In an extensive interview with Matt Fraction over at Comic Book Resources, we were handed all sorts of new information about the new direction for our favorite Asgardian Hero. Starting with issue #611 in June, Fraction will team with artist Pasqual Ferry for what sounds like the beginning of a legendary run. Here are some of the details Fraction discussed in the lengthy article:
- The start of Fraction’s run will consist of exploring the cosmology of the nine worlds of Asgard.
- When question about Loki’s involvement Fraction stated: “That is a very good question, And that’s all I can say about Loki.”
- Tony Stark will make an appearance and Fraction will delve into the relationship between the two characters.
- Jack Kirby’s work has been a source of inspiration for Fraction and Pasqual.
- The first arc will continue into next year.
It certainly sounds like Fraction has some grandiose plans for Thor and the rest of the Asgardians. We should get a better idea of what these plans are in the Thor/Iron Man one-shot that will be released on Free Comic Book Day in May. Until then, let’s take a look at the fantastic Pasqual art shall we?
