Marvel Comics Redesigns Thor Ahead of “Ragnarok” Release

Marvel Comics announces that Thor gets a redesign ahead of the release of Thor: Ragnarok.

We see the Marvel Comics version of Thor gets a haircut and also looks a lot like Chris Hemsworth, but we also see a gold-colored hammer and arm.

“You see a lot teases for upcoming stories here,” Thor writer Jason Aaron said in a statement via THR. “Some of those stories will play out in the pages of Thor. Others will play out elsewhere, some across multiple titles. Between Thor No. 700 and [September’s] Marvel Legacy No. 1, I’m really setting the stage for the biggest stories I’ll be doing for Marvel in 2018. Probably the biggest stories I’ve ever done for Marvel, period. You see a lot of that set-up here, and I’m beyond excited for everybody to see where it’s leading and what it means for Thor, not to mention the rest of the Marvel Universe.”  

The second piece of artwork also reveals Loki with the Infinity Gauntlet!

See below.

Thor: Ragnarok has a November 3, 2017 release.
