Jeremy, my office's accountant, is retiring soon. Will he pass on his name to his replacement? She's really attached to the name Alice.

Only if he has a really bitchin' copy of Excel that only she can wield.

Female Thor appears, has anyone checked what Jane Foster is doing at the moment?

No, but Detective Thor Odinson is on the case and he will crack this mystery.

I am 99% sure that Hickman took it from there just because it's really infamous. There's a million options and he happens to pick the one that actually happened and has had nerds snickering for fifty years? And that's not like a misprint in Thor #242; it's giving the character the wrong name in his first appearance.

Aha; I wasn't trying to challenge it, I just didn't realize how well-known a misprint that was. I'd never heard of it before, I didn't realize it was so significant and it seemed like the sort of thing that could be coincidental. Neat!

I like how Kelda's on the list. Because the new Thor is someone who needs the hammer to fly and summon thunder and lightning, and she can't do either of- wait...

I like that Loki is on the list. It wouldn't be the weirdest thing he's done.

the chillest
I wouldn't be surprised if Thor thinks Loki is responsible but just put him at the bottom of the list anyway because investigating Loki's schemes is a massive headache that can't be solved by hitting things with a hammer, and he really doesn't want to deal with that unless he absolutely has to

I'm wondering how long they're going to stretch this out. I am getting to the point where I'm less intrigued by the mystery and more just want to know who the gently caress I'm reading about.

I thought Loki was on the list because he's literally turned himself into a woman on several occasions.

Mostly to gently caress with Thor. :v:

Probably more just a reference to that stretch of time back during JMS' run that Loki turned himself into a woman.


But speaking of Loki and Axis... Loki Agent of Asgard #8 has Loki trying to stop an inverted, drunk-as-gently caress Odinson from wrecking up Vegas but he's on the wrong side of town!

Shape-shifting has always been one of loki's powers, so being worthy of carrying the hammer seems like the bigger deal to me.

Thor putting him down purely on principle sounds the most appealing though.

It's standalone, but it does feature a recurring villain from Jason Aaron's Thor: God of Thunder run that lasted for 25 issues that immediately preceded this Thor volume. God of Thunder is a good run, but it's not essential if you're only interested in the current Thor.

God of Thunder is so loving metal, though. You should read it anyways, it's really good and the same writer.

Hey, speaking of God of Thunder. From Issue 12:

Thor has just saved the universe's gods from the God Butcher, with the help of his past and future selves. Now he returns to his beloved Earth, to catch up on stuff he's been missing. He brings the rarest fruit in the universe to a convicted man's last meal. He brings fantastic food to abandoned children in Rio. He brings extinct seeds from the Halls of All-Life to a Catholic convent. He brings tales of his travels to a Tibetan monk. He brings a feast to wounded veterans. He brings rain to a desert.

And then he brings pain
