Please call Michael Avon Oeming and order a new Ragnarok, Thor and the Asgardians need a clean slate to wash away the aftertaste of Aaron’s tenure.

I'm definitely hoping someone with some Thor enthusiasm to come along give us some fresh stories. NO PHOENIX baby mama drama mess, NO HAMMER ISSUES, NO DRUNKEN Odin fights (actually either revive him or let him go ahead on to Valhalla), maybe some fresh new villains.

Cates wasn't bad, but he struggles to stick the endings of his stories and it seemed like he couldn't fully tell the stories he wanted to because he was constantly on the defensive of whatever Aaron was doing in Avengers, when it should have been the other way around.

I hope they relaunch Thor with a strong creative team and direction.

they need to move away from "epic" storylines and do more Asgardian intrigue and introspective stories. That was one of the things I loved about the JMS run.

Honestly, the current story is good with Bor having a secret weapon and Doom and Corvus Glaive trying to get it but the same Thanos connection hurts it cuz I'm sick of Thanos.

I just want to see Thor be an effective hero again without self-doubt or Odin/Hammer angst.

Exactly. I'm fed up of seeing Thor this way for many years now.
I would like to see a new writer on Thor who actually WANTS to write the character and treat him with the upmost respect like JMS did.
But who's out there that would do this? These type of writers are few and far between.
Didn't Will Moss say in an interview a while back that they will address Thor's situation for a new writer when they were discussing the Hulk's future?

To be honest, I don't want to see a return of a writer who already wrote Thor, I just want to see someone new who respects the character and has fresh new stories to tell that doesn't undermine him.

Sounds like Thor has the same problem that Black Panther currently has. As time goes on its only going to get worse because we are going to have an entire generation of writers who saw those dumb movies and think that that's Thor's character. If Marvel is still making comics that far into the future.

On the bright side people are also growing up on stuff like God of War Ragnarok's Thor or Record of Ragnarok's Thor.

So while its not Marvel Thor, there are still at least cool depictions of the figure which can transfer over from wanting to make sure Thor is consistently cool across all depictions of him. I've seen plenty of people disappointed in how comical he's written in the films compared to his more cool self.

Hell when God of War's version came out, it inspired plenty of people to say Hemsworth's version should be retooled into more of the brutal Viking look/tone of the GoW character.

Torrun’s run thus far hasn’t been bad.

I’m actually curious whats going to happen with Doom. Her stuff is much more of pure mythology than Cates.

The only problem I see is that she’s been tasked with completing Cates story. That’s going to be complicated because there’s stuff with Thanos that Cates set-up in his first Thor arc and his Thanos title.

What issue is this from? I don’t think it’s from Walt’s run.

Also, who would you like to see write Thor who hasn’t wrote him before in his main book?
