Do you want to find a fun Thor/Cap mini-series to do? Ed and I talked and came up with the core of the idea. A sort of anti-Odin came about. Hitler was obsessed with Norse mythology and we never got to see Cap fight a World War in our lifetime. We kept getting hung up on how do you launch a story about Thor with a movie out?"
