Marvel is excited to announce an all-new era for the God of Thunder in brand new series, THOR, written by Jason Aaron complimented with art from Russell Dauterman.
This October, Marvel Comics evolves once again in one of the most shocking and exciting changes ever to shake one of the “big three” of Captain America, Iron Man and Thor. No longer is the classic Thunder God able to hold the mighty hammer, Mjölnir, and a brand new female hero will emerge 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. THOR will be 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.

Gamers declared Legendary™: A Marvel Deck Building Game a hit when they played as Marvel Super Heroes trying to save the day, but things are about to change. Upper Deck will be releasing the fourth series expansion, rightfully named Villains, which will flip gameplay upside down and allow fans to play as the evil Marvel villains. All of a sudden, being bad never felt so good! The Villains core set expansion will include 550 playable cards featuring incredible original artwork.
For the first time ever, fans can play as Marvel villains and attempt to take out the Super Heroes who are challenged to protect the city. New for this set are 15 playable allies, seven adversary groups, four commanders, four back-up adversaries and eight new plots! Additionally, gamers will be able to use new Hydra-themed starting hands along with new bystanders!
The game will feature an assortment of Marvel’s greatest villains including Magneto, Venom and Dr. Octopus as they battle some of the most heroic characters in the Marvel Universe. With subtle changes to the game board and game play, the Villains core set provides fans with a whole new playable experience and rubberized play mat with a long-lasting and transportable board to battle on.
“Since the Marvel villains are such polarizing characters who do occasionally win, we thought fans would love the opportunity to play as the ‘bad guy’ for once,” said Jason Brenner, Upper Deck’s director of entertainment brands. “What makes this expansion so compelling is that it is 100% compatible with every other Legendary™ set we have put out to date. We recently ran demos at the Origins Game Fair and fans were chomping at the bit to get their hands on the actual product. I guess people are looking forward to being bad.”
Play with or against friends in this evil new deck-building game from Upper Deck which will release in early July!
Now that Mark Ruffalo’s giving lots more interviews about his role in “Avengers: Age Of Ultron” and he’s talking about the possibility of another solo Hulk movie, there are certain questions that are being repeated and rehashed in a million different ways and places, and watching from the sidelines without comment is becoming impossible for me.
