Thor #4 - Sold-Out!

I told you I was going to buy Thor, no matter what. Walt Simonson cemented that for me when I was a child and I wouldn't go back on it if I could. I've always loved Norse mythology and while I didn't care much for Thor's alter-ego bit, it hasn't been much discussed in the series so far (at least not in the issues I've received and read, so far) - and I'm actually wondering how that's going to be handled. That's the mark of a great story: when you're interested even in the parts you don't think you're going to like!

I'm really glad to see how well the old God o' Thunder has taken-hold because it assures a good run, which is great for me since I am a subscriber and I don't want to get that little form that tells me switch titles...

This is an official Marvel press release:

Marvel is proud to announce that Thor #4 has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). This is the Odinson's fourth consecutive sell-out since JMS and Oliver Coipel re-launched the series in July. Due to the overwhelming demand for the issue, Marvel is going back to press with Thor #4 Second Printing Variant, featuring Oliver Coipel's interior page of Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun -- The Warrior's Three -- as the cover!

"Thor #4 uses Thor's human half to tackle a real world crisis as only comic books are capable… it succeeds quite well in blending fictional gods with very real conflicts," says Jesse Schedeen of IGN.com

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Thor #4 Second Printing Variant and all future issues of the series, as the first four issues have sold-out.

Also, be sure not to miss Thor #5! With Heimdall's help, Thor quickens his pace, and continues to search far and wide for his Asgardian brethren. But will he be prepared for who he finds next! Where there is Thor, there must also be… Sif!?
