Note - this is a spoiler-free advance review of Thor #1, which will go on sale on Wednesday.
In a year where Marvel has announced big changes like the death of Wolverine and the passing of the Captain America mantle to Sam Wilson, it's telling that their most controversial announcement has been the relaunch of Jason Aaron's Thor series with a new, female protagonist wielding Mjolnir. A lot of people don't approve of the idea of a woman replacing the god of thunder, and they haven't been shy about voicing their outrage months before the new series actually started. However, it's enough to wonder how many of the more vocal complainers have actually been reading Aaron's Thor work. Thor: God of Thunder has consistently ranked among Marvel's best and most exciting series since it launched two years ago. Is there any reason to assume that the magic is going to wear off because Thor suddenly has two X chromosomes?
