Great news: Thor’s getting a sex change

After 73 years, Archie of Archie comic books is killed off. Now this. And why isn't the new she-Thor a lesbian? This is bound to piss off lesbians.

[SirLurkedalot]

Arrgh...not only did they blow the sequel (the Beta Ray Bill story arc would have been perfect, considering the direction the Avengers sequel appears to be taking) but now this? Seriously?

[KarlInOhio]

And why isn't the new she-Thor a lesbian?

Sif isn't going to swing that way.

[Jonty30]

Marvel has long defined that Thor’s power is transferrable and it doesn’t have to be male. Wonder Woman was considered worthy to carry his hammer during one of the crossovers.

This is not unprecedented in the least, within the parameters long set by Marvel.

[98ZJ USMC]

I wish Marvel would leave the social commentary to more sophisticated comics, like Archie.

That's a joke, right?

[chessplayer]

Next on the agenda will probably be making the Invisible Girl into a man.

[P.O.E.]

[SirLurkedalot]

lol My comment wasnt sexist in the least, I’m just tired of reboots.

I stopped collecting/reading comics in the late 90’s...Marvel titles were my favorites and I’m in nostalgia mode lately...the last batch of movies have been really cool overall...Iron Man in particular.

[SirLurkedalot]

Yum...nevermind, I can deal with that lol.

A cosplayer gives us a preview of coming attractions.

Well...uh...I mean.....

(Y’know...she ain’t that bad lookin’......)

[P.O.E.]

My thoughts exactly.

[lee martell]

Do you think this latest gender change through the revolving doors will be temporary? I don’t buy those books anymore, but am still interested in what the young ones are reading. Looks like they finally moved on from Harry Potter.

[Olog-hai]

Kill it before it grows.

[Bullish]

If anyone reading this is over 13 and still reading comic books you have my sympathy.

[SirLurkedalot]

A “What if” issue or miniseries wouldn’t be a problem for me, it’s just the ‘let’s go PC and screw the old-school fans if they don’t like it etc” trend that irritates me. Comics were a big part of my childhood, and like I commented to Jonty30, I’m tired of reboots...Dagnabbit.

[Bullish]

Ok, now we’re talking.... Maybe not such a bad thing after all.

[SirLurkedalot]

LOL

Until the mid 90s, Comics had far more in depth and engrossing stories than anything on TV and better than many fiction novels.

Then PC took total control. See X-Men “Days of Future past/Present” and “Dark Phoenix” saga for the real deal. Not the crap movie rip offs. One could even include X-tinction Agenda.

I feel sorry for those that havent read them. And with walls full of fiction I have read over they years, I have plenty to compare it to.

[KarlInOhio]

Back in my day if we wanted to find out about Thor we'd read the Elder Edda in its original Icelandic and we liked it.

[SirLurkedalot]

Amen.
