Very much excited! I love the writer and artist. Plus Thor's new look ROCKS!!

What type of armour is Thor wearing on his arms and legs? It looks like padded mail, but then it wouldn't be metal or shiny. And it certainly doesn't look like chain, plate or brigadine. Sorry, I'm a bit of a stickler for armour portrayl in a visual medium. Especially for a norseman who traditionally wore hide, leather or a mixture of the two.

Ok, it's just a comic, I know. The geek will shut-up now.

Judging from other pictures of the armor it looks like it's supposed to be scale.

[DaVeO]

Hmm, scale eh? I think some homework needs to be done.

Oh, Legerd. A D&D player, are we?

[jay042]

Well, they are gods after all. So his armour might be some kind of magical cloth

[Powersurge]

In the interview that discussed the new Thor series, it was said that they were going to be moving toward a more traditional Anglo-Nordic garb, a la the Riders of Rohan in LotR.

But that said, I don't have a clue what kinda armour Thor is wearing in that picture.

[Beta Ray Daz]

i'll check with some knowledgeable sources guys..

[Corvus]

So, what did everyone else think of Thor #1? I thought it was great.

If OF becomes ongoing, I think there's great potential for a Thor/OF cross over or guest appearances with the BRB-Thor connection.

[Dfense75]

I say thee YAY!! sorry I couldnt help it Yeah i really like the first issue. The creative team was on the top of their game and Im very excited to see where this book goes. I also agree that a Omega/Thor crossover is not only inevitable...but will make for a great story.

[Beta Ray Daz]

I was very impressed with the first two issues! Anyone else's thoughts?

[Dfense75]

Yeah im really enjoying the series so far. I cant wait for issue #3 to see yet another Marvel hero whoop on Iron Man.

[Flightpath07]

I agree, the first two issues were very compelling. It's been added to my pull list.
Thor rocks!

*SPOILERS*














Twas good to see Shellhead get his arse kicked! It's what everyone's being waiting for and Thor didn't hestitate to deliver!

Thor had good right to be pissed off! "you took my genetic code, and without my permission, without my knowledge, used it to create an abomination"

I also loved- "If any mortal comes univited to Asgard on behalf of those who suppose themselves to be powers within the hour they will learn what true power is"
haha THOR is definately back.. and MIGHTIER than ever!!
