I don't know how I feel about this.
I understand that this is a new person taking on the mantle of Thor. Kinda like how Beta Ray Bill did, which is fine.

As soon a Marvel thinks they've milked the whole thing for sales they will announce the 'Return of Thor' with a dozen variant covers to separate morons from their money.
This is what has taken the place of good storytelling in comics, now.

Then they will probably come up with another way to keep her.
Renaming and everything else.

(1,536 posts)5. I've been thinking
If Thor is now a woman, and this woman is the daughter of a king, who is owned by Marvel, who is owned by Disney, does this make Thor the newest Disney Princess?
