There has been a lot of confusion over what's actually going on with the popular long time Marvel character Thor and I want to clear up a couple of things. Thor's not going through a change in gender, Thor is essentially losing his hammer. Rumor has it that a story line based on the "original sin," arc will feature Thor losing his hammer as well as suffering and injury to his left arm, which will lead into Thor the God King. This also leads to old Thor's new weapon, which is technically pretty old, the Dwarven crafted Jarnbjorn. A large axe known as the "wrecker of worlds," that's also imbued with Thor's blood, allowing it to pierce celestial armor. So for those of you worried if Thor will be lame without his hammer, don't worry, he'll be ok. His image is also resembling the future version of God King Thor, shown on Thor: God of Thunder as well. As for the new Thor, the character who hasn't officially been named yet, was once saved in a battle by Thor himself and will be deemed worthy by being pure of heart and of good nature in the new comic series debuting this fall. Also, she's not the first female, or other character for that matter, to wield this might hammer. Even X-men characters Storm, who was tricked by Loki into using a imitation of the hammer, which she later destroys with Mjolnir and even character Rogue. Even Captain America in the Fear Itself comic book arc! In all honesty, I still think Marvels changes are going to be great and add some awesome characters as well as open some new doors. As far as how they'll affect the movie franchise, we'll have to wait and see. For now, take a look at the latest sketches for the new Thor design and look for the new Thor #1 series this fall.
