Big Fresh Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 They're missing out. I read all of Superior Spider-Man a few weeks ago and loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm still waiting for Superior Doc Ock with Ben Reilly's ghost stealing his reconstituted body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Superior Spider-Man was great. Looking forward to the two issue revival Spider-verse tie-ins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 @jasonaaron: I've written 25 issues featuring 3 different versions of dude Thor and never once was his penis the most important part of the story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My gut says that it's Jane and that Thor somehow merges with her to save her. They say it's a completely new character. Scratch that, here's more from Aaron today. Is this new Thor a character we've met already? Or is she a character we'll meet very soon? When I say new character I mean a new version of Thor. Who the person is behind the mask will be a big question mark. The Thor we know will not know the answer to that question. Odin won't know the answer to that. No one will know who this new Thor is. I'm not going to reveal who's behind the mask of this new Thor, but if you look back over "Thor: God of Thunder" you'll find quite a few suspects. We've had quite a few female characters who have played quite big roles in the series so far. We also have a few more who will be playing roles in the new series. So if you're looking for suspects we have quite a few of them. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=54083 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 They actually spoiled it a month or two ago when they revealed the Time Runs Out cover for Avengers. Superior Iron Man (still Tony) was also announced along with the Avengers NOW initiative (think Marvel NOW and All New Marvel NOW from the last two years).

Bustronaut Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Aww. I was guessing, based on the color scheme, that the Ghost had taken over Tony somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have no problem with Sam getting the shield, but it just seems like we just finished a "Cap's sidekick assumes the mantle of Captain America" story. I don't feel like enough time has passed to be doing this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeFnMachine Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The only Marvel books I currently read are Cap, Amazing Spider-Man, Deadpool, & Iron Man Seriously thinking of dropping Cap & Iron Man. The whole Tony Stark isn't really a Stark thing is convoluted and dumb and I have always really enjoyed Steve Rogers as Captain America. Why couldn't they just give Falcon his own book and really push him as a top tier hero? I loved Superior Spider-Man and I am really enjoying Amazing again. I also really dig Deadpool right now despit not picking up the Deadpool vs Dracula crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thor God of Thunder is probably my favorite Marvel title, and I have to agree with Jason Aaron. That book has three very different Thors, and as long as Aaron is writing it I'm sure having a female Thor is going to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel like enough time has passed to be doing this again. It hasn't. Bucky really never should have lost the mantle. That said I'm kind of ok with this. I actually like the idea of Falcon taking over. I just wish Marvel would actually stick with it for more than a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 So for all the complaining about FemThor, BlackCap, and all other righteous indignation based on changing a character, haven't the last few character upheavals been pretty damn good? I thought Superior Spider-Man was a win. Miles Morales as the new Ultimate Spider-Man has been damn good. Bringing back the original X-Men has been the most interesting part of the X-Men universe in years. What was the last one of these controversial character changes that wasn't at least pretty good?

Victator Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Is the Thor character becoming a woman, or does a woman find the hammer? Can't seem to get a straight answer in the news releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 So if it is just a lady getting the hammer, what is with the uproar? They have done this a ton of times (or maybe three), Wonder Woman had the hammer once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It'll be an ongoing thing. Not just a momentary one. Thor is also a way bigger deal now than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Shit, Eric Masterson had the hammer for years and Thor was effectively dead. This seems like a Marvel bait and switch for the media rubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 This seems like a Marvel bait and switch for the media rubes. Well yeah, but it can still be fun in the meantime, like Superior Spider-Man was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
