    Yeah, if it is him I'll likely skip it for more of the foreseeable

    What I want to see is Dr. Donald Blake become Thor's persona once again.

    Cates on Thor would would be great. Everything he touches turns to gold.

    No thanks! Enough humiliations already! Last thing we need is a Doctor with a limp getting smacked around every 60 seconds.

    Of course, come to think of it Aaron's Thor never really had friends or much of a supporting cast that weren't either family members, created by Aaron or reduced to wallpaper.
    Not to mention the fact that Hyperion might come looking to beat down the impostor who stole his “brother’s” hammer and spirit. Hyperion classically doesn’t give a hoot about gender so Jane would’ve been in trouble. But yeah...no way would Aaron give her a legitimate threat! No. He powers down Thor’s and makes them simple Ironman level threats so she can win.

    (When my sister moved to Nottingham..only 25 miles away...I was surprised how much idiom had different overtones in the two areas, even that short distance made a substantial difference.)
    Thanks for the info! I've always thought English people have some of the best phrases. I'm also partial to some Yiddish phrases, they have some insults that just fit so perfectly.
    It's fascinating how much difference even 25 miles can make... There's an idea that we're so global nowadays but I often encounter people who describe places that are 20 minutes away as "all the way out there". Anyway thanks again, sorry for the sidebar.

    Older American ones are fun too like, "That really chaps my hide" or "It rubs me raw" the former one is fun because it makes you sound like a cowboy

    I can hardly remember an issue where he actually interacted with any of the Warrior's Three, beyond that issue where he ditched them for a Seven Realms equivalent or where he was helpless against War Thor Volstagg.

    I can only recall one time he interacted with Sif as well...where he investigated her for being the female Thor and got mead thrown in his face.

    So, yeah, kind of not a large circle of friends for Thor there. But I don't think Aaron has really done much good for Thor's supporting cast in the long run.

    I think it depends on a lot of factors. A writer can enjoy or like another writer's take but do their own thing when they get a shot.

    I doubt Cates would want to repeat Aaron. At best he might continue some of his story beats but it's not like he has to deal with Jane Foster anymore.

    So who knows, he could be given Captain America.
    Coates' run doesn't seem to be slowing down, so I doubt it's Cap.

    Except Death of the Inhumans, from what I've heard...

    I'd be down for Bunn writing more Thor, if only on a satellite title again .

    He'd be towards the bottom of my list honestly. I put him in the same category as Duggan, Waid, David, Guggenheim etc, people who are stale to me. I'm really hoping for a fresh voice. People like Ayala, Eve Ewing, Howard, Grace, Ahmed, if we're just talking about current Marvel writers.

    I'd like to see what becomes of Annabelle Riggs under him, after Brun died. I'd like her to become one of the new Valkyrie's or Nova seeing how she can use the helmet or some type of hybrid between Valkyrie/Nova

    A space based Valkyrie would interest me

    I think Annabelle is showing up in the new Valkyrie book.
