Thor is a Woman! submitted by hanxanth on June 12, 2015, 8:37am In previous issues of Thor, the mighty God of Thunder has been transformed into a variety of forms (including a frog). This time, Thor Odinson is told a shocking piece of information making him suddenly unworthy to wield the mighty hammer Mjolnir. Dejected, Thor tries futilely to lift his hammer from the place where it fell from his grasp on the moon. The rest of Asgard tries and fails to lift the hammer (including Odin himself!), and eventually leave it to it's cold, lonely fate.

Enter a woman. We don't know who she is, or where she came from, but she can lift up Mjolnir. Her hair turns blonde, armor surrounds her body, and she can command the forces of lightning. Meet the new Thor! Follow the new wielder of lightning, the one deemed worthy by the hammer!

I never read the original Thor, but this new Thor is totally awesome. She's tough, sassy, and a perfect blend of Asgard and Midgard. It's definitely worth a read, especially if you're into comics that support strong female leads!

Thorette? submitted by tbbrown76 on July 7, 2018, 10:16pm Not buying the premise. But, we do have two genders, so why not?

More Please submitted by majean on July 27, 2019, 3:23pm I wish there was more with this Thor; I really liked her. I still have trouble understanding how Thor is a character apart from, well, Thor, but I think it works.
