meant to include the first 82 issues of Journey Into Mystery in that count (Thor first appeared in issue 83). Because it'd be pretty cool to work pre-hero Marvel monsters like Korilla in there somehow, and if they want to get legit about going Atom Age that'd be one way to do it.
