Ralph Macchio is not the “Karate Kid.” He is a Senior Editor at Marvel Comics who oversaw Frank Miller’s run on “Daredevil” and Walter Simonson’s run on “Thor.” In addition to these acclaimed runs, Ralph edited the wildly successful “Ultimate” line, which re-launched Marvel’s greatest heroes for modern times, and Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” comics. Today, Ralph has returned to an old friend, who happens to be Marvel’s next movie star, Thor. Ralph is editing the upcoming “Mighty Thor” book and “Journey into Mystery.” With the impending release of the movie, I talked with Ralph about Thor, why he’s important, why you should see the movie, why you should be reading Thor, and what it’s like to return to Thor after such a lengthy absence.

“In your opinion do you think records (albums) are going to be given away on the Internet and the money will come from touring? Or do you see people still wanting to buy a CD?
Without question I think that the biggest revenue stream for artists these days certainly seems to be touring. Records are almost an afterthought. But, I’m not ready to put a final nail in the coffin on CD’s I’ve seen some encouraging things lately.”
I interview legendary DJ Eddie Trunk about his upcoming book release. To read the full interview click on the link below.
