Thor: Love and Thunder, surprise the action figures of Bandai
Thor
Not even the time to digest the new trailers of the upcoming Marvel Studios projects (we are talking about Moon Knight and Doctor Strange) that Bandai, in the total absence of other information on the Thor: Love and Thunder project, releases the very first images of what will be the protagonists of the film: Thor and Jane Foster as the new Lady Thor. We are as surprised as you are to see these images for the first time since in part they could (for some) represent a spoiler while for others they would do nothing but confirm what we have read in the rumors during these months, in the total absence of any trailer.if (jQuery ("# crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh2_1"). is (": visible")) {console.log ("Edinet ADV adding zone: tag crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh2_1 slot id: th_culturapop_d_mh2 "); } Thor: Love and Thunder, set for release in early July 2022, is the official sequel to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Asgardian adventures. In this film we will find him in great shape with his trusty Stormbreaker and we will also see the return of the character he falls in love with in the first two chapters, the scientist Jane Foster who, as far as we have got to know, will inherit Mjolnir after this last was destroyed by Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. You read that right, it's not a typo, although we don't quite know how and why, the first hammer and trusted tool of the Thunder God power will choose Jane Foster as the new herald of the Thunder powers. From what we can see from the action figures of Bandai / Tamashii Nations, the hammer will return in an unusual form, as if it had the ability to self-regenerate in the hands of the new Lady Thor (or Mighty Thor), thus giving her the powers of her.
The release of Thor and Mighty Thor taken from Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled at the same time for the month of June 2022 (in Japan) at a suggested price of about 7000 Yen (about 70 euros each). having news on their official distribution (distribution rights, etc.) we reserve the right to update the news in the future with further and more precise information. In the meantime, if you want to recover some Thor action figures produced by Tamashii Nations, throw the hammer at this link.
Marvel's Thor celebrates the big 25 with another fight with Hulk and a look ahead at his future
Even for an immortal god who has lived eons, reaching a big round number in age means something to Marvel's Thor. This May, he's celebrating 25 issues of the current Donny Cates/Nic Klein volume with an oversized anthology issue.
If you're thinking to yourself, 'Hey, didn't Marvel already announce another Thor issue would be one of these big anthology-size issues celebrating a big number?' Yes, you are right. April's Thor #24 will also be a big anthology celebrating a numeral achievement for the Thor series; using Marvel math, and counting up the number of Thor issues between all its nine volumes, Thor #24 will be the 750th issue of Thor.
But whereas Thor #24's credits listing is series writer Donny Cates and series artist Nic Klein with some creators from Thor's past such as J. Michael Straczynski, Walter Simonson, and Dan Jurgens, Thor #25 will be Cates and Klein with new creators to the Thor-fold - namely, writer Nadia Shammas and artist Martin Coccolo. 'And more' Marvel promises.
While the main story will continue the 'Banner of War' event pitting Thor vs. the Hulk, the additional stories will be looking ahead to 'possible futures of Thor and his friends' according to Marvel.
Thor #25 will come with a main cover by Gary Frank, and variants from a host of talent including John Romita Jr., Sanford Greene, J. Scott Campbell (three versions), Ron Lim, Geoff Shaw, Chrissie Zullo, and more. Check out those released so far here:
