The great hammer Mjölnir lies on the surface of the moon, unable to be lifted by anyone in all the heavens – even the Mighty Thor! Something dark has befallen the Thunder God, leaving him unworthy and unable to lift his magic hammer. With an army of Frost Giants invading Earth, the Odinson may not have the strength to stop them – and the hammer will be lifted by an all-new Thor! A mysterious woman unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before!

I look forward to this. They always return to the status quo at some point, so why not experiment now and again?

Digging that "Thor" logo on the cover. I see what they did there and they did it well.

"Mjolnor"

Wait, did They already say it wasn't going to be Valkyrie???
Also:

1) If he was so ashamed of this "unworthy" moment of time, why keep the book? (Which I'm glad he did or else his granddaughters would have never found it, and we might not have known of this female Thor)

2) Odin could be partially to blame for this, if he was the one to originate whatever it was that Fury whispered into Thor's ear.

I can't wait to see how Thor loses that arm. Maybe a Frost Giant takes it.

I can't wait for a bunch of people who don't read the comics to chime in with their unwarranted, impotent fanboy outrage...

Aaron's Thor run has been epic and awesome. This looks like a great time. Count me in.

Who was the Thor before Thor?

After this story is done, give the granddaughters their own series. Getting away from Grandpa Thor and traveling through the universe.

@Rpendo
Most of the rage stems from people misunderstanding that Thor himself is not having a sex change.

@Rependo: Chiming in. And I've read the comics for a very, very, long time.

While in keeping with standard Marvel "cheap pop" practice, this is garbage.

And thanks again to Fraction for "Asgardia."

I think this is really interesting and i'm actually on board with this.

Hilarious. Marvel wanted her to be just Thor not "Thorita" not "Lady Thor" nor "Female Thor." Still people will call her the "Female God of Thunder" rather than just "God of Thunder"

@MantiniuMan

I'd be fine with a Female Zeus. It would be cool.
MsDarkPhoenix
MsDarkPhoenix - 9/29/2014, 7:16 AM
Would the female Zeus act like Zeus and go [frick] everyone and then have kids with them?

And the male Hera would get mad every time?

MercwithMouth - 9/29/2014, 7:16 AM
Honestly... This looks fantastic.

And I gotta agree with @MonsterSquad35, that cover logo is badass. Using Mjolnir for the H and O is awesome.

@MsDarkPhoenix

Is that not the Greek way?

Jason Aaron is a good writer,this could be a great turning point.

Nailed it.

Stupid, doesn't she have a name of her own ? Thor is not a title.
MsDarkPhoenix

You guys... Greeks are the best lovers ;)
SauronsBANE
SauronsBANE - 9/29/2014, 7:30 AM
Haha literally every Greek tragedy involving the gods could've been avoided if Zeus had just kept it in his pants. A female version of Zeus would be ridiculously entertaining!
SauronsBANE
SauronsBANE - 9/29/2014, 7:31 AM
And thank GOD Marvel decided to just make a female Thor rather than naming her "Thorita" or "Lady Thor" or anything like that. That would've been awful.

@indoorsman

Exactly - it will be returned to what it was sooner or later.
(Spider clone/ electric superman/ etc)

This story of Thor not being worthy is so played out. Do something else Marvel like kill him, oh wait.....

don't worry the real thor will be back in six months,just in time for the release of avengers age of ultron.

A dude should become the new aphrodite to compensate.

This will be a fun little twist for awhile...will probably see the switch back around Thor 3 release.

@MercwithMouth - I don't know about that logo. I think it looks sloppy.

@Primordiac - I agree. "Thor" isn't a title. It's someone's friggin' name !
Still, I will check this title out. I've not read every issue
until now to just gove up ^_^

I'm guessing the new "Thor" is (SPOILER ???) Frigga ?
What other woman would be worthy at this point ?
YeezusWept
YeezusWept - 9/29/2014, 8:25 AM
It's probably Squirrel Girl... Yeah, it's Squirrel Girl.

@JorL5150 - Hahahaha, was thinking the same thing.

@silverhawk - Was thinking the same thing too, oh well they've been screwing Thor over since Rulk came on the scene.

@RetroFit - Odin could say either one really, and he kind of did.
