Thor reimagined as a woman

 

Will she now be know as Hor?

 

It was one of the more bizarre twists in the Marvel world, is he/she going to have a sex change or is it going to be a "someone broke his hammer" kind of thing?

 

What puzzles me is the question: will a female Thor wield a handbag rather than a hammer?

 

regards,

Hein

Apparently the comic book fans are now getting upset that Captain America is going to be black.

 

They can cope with an African American president but not a fav comic book character.

There are a good few people that have problems with the president being black. If the president isn't a white middle-aged man, they get worried that he's not going to be a good christian.

His mangas marked a turning away from escapism, more towards gritty, realistic story-telling of the disillusionment of ordinary people.

Response "that's what catch-all Dead of 2015 is there for"
