Thor vs. Iron Man - 'Nuff Said

This is an official Marvel press release:

Because you demanded it, the God of Thunder battles the Armored Avenger in Thor #3! Following the first two sold-out issues of this brand new series, acclaimed scribe JMS and red-hot penciler Olivier Coipel bring you the much demanded confrontation between Thor and Iron Man, raising the stakes for both heroes! During Civil War, Tony Stark and his allies produced a deadly clone of Thor, which not only ravaged many heroes, but killed the Avenger known as Goliath. Now that Thor has returned in earnest, it’s time for a reckoning with his former teammate and that means all out action! Featuring two covers—one by Coipel and one by superstar Ed McGuinness—and a confrontation that will move heaven, earth and Asgard, this is the issue of Thor you can’t miss!

“The landscape of the Marvel Universe has changed radically in the past few years, and Thor now returns to a post-civil War environment which has seen hero face off against hero, registration become law, and is, all in all, a remarkably different America from the one that he left,” explained series editor Warren Simons. “His first encounter with Iron Man is going to address some of these points, especially the question of what happens when you take a God’s genetic code without his permission.”

Critics and fans alike continue to praise this electrifying new series, with Brent Specher of SilverBulletComics.Com gushing, “J. Michael Straczynski is an excellent storyteller… Coipel infuses energy into every scene.”

With the first two issues selling out almost immediately, Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Thor #3. And don’t miss your second chance to pick up Thor #2, now with a new wraparound cover featuring the interior art of Olivier Coipel. Plus, get a special look at the past, present and future of Thor, with loads of exclusive content, in Marvel Spotlight: Thor!
