According to the publisher, the change was done in hopes that the
recasting Thor would attract more women and girls to superhero comic
books, the BBC reported.
The first adventures for the new female
Thor are due to begin in October and the new artwork, by Russell
Dauterman, reveals the once strapping and bearded Thunder God as a buxom
blonde, clad in a caped costume.
Marvel has described the move
as "one of the most shocking and exciting changes ever to shake one of
the 'big three' of Captain America, Iron Man and Thor, while the writer
of the new Thor series, Jason Aaron, has said that it wouldn't be
"She-Thor" or "Lady Thor", or even "Thorita", its "Thor".
