Thor Looks Like a Lady!

Marvel has announced a big change for the 'Asgardian God of Thunder'. This October, Marvel will be starting a new era for Thor, as HE will now be a SHE.


“The inscription on Thor's hammer reads ‘Whosoever holds this hammer, if HE be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.’ Well it's time to update that inscription,” says Marvel editor Wil Moss. “The new Thor continues Marvel's proud tradition of strong female characters like Captain Marvel, Storm, Black Widow and more. And this new Thor isn't a temporary female substitute - she's now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!”


According to Marvel:

"THOR will be the 8th title to feature a lead female protagonist and aims to speak directly to an audience that long was not the target for super hero comic books in America: women and girls."

I'm personally super excited about this change. There needs to be more bad ass female leads in comics. What are your thoughts on this change? Let me know in the comments!
