[Version 3.0]

They mean the Big Three in terms of Avengers. Overall, the big 3 is probably Spidey, Iron Man, and Wolverine.

Oh, that makes sense. I'd say their biggest 3 characters has probably changed over the years, but it's always included Spidey. Iron Man was definitely not one of them until his movie turned out so well (I always said he'd make a great movie hero). But now, yeah, you've probably picked the right three.

Those mentioning sales, it doesn't matter how well female Thor does in comics sales. They will switch back to regular Thor in a year or two. Superior Spider-man was pretty much Marvel's best selling regular series, and they still brought Peter Parker back in time for Amazing Spider-man 2.

That's how event comics work. Big sales when they change the status quo, then big sales when it switches back to normal.

 

[MartyStu]

But we've seen Thor's daughters, tho.

They refer to him as their grandfather in issue #20.

 

[Vocal Orgasmizzle]

So this is a Supergirl/Batgirl type thing? Makes sense. Hopefully it won't suck as much as Spider-Girl.

 

[Extra Sauce]

I remember when major Marvel Comics story twists were shown some respect. Now Marvel honchos announce them to the media in advance and the Internet makes damn sure that everyone knows about it, whether they want to or not.

Superior Spidey was always supposed to be temporary tho. It would be dumb as hell to even entertain the possibility of that being permanent.

arno stark makes a comeback

Arno is running around in uncanny Avengers with Doom 2099 right now

 

[TheKaeptain]

She's ready.

Who is this?

 

[SDBurton]

So:

Wolverine

Spoiler

has lost his healing factor, and is scheduled to die in September.

Captain America

Spoiler

has lost the super soldier serum, aged 70 years in an instant, and is handing his shield to a new, black Captain America who is speculated to be Falcon

Thor is now unworthy of his hammer and has handed it off to a new female Thor who many speculate to be Angela.

I wonder what Marvel is planning, shelving so many key characters right now.

I take a 5-6 month break from reading comics and shit hits the fan. What the hell is going on with Marvel?!

 

[Levi]

Who is this?

She's from Vikings, according to Google. I'm watching that show now.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Who is this?

You've got some catching up to do...

 

[Dysun]

I'm cool with it, but it won't last more than a year like everything. Design is bad though

 

[Reversed]

That face.

Femto vibes.

 

[kswiston]

This won't be any more permanent. All of Marvel's big heroes have had one or more replacements. I can't think of any that stuck.

 

[MartyStu]

Yup. Deaths are more likely to stick than replacements.

Which reminds me, is Jubilee picking up the slack after Logan bites it or was Aaron just fucking with us?

Regarding Superior:

Spoiler

He's making another appearance with the multiverse spidey arc. Also, weren't there solicits for more issues of Superior, which detail his adventures when he was out of the timestream?

 

[Slayven]

I imagining a wacky buddy comedy

Fucking Wally West was the flash for like 20 years, and they still brought Barry back LMAO

This tells me nothing.

 

[Manmademan]

Zero chance that happens. Battle of the atom's future is like 30 something years from now. They aren't leaving wolverine dead for 30 years. 30 months is a stretch

 

[the escape plan]

I like the Jason Aaron Thor series. I'll give it a chance, but I do wonder what the payoff for all these recent huge changes will be.

 

[Discotheque]

This tells me nothing.

Katheryn Winnick. A martial arts black belt and waifu of the year

 

[TheKaeptain]

Thank you disco.

 

[Levi]

This tells me nothing.

It took me three seconds to load that picture into Google and get a thousand results about this actress and show, neither of which I was very aware of beforehand. Instead of being snotty and linking you to Google I answered your question, which I now regret. Google it yourself next time.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Dat entitlement.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

Wait is Thor like a title given to whomever wields Mjolnir?

I am confuse

yeah kinda, if you are worthy you get his power, the power "of Thor" bascially you get mjolnirs enchanted hammer powers. Otherwise Thor is still son of Gaia and Odin he's like part elder god. Someone is basically getting his gear.

[NEO0MJ]

Wait, Doom 2099 is back?!

 

[PsychBat!]

Arno is running around in uncanny Avengers with Doom 2099 right now

No, in the current Iron Man run it's revealed that

Spoiler

Tony Stark is adopted and Arno Stark is the real kid of Howard and Maria. Arno then partners up with Tony doing shenanigans.

 

[Parallax]

Arno is running around in uncanny Avengers with Doom 2099 right now

Without kang of course

 

[thetechkid]

I'm a little behind but whys Thor is unworthy of Mjolnir?

 

[kswiston]

That's another thing that will be retconned in a few years.

 

[PsychBat!]

No one knows the specifics as it hasn't happened yet.

You should check out the show. Second season has put it over game of thrones

 

[PsychBat!]

There's no point in telling you that it's not a gender swap anymore, is there?

 

[NEO0MJ]

The way Marvel announced it seemed to have confused a lot of people.

 

[Levi]

It's a funny internet picture. Funny internet pictures can be funny even if they don't match comics canon.

“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.”

This is dumb, Thor isnt a title it's a name. We've had other people fill in for superheroes before, at least give her her own identity if you're going this way

 

[super-famicom]

"I would have words with thee"

I WANT ONE OF THESE.

Ayuh

Tony was a chick himself not too long ago. I thought he was gonna say, "It's cool, same shit happened to me."

 

[Yrael]

Lokitty beats all.

Did you know there is actually a longer track?

[Kinsei]

This seems like a really bad idea to me. They don't seem to be trying to attract female readers going if her design is any indication, so why risk pissing off your misogynist readers?

When will this stupid trend of boob armor end?

I don't get this post.
What is she supposed to be wearing?

 

[WanderingWind]

She's ready.

If somebody doesn't cast her in some ass-kicking superhero movie as a main figure, they have failed at life.
