Below is Marvel's official press release:
"Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Thor: First Thunder #1, from the red-hot creative team of Harvey Award Winning writer, Bryan J. Glass and Eisner Award winning artist Tan Eng Huat! Get a look at Thor’s historic origin like never before as Glass and Huat bring to light untold revelations of his past that will have everyone talking. Why was Thor cast out of Asgard? And what happened when the fallen Odinson first met Captain America and Iron Man? Find out the answers to these questions and more this September in Thor: First Thunder #1!"
I have been told, by industry insiders, that this is a prequel to Kenneth Branagh's 'Thor', hitting theaters May 6th 2011. My source could be wrong as Marvel's official press release says nothing about that at all. Or it could be that Marvel is keeping the prequel bit under wraps untill we get closer to May 6th of next year? Or it could not be related at all in any way shape or form! You be the judge.
Either way 'Thor: First Thunder #1' is an updated take on Thor's origins and is available September 15, 2010! Check it out!!
