Yeah, sorry to disappoint you Axel and Jason but you're not going to convince me to stop calling them Lady Thor and Thor Odinson. Thor's still his name, far as I'm concerned.

insight? you mean barely tell us anything except a generic description of each book

Why is Greg Land drawing Uncanny X-Men again? I am not a fan. Oh, and most dinosaurs had feathers!!!

anyone else disappointed that Champions And Invincible Iron-Man got a couple questions asked about them but GLA got one note and that's it...



they've never had an ongoing book before and given their status as obscure losers You'd think there would be more to say

When GLA has plenty of SJW controversy to juice about, maybe?

Jane Thor is more appropriate unless you do that only out of hate

Jane Thor is more appropriate unless you do that only out of hate

She's a Lady and Lady isn't an insulting title far as I can tell. Jane Thor is fine though, but Lady Thor comes better off the tongue for me.

It's actually funny how much more confused I am due to those Moon Knight pages.

No Robbie Reyes(Ghost Rider/Racer) in Champions, I think I'll pass thanks.

[tsaimelemoni]

Give me some Elektra info, plz

She's a Lady and Lady isn't an insulting title far as I can tell. Jane Thor is fine though, but Lady Thor comes better off the tongue for me.

The thing is that she's supposed to be the main Thor for now instead of just a female counterpart like She-Hulk or Supergirl. I wouldn't have a problem with her actually staying as a hero with another codename, but that seems to be one of those things people use because they refuse to accept the current role/identity.

I can't say I care one lick about whatever new publicity Marvel is trying to drum up, but DAT MOON KNIGHT PREVIEW ART. Stokoe, Torres, Francaville assisting Smallwood on art looks mega awesome.

It's not in my case, I like her for the most part, but I can't call her just Thor. And as I said Lady Thor isn't meant to be insulting, it just differentiates her from the other guy and doesn't register the stupidity of giving your actual name up to somebody because they've taken your place somewhat.

That was a pretty terrible interview, with big claims like Thor ( Jane) has always out sold Thor when he was he title character. Well not really if you factor in other runs and the fact he got no main stream attention unlike the Jane version. Also if you look the sales have pretty much gone back to what they where and that might be why they are pulling the trigger on an Odinson Thor solo. Try to milk people for 8 bucks a month to read one story.

I really hope when that preview book comes out they are holding onto some gems because as of right now my marvel pull list might be Moon Knight, Power Man and Iron Fist and Great Lakes. Which is the lowest it's been in 15 years.
