Marvel has made announcement about their character, the mighty Thor. The Thor that we all know and love will be loosing the title of “Thor” and his warhammer, Mjolnir. He is no longer worthy to carry the powerful Mjolnir. Another will be chosen to carry Mjolnir. The shocking news for many is that the new Thor is a female.
She will not be known as Lady Thor or anything like that. She will be THOR. She will star in the new comic series, Thor. Jason Aaron has been writing the current run on Thor comics and he will now be the writer for the new Thor comics. The first issue of the new Thor comic will be released in the fall.
There is a lot speculation who the new Thor will be. Will she be an existing character? Some are speculating that she will be Thor’s recently revealed sister. I think she looks a lot like a Valkyrie and maybe hero we know as Valkyrie. But we will have to wait and see for more details on this new Thor.
I think this is fantastic news. I don’t dislike the current Thor at all. But a female Thor is a very cool idea. When you are talking mythology, it is not uncommon for different people to take on the embodiment of a god. It will be really fun to see what a female can bring to this hard hitting god and how that will change the perception of Thor in the Marvel Universe.
The art for the new Thor comic looks fantastic. I will probably pick up this comic just to see what is going on and to enjoy the art. Marvel is doing this to bring some buzz and to pick up comic fans who aren’t currently reading Thor comics.
For all of my hard core Thor fans out there, DON’T WORRY! The Thor that you all know and love will return and probably within 2 years. Take it from a Spider-Man fan, they will not let the original Marvel Thor hang in the wind too long. He will probably be back just in time for Marvel’s movie Thor 3 to hit the Theaters.
