• The New 52: Futures End and Axis are taking over their respective event slots. The Original Sin Annual is extra and hopefully ties into the end of that event. I have no information about it, but it could end up just being like the Avengers AI tie-in for Age of Ultron....which would be a bummer.
• This is evidently the last issue of Captain America before we get the All-New Captain America in November.
• Iron Man is again missing, but not for long. Superior Iron Man launches next month.
• Green Lantern begins another crossover a month after I get to drop Green Lantern Corps. I hope this crossover is more interesting than the last one.
• I am not going to follow Superman: Doomed Aftermath as it appears to not be as tightly plotted as the event itself was. Supergirl reads like it has almost nothing to do with it. If it remains a numbered crossover, I will of course have to pick it up, but for now it is just Action Comics.
• This is the end of the line for Brian Azzarello on Wonder Woman. We will have a new creative team in the form of the Finch family. I am looking forward to the art.
• The new Thor as female arc begins this month.
• We are getting a crossover with Ms. Marvel in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man this month.
• Still kind of pissed that Detective Comics is a fill-in. Oh well, I hope it is good. I am probably being pessimistic for no reason.
• I wish Flash would get more interesting. I don't think the current creative team is right for the book.

Announcing a New Female Thor Relaunching a New Thor Series

On The View today Marvel revealed that Thor will no longer be worthy of Mjolnir and the title of Thor will be given to someone who is worthy.....a female.

It doesn't appear to be Angela, who was revealed to be sister to Thor and Loki in the Tenth Realm mini-series spinning out of Original Sin. Angela has red hair. Personally, I am really excited to this change and hope it remains for a long time to come.

Update: Apparently, this new Thor will relaunch the Thor: God of Thunder series into another iteration of simply Thor with a #1 issue beginning in the fall.
