Don't know if this is common news and I missed it or if the announcement made recently (12/6) was missed by everyone. Along with writer J. Michael Straczynski, Olivier Coipel will be relaunching Thor late this year (2007). Wizard has a couple of sketches by Olivier. I'd like to see more but his designs look good. edit- corrected Olivier's last name in the title... been driving me crazy! ...er.

Copiel's work is awesome, but I've got no interest in Thor and none in JMS either.
Just spouting off.

Thor is one of my faves, and Copiel on it is going to RAWK!
I hate JMS's writing of course and think his Marvel work in the last five years is the single biggest piece of cumulative crap that I've ever read which basically pees on FF and Spidey history, but hey, if Thor under Copiel can get popular, that will be great for Thor fans.
Despite JMS, I'll be looking forward to this!

It's not by Coipel (it's by someone called Wes Craig), but here's another, slightly clearer, pic of the new costume: ![[Linked Image]](http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/4082/03blend3rh4.jpg)

Hm...not Copiel, but I kinda like the pin-up of Thor here. Not sure if I'm familiar with Wes Craig, but that's certainly a majestic and powerful looking Thor.

Wouldn't this be better getting moved to Gym'll's? New stuff from NYCC: http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=9780 Asked to comment on upcoming projects, Straczynski talked about the upcoming “Thor” series from Marvel. “It’s going to be Asgard in Oklahoma.” The series will see the fabled land of the gods plunked into the flat, tranquil planes of the southern state, and the comedy of manners that ensues once the local people adopt the Asgardians and try to interact with them on a day-to-day basis, navigating the clash of cultures when gods and hapless Southern mortals come together. “Imagine Oklahoma: flat-flat-flat-flat-flat-ASGARD!-flat.” Straczynski described the city’s arrival with a farmer walking up and knocking on the gates of Asgard. An irate Thor opens peers his head out to see what he wants. The farmer tells him that they’ve landed on his land, and they can’t have a whole city dropped in the middle of his property. Thor grunts, summons thunder and lightning, and proceeds to lift Asgard off the farmer’s land – by ten feet, hovering just high enough for people to walk and drive under. Straczynski also added that Thor would not be speaking in “thees” and “thous”, since he never understood why a Norse god would speak in Middle English. In this series, Thor would speak in a kind of formal English of antiquity, not unlike Aragorn from “Lord Of The Rings”. And two new Coipel images: ![[Linked Image]](http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/3954/thor1hm0.th.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/1987/thorintck9.th.jpg)

"Asgard in Oklahoma?" "Comedy of manners??"   AAAAAAAAUGH!!!! Bastard, bastard, bastard! Verily, JMS is a disgrace to the profession of comic book writer. My mortal friend Stealth shall see this as yet another reason to wonder if perhaps JMS the comic book writer and JMS her favorite animated cartoon writer of the 1980s are secretly two different people. And let it be perfectly clear that the Amora which shall be appearing in this abomination is NOT ME!  I doth truly necessitate to imbibe.

The series will see the fabled land of the gods plunked into the flat, tranquil planes of the southern state, Having grown up in said state, I'm pretty sure everyone I ever knew would scoff at the idea of being called a 'southern' state. I mean, yeah, sure, it's 'south' compared to say, North Dakota, but the only Southerner I knew in Oklahoma was a girl from West Virginia... Luv ya, JMS, but you might want to write about what you know (or can make up). At least he got the flat part right. Gotta go to Missouri to find hills.

If Asgard has to be in the US shouldn't it be in Minnesota? You know cold... Scandanavian settlers.

I agree with Tamper Lad. Minnesota all the way. Anyways, I am excited about OC on the title but not JMS. I just didn't care for some of things JMS thinks about Thor. One being the return of donald blake. let it go man! let it go!

I visit Oklahoma about eight times a year and I don't like the idea of it being played for laughs, if that's JMS's intentions. I generally think the worst of said writer, so we'll see what crap he puts forth, unless I luck out and he proves me wrong.
Despite his involvement, I am looking forward to a Thor comic. This could end up being great if we get the majesty of Asgard back with actual good Thor stories for the first time in ages. A Thor comic can remain based on Earth for a time with Thor in the real world and still be excellent, which has been proven tons of times before.

Heh, in FL we don't consider ourselves part of the south...we consider ourselves part of the Carribean. JK, when you leave the big cities you see big trucks and dixie flags. I guess it's all relative. Back in the day it was the Northeast, the South, and the West. Now the south is the southeast. I consider OK part of the West personally.

Actually, there's big trucks and dixie flags in rural Minnesota, as well, so I'm not sure that means anything.

Here in Connecticut, we don't see many dixie flags. Until the Patriots moved there and changed their name, I hadn't even realized that Connecticut was considered part of 'New England.' And hey, topic, why in Hel isn't Thor hovering over Scandinavia? How many Asatru are there in Oklahoma anyway?

You know... considering this is Marvel I'm shocked that they aren't having Asgard show up in the middle of Central Park.
