This year at the New York Comic Con the Marvel “Civil War Fallout” there was a lot of announcements made including the return of Thor.
Jim McCann of Marvel’s marketing department stated that Thor will be launching in July of 2007.

By the second round of audience questions{At the NYCC ], Thor was on the tongues of many hopeful crowd members. Straczynski spilled some opening scenes to attendees, explaining why he latched onto the series’ launch.

“Imagine, if you will, Thor in the middle of the Oklahoma nothingness,” he said, setting the scene, punctuating the images with some fog and wind for effect. “It clears, and there’s Asgard.”

Straczynski said the humor and grandeur of placing Asgard against a rural Southwestern backdrop was the perfect image to build a story on. He asked the audience to picture an angry farmer, whose land the Norse kingdom happened to land on. “I own this property, you can’t put Asgard here,” he growled, imitating the farmer. He said Asgard would rise ten feet in the air to, quite literally, get off of his property.

JMS also said for the record that he never quite accepted Thor’s language, which he plans to alter for his series. “I’ve never understood why a Norse God would speak in Medieval English,” Straczynski said. “The closest comparison would be Aragorn in Lord of the Rings,” he asserted, describing the voice he wants Thor to have.
