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.

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?

Sif isn't going to swing that way.

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

That's a joke, right?

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.

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

Maybe he’s been a male lesbian all along?

Give her time. Let her kill a few villains; then she'll have time to explore her sexuality more fully. /S

Mythologically this isn't outside the realms of the Norse gods. They were a perverse bunch.

Just looks at the origins of Sleipnir.

Nobody is going to buy a comic book about Thor-azine. Sales will tank, the franchise will wither and die, and Wonder Bra will slink back to Asgard with her ... tail ... between her legs.

This is nothing compared to the rumors that Spider-Man is going to turn gay and the next Mary Jane is gonna be a guy.

I’ll be the odd man out here. I highly doubt this is any kind of stunt to promote lesbianism or an attempt to be politically correct. This is most likely a money grabbing a attempt to draw in a bunch of testosterone males. The super hero genre is overfilled with jacked men, and it’s getting stale. What better way to regain someone’s interest than with boobs? Also, this could very well draw a whole new demographic into the theater. Maybe a father’s little girl will finally be interested in a genre he loves because there is a female in the lead role. I don’t know.

Jack Kirby is spinning in his grave.

Instead of a hammer, she’ll carry a giant vibrator.
