The God of Thunder is headed west! Marvel is proud to announce the Thor Goes Hollywood series of variant covers in honor of the Odinson’s upcoming feature film debut. Hitting comics shop just before the release of Marvel Studios’ Thor this May, the covers will see the Mighty Avenger recast in some of cinema’s most iconic roles.

“Fans couldn’t be more excited to finally see Thor hit the big screen and we feel the exact same way,” said Senior Vice President of Sales David Gabriel. “Having Thor pay homage to some of film’s most memorable onscreen moments is just one of the ways that Marvel hopes to broaden Thor’s appeal across all areas of popular culture.”

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on these hotly anticipated variant covers as Thor continues to generate major mainstream interest in the months to come. No Marvel fan will want to miss the striking results when Thor Goes Hollywood this May!

While your intrepid host is off holding back the horde armada or the armada horde from overrunning a village of innocents, he leaves the show in the semi-capable hands of Derek Coward, host of Comic Book Noise. Luckily, Pat is back with new release spotlights and Steve Raker talks about Marvel’s parody comic books so the show is not a completely overwhelmed by unprepared talk about Thor, Malibu and graphic novels from Marvel and Epic.

The song featured on this show is ‘Which Side Are You On?’ by Rebel Diaz.

This September, superstars Matt Fraction, Pasqual Ferry and Matt Hollingsworth take the reins of Thor and begin a thunderous new direction! In Thor #615, following the stunning events of Kieron Gillen’s acclaimed Thor epic, the ruins of Asgard are now a target and a dark, destructive force from another dimension is on its way to ravage all nine realms—including Earth. Only the mighty Thor can stand in their way, but, when the dust clears, nothing will ever be the same for the Marvel Universe!

“I can’t WAIT to unleash our Thor on you unsuspecting humans,” said Fraction. “Things were intimidating enough when Pasqual, Matt, and I had to follow up JMS and Olivier– that we’ve got to take up arms after Kieron and company’s stellar stand makes it all the moreso. All we can promise you is that Thor will overflow with colossal and cosmic action, giant space gods smashing each other in the faces with hammers, and all of the earth trembling in the balance. In short: everything that has made Thor great.”

The perfect jumping-on point for new readers, a bold new era for Thor begins under Fraction, Ferry and Hollingsworth in Thor #615!
