Who's turn is it to be dead over at Marvel?

[samurainoir]

I'm assuming they have big plans to reboot Thor once again given that they just killed him off in the finale of Fear Itself.

It's not like there isn't a big Avengers film next year with Thor and Loki. Or a sequel planned for the big Thor movie just out on DVD.

Of course what s really shocking is that Marvel didn't milk this in the mainstream press, but then again it's hardly a slow news week.

So final Tally for Fear Itself... Bucky Cap Dead. Thor Dead. Banner Split from Hulk. The Defenders launching a new title. Cap's Shield will also have a permanent crack in it, but has been repaired with Uru (same stuff as Thor's hammer). Red skull 2.0 has proven that she is a major Big Bad.

Cap also picked up and wielded Thor's hammer.

All in all, Fear itself was a pretty good crossover series, but again suffers from too many tie ins and spin offs. It would be nice if either of the big two could do more self contained series. Just like blackest Nught should have stayed in the Lantern books, fear itself would have been bettered served by focussing on the Avengers books.

And so it's time to reboot THOR yet agian
Marvel here's a big hint just go back to the Stan Lee Jack Kirby concept of THOR and then stick with it

Not interested in any of this stuff....I skipped over all the "Fear Itself" garbage...

Cap (as "The Captain") picked up Thor's hammer and used it way back in the DeFalco/Frenz run on Thor. I thought that was beyond awesome.

So now Cap's shield is enchanted? Do they have to explain away everything?

Until he gets a new one, or they forget about it or someone doesn't draw the crack in it....Whichever comes first

[samurainoir]

I forgot to mention that Iron Man fell off the wagon, getting blind stinkin' drunk as a "sacrifice" to Odin. He then made some enchanted weapons that gave the heroes wielding them Tron light up features... Which I expect will be announced as toys from Hasbro any day now.

Didn't Marvel JUST reboot the rebooted reboot of THOR recently...?

>Fear itself was a pretty good crossover series, but again suffers from too many tie ins and spin offs.

A couple months back a friend of mine commented on how much he was enjoying some of the new Marvel stuff.... "it's just like the stuff I read in the 80's" he said. "JUST like it!" then he went and listed all the things that had been reset to the mid-80's Marvel universe. It kinda sounds like "Fear Itself" was the final boost to bring it all back around.

....which scares me 'cos in another 5 years or so we'll see nostalgia for the 90's, and the whole mess will start all over again. I still get PTSD over multiple-ashcan-photo-holo-glow-covers.

I hated this story line, I saw most of the stuff coming miles away. marvel needs to get back to good story telling and stop with the events, they have mostly been big disappointments, heck even DC comics events have been disappointments. ALSO REBOOTS need to end. its gotten to silly and stupid.

[samurainoir]

thanks for the spoiler alert.

Apologies, but it's kind of implied by the thread title isn't it? You don't click on it if you don't want to find out who is dead.

That's why the thread title wasn't THOR IS DEAD AGAIN.

[WannabeMego]

Joe Quesada?

[Random Axe]

^^^I was thinking the exact thing.

He needs to distance himself from Marvel. I really like his artwork and would love to see him do some DC work even covers. How cool would he be on a Green Lantern book?

Although Stan the man is closest to the finish line, he'll probably outlive most of us.

[Figuremod73]

commend anyone who can read most of the marvel and dc stuff released now. i just cant do it....

[jwyblejr]

I was thinking of Mary Jane. She hasn't bit the big one yet,as far as I know.
