Greg Land kills any excitement I could have had.
Greg Land is still at Marvel?
Interesting.
He's pretty up there in age (I believe he's near 70?), good on him for still getting work. Although, I'm not really a fan of his recent work.
Hopefully Land only draws the ****ty Thor
Which that would be funny cause of how perfectly fitting to have a ****ty cheap artist drawing the cheap corporate swill
Seems like Ewing is going back at his meta critic of how Marvel and Marvel readers hate change and always want to go back to how things were when they started reading comics.
I'm definitely on his side here, but the fact he'll likely be using Jane to make his point will let a bad taste in my mouth. Aaron really soured me on the character with his lack of subtility.
It would be great if, instead of using Jane as a counterpoint to "Valkyrie of old", he re-introduced Dani Moonstar in the asgardian mythos. It's not like the X-office has big plans for her besides being a glorified babysitter.
Also I wish Ewing did that kind of story during his time with the X-books, instead of wanking one of the Not New Not Different X-Men while sidelining other characters like Sunspot, Armor, Nova or Wiz Kid.

Bringing back the old, killing the young: that's the Marvel way
Huh I'm now thinking the appearance of Brunnhilde and Heimdall on Roxxon's side is a critique of bringing back dead/heavily changed characters and watering them down in the process to keep using them/keeping them as they originally are.

Roxxon Presents: Thor (2024) #1
Published: April 17, 2024
Writer: Al Ewing
Penciler: Greg Land
Cover Artist: Greg Land
From the pages of IMMORTAL THOR - the ROXXON AGE OF COMIXX BEGINS! In his secret identity as A.I. spokesguru CHAD HAMMER, the son of Odin knows Mama Gaea is a TOP PRIORITY for heroes AND for business! But when a group of insane environmental activists take "saving the Earth" TOO FAR, it's time to show them the wisdom on BOTH sides - AS THOR! But WHICH God of Evil is prompting the kids to rebel? Could it be...LOKI, GOD OF EVIL??? Featuring an all-star cast of heroes! MINOTAUR! EXECUTIONER! ENCHANTRESS! And the THOR-TRUCK! This is the story of THE ROXXIN' THOR... and it's a VITAL part of the "ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTION" MEGA-EVENT!
Okay so it is a separate series as apart of an upcoming story-event, so that means the normal book should still have the good artist.
Also Chad Hammer and that dig against centrism, ha!
