If I remember correctly that was through the Dan Jurgens run and he rarely used Ulik in his stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-68007077495356422522018-11-03T21:16:03.695-04:002018-11-03T21:16:03.695-04:00Well said John.

Ulik was a solid match for Thor in every way, but as the 1990s came he became more of a second-tier enemy and punching bag. Regardless, this is a great document for a classic Marvel battle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-66948981093747085792014-12-18T06:05:40.869-05:002014-12-18T06:05:40.869-05:00Yeah, today Ulik is more of a "cannon-fodder&...Yeah, today Ulik is more of a "cannon-fodder" opponent for Thor and that's a shame. He should get more respect because their fights (especially the first 14 issues) are some of the greatest comic slugfests ever IMHO. And I find it interesting that the majority of their brawls lasted the entire comic. That's a lot of back n fourth action!John Ciminohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737574058335177140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-3984502889228624682014-12-17T09:49:08.990-05:002014-12-17T09:49:08.990-05:00You are correct, Ulik and Thor had consistent fun ...You are correct, Ulik and Thor had consistent fun action packed brawls from the beginning until that Thor annual in 1985.

Hela can always release him from Hel should the desire to use the character again arise.Genghis Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045041861047991939noreply@blogger.com
