Thor Is Now Female

I was going to write about this earlier today, but then work got in the way. But yesterday, Marvel Comics announced on "The View" of all places that Thor was being relaunched as a female Goddess of Thunder in October 2014. Her secret identity will initially remain a secret, but she will begin appearing in THOR #1:

“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... And this new Thor isn't a temporary female substitute - she's now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!"

Series writer Jason Aaron emphasizes, “This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before.”

Something has happened or will happen that makes Thor Odinson no longer worthy of wielding Mjolnir. He will still be around, but I guess will be something less than what he is now.

Meanwhile, this new female Thor will be be running around defending the world from Frost Giants during her first adventure. So that should be interesting.

Meanwhile, there is supposed to be a big announcement tonight on tonight's "Colbert Report" featuring Captain America. He recently had his super-soldier serum sucked out of his body, which turned him into an old man. The running theory is that the new Captain America's identity will be revealed tonight. The open secret is that it will be Sam Wilson AKA the Falcon. We shall know later tonight!

Also, it has been said that there will be a major change involving Iron Man. I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty certain that this new Iron Man will be Arno Stark.
