Regarding that `What If?`...Thordis? Really,that is an awful name,wouldn`t Thora be more apt and less cumbersome,and not resemble a certain Timelord`s mode of transport?

I think when they did this back in 2000 it was Thor Girl. I didn't read it but I saw it on shelves.

In my first five minutes online today I learned about the female Thor and saw the picture of dying, bullet-pierced Archie with blood oozing through his shirt.  These publishers disgust me more and more with every bit of news.

Doug and John have the right take on this. The fanboys have taken over, and they're going insane.

Not that I'm a Jung fan but Comics needs someone to come along and heal the Fisher King. Or they need a reset event metaphorically equivalent to Chicxulub.

When uncle Walt Simonson did it, it was a horse-faced alien. What was HE thinking?

Thor's been replaced before. There's been a distaff Thor before. There are many things to complain about with modern Marvel, but I think this one is relatively innocuous.

THOR isn't a title, like being a Green Lantern, that's the characters' name. We have a Hulk Family, now we're going to have a Thor Family, All because no one wants to create original characters, that Marvel will then OWN. When was the last time Marvel created a new character, that wasn't a derivative of already-established heroes? Pandering to a demographic that isn't there in the first place. What a waste. The current Marvel creative couldn't find their asses with both hands. More Fan-Fiction BS.

Now? That complaint should have been lodged 23 years ago.

Is that cover a justification that character brand extension is a GOOD IDEA?!?
 Isn't one of them dead? And the other one (Beta Ray Bill) barely used now?
This cover just proves that the House Of "Ideas" keeps making the same mistakes over and over again.
 
Doesn't matter anyway, Brand Loyalty trumps all. Fanboys (whoever's left) will rush in, buy the new Female Thor, then get bored with it as usual, till the next "Event", when the real Thor comes back, right around Avengers 2.

Wash, rinse, repeat, WHATEVER.
