Official Press release below:
MARVEL PROUDLY PRESENTS
THOR
New York, NY – July 15th, 2014 – Marvel is excited to announce an all-new era for the God of Thunder in brand new series,
THOR, written by Jason Aaron (Thor:
God of Thunder, Original Sin) complimented with art from Russell Dauterman (Cyclops).
This
October, Marvel Comics evolves once again in one of the most shocking
and exciting changes ever to shake one of Marvel’s “big three” – Captain
American, Iron Man and Thor – Marvel Comics will be introducing an
all-new THOR, GOD OF THUNDER. No longer is the classic male hero able to hold the mighty hammer,
Mjölnir, a brand new female hero will emerge who will be worthy of the name
THOR. Who is she? Where did she come from and what is her connection to Asgard and the Marvel Universe?
“The inscription on Thor's hammer reads ‘Whosoever
holds this hammer, if HE be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.’
Well it's time to update that inscription,” says Marvel editor Wil Moss.
“The new Thor continues Marvel's proud tradition
of strong female characters like Captain Marvel, Storm, Black Widow and
more. And this new Thor isn't a temporary female substitute - she's now
the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!”
Series writer Jason Aaron emphasizes, “This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is
THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before.”
THOR is the latest in the ever-growing and long list of female-centric
titles that continues to invite new readers into the Marvel Universe. This female
THOR is the 8th title to feature a lead female protagonist and
aims to speak directly to an audience that long was not the target for Super Hero comic books in America: women and girls.
