Marvel's new Thor

[samurainoir]

He debuted this week in Fear Itself 7.2.

So...six months out from Marvel's biggest movie project and possibly their largest film payday and they've turned Thor into a Thundercat with pointed ears and a pimp daddy cane?

This can't possibly be Thor and that certainly can't be a hammer. Looks like Odin's gearshift from when MTV pimped his ride. If that is Thor, simply appalling design. Bring back Beta Ray Bill, please.

looks a bit like a Jack Kirby full on Eternals style Thor.

Yeah, I thought it was a bit odd that they kill off Thor right after his hit movie... But given the fake out of Bucky Cap's death and the launch of the Winter Soldier ongoing we've been clamoring for, I'm sure this stunt will be done by next summer. I think Marvel was hoping for a slow news week so it would have made the papers and given them a publicity bump, but real life events kept it out of the headlines.

The hammer was last seen tucked in Cap's belt during Thor's funeral. The died wielding a sword, which probably clues us in on how they might bring him back.

The new Thor looks like he's wearing most of the Destroyer's armor. Weird.

Seriously, comics really need to put a moratorium on these replacement heroes. I'm pretty sure every major hero has been replaced twice in the last 25 years. Thor himself has been replaced by Thunderstrike and Beta Ray Bill on occasion. And now this guy. Cap has been replaced by US Agent and Bucky. Iron Man by War Machine and Teen Tony. And that's just Avengers! The list goes on and on and on. It's usually tied into the "Death of..." gimmick like this one.

Money saved yet again....

This is the Celtic god of thunder standing in while Thor recovers from being dead.

btw, the character's name is Taranis

Wow. Now Marvel is jumping on the DC train of "Mr. Hanky's Crap train Poo Choo".


Everyone jump aboard! Why does Marvel they have to follow suite with stupid story ideas? It's bad enough that DC has totally rebooted their entire universe now Marvel kills off Thor and replaces him with some Caveman looking dude with a macaroni noodle on stick for a hammer?

Anyone know when Johnny Storm is coming back and the Fantastic Four stop wearing those ridiculous generic outfits?

[Toy Talk]

This is why I do not buy comics anymore.
