Chris Sprouse and Karl Story — Love and Thunder
Thors #4, January 2016
Thor “4” is entitled Love and Thunder.
Love and Thunder?
Sounds potentially a bit comedic. But if only “a bit”… I’m ok with that.
Thor Ragnarok mixed seriousness with humor as well. I like the film — and mass audiences responded to it very much— but it comes a bit close to camp in places.
Fingers crossed that a new film doesn’t cross that line that line completely.
I’m definitely intrigued to see Thor’s pal girlfriend Jane Foster take on the Thor role. (It’s already happened in the comics.) Might we have more than one Thor when the film ends?
Maybe. Chris Hemsworth has said he isn’t planning on going anywhere if he has anything to say about it, so who knows.
We can have more than one Thor. We have had at least a few in the main Marvel Universe. And throw in alternate realities, the multiverse, etc., and you have many, many Thors.
Case in point: This Secret Wars (2015) spin-off, appropriately titled Thors. The plot is too complex to cover in detail here, but in this pivotal splash on Doomgard, Jane Foster attempts to rally the other Thors to fight a common foe instead of each other.
See, she’s not only Thor — she’s now a leader among Thors.
And great art, as always, by the terrific team of Chris Sprouse and Karl Story.
“Ink and Thunder” sounds about right to me.
