Thor #3 First Look

August 8th, 2007 by PCSbot

Thor #2 Strikes Like Lightning And Sells Out!

Marvel is pleased to announce that Thor #2, from the electrifying creative team of JMS and Olivier Coipel, has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). Featuring the stunning return of Asgard, the second issue of Marvel’s brand new ongoing series has met with thunderous applause from both fans and critics. To meet demand from fans, Marvel will be going back to press on Thor #2 with a new wraparound cover featuring the powerful interior art of Olivier Coipel!

“I’m hooked so far,” said Tim Janson of Newsarama.Com, calling Coipel’s rendition of Thor, “perhaps the most powerful Thor we’ve seen yet.”

Richard George of IGN.Com deemed the issue a “must read” and gushed, “JMS is bringing a beloved character back with style.”

Series editor Warren Simons explained, “The Thunder God has returned to the Marvel Universe with a vengeance. We couldn’t be happier with fan response to the first two issues of Thor, and things are just heating up. In issue # 3, JMS and Olivier bring Thor face to face with Iron Man, and Tony Stark is going to find out why it might not be such a great idea to clone a god…”

With a titanic confrontation between former friends on the horizon, and the return of Marvel’s most famous mythical kingdom, fans can’t miss this second chance to pick up Thor #2. And, spinning right out of Civil War, it’s Iron Man vs Thor in Thor #3! Lightning strikes once more, but when the dust clears, will Thor be the one left standing?

    Thor just keeps getting better. The first two issues were very good but they were also restrained in their pace. It looks like #3 is going to be quickening that pace quite abit. The art work is outstanding and I couldnt be happier. As long as JMS and friends treat Thor the way the guy at the top of the Marvel food chain deserves to be treated they can expect fan response to be very positive and then some.

    lets hope the story doesn’t go tits up. straczynski has done nothing but disappoint since the first story arc of rising stars. luckily coipel is stepping it up like whoah. along with timothy greene III i have renewed hope in marvel artists- i mean, one can only take so much lenil yu.

    there isn’t a book that i wouldn’t read if it was drawn by greene or coipel.
