Thor is back! And in a story only J. Michael Straczynski could tell! Returned to the pantheon of great Marvel heroes, the Asgardian God of Thunder is reunited with the mortal form of Dr. Don Blake. Together, they must reckon with the legacy of the mythic Norse kingdom and the awakening of its immortal heroes - but in a world that may not want them back!

Haven't seen this yet but JMS's Thor is my Thor. It's the first run of the character that I read when I got into comics. Keiron Gillen did a bang up job after him and kept his tone mostly through his run but I couldn't get into other runs till except Aaron's current run. With Jason on here I know this will be a good episode.

From what I heard, Idris Elba hated being in Thor 2. I believe that he didn't know he was contractually obligated to be in it. So he moved onto some other, bigger and more serious roles, and was then notified he had to come back, get into the makeup and costume, and film his parts. Which he wasn't happy about.

It's funny, the version of the story of JMS's beef with Marvel editorial that I heard (and I stress that I don't know how true this is) was that JMS was fully briefed and aware that Marvel wanted Thor and the new Asgard status quo to be central to Siege from the start. Like, those were the editorial terms that he agreed to. But when it came time to actually participate in writing Siege, JMS didn't want to (maybe he just wanted to keep writing Thor stories uninterrupted?). And so he took his proverbial ball (writing/story plans) and went home.
