New Thor Ongoing Series in 2020 | Marvel Comics

Big Marvel Comics news from NYCC 2019! Writer Donny Cates (Venom, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Redneck, too many to list) and artist Nic Klein are taking over Thor. We will get a new Thor #1 in January 2020.

New York Comic Con had a ton of amazing comic book news this year, but one of our favorite stories out of this years NYCC is the news of Donny Cates and Nic Klein taking over Thor. Jason Aaron had an amazing run over the years on Thor and it seems we can expect a lot of changes from his King Thor series to this new Thor series from Cates.

Source: Marvel Comics

This definitely looks like a darker take on Thor. Looking at the cover of issue #1, we see Odinson’s eye restored along with his arm. Odin’s ravens are also seen in the cover which leads to more questions. We will have to wait until January 2020 to see what big changes Donny Cates has in store for readers.

Donny Cates at NYCC 2019

During a Marvel panel at NYCC 2019, Cates held up Mjolnir to show he is worthy to take over the new series. He also had this to say:

“In all my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined a world in which I was worthy of writing THOR. From Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, all the way to the legendary run I am so foolishly following by the great Jason Aaron, it is beyond an honor to enter the golden halls of Asgard, and to pave the path (Far beyond the fields we know…) for the Thunder God himself. Know that you will have my best, true believers. For all of you. For Asgard. Forever.”

Thor #1 Details

THOR #1

Jonathan Hickman Announces Marvel X-Men Multiyear Plan

Marvel Comics has hired Jonathan Hickman to create a multiyear plan to restore the X-Men to their rightful place as one of the top selling comic series at Marvel. As we all know, the X-Men comics have kind of been all over the place the last few years. We are very excited to see what Hickman (Fantastic Four, The Avengers, The New Avengers) can do to revamp the X-Men comics series.

New Mini Series

To start things off, we are going to get two new miniseries: House of X and Powers of X. Both of these series will be different but a great starting off point for Hickman. According to Hickman, House of X is set in the present, while Powers of X looks at mutants throughout the history of the Marvel Universe.

Big things are definitely in store and it seems that Hickman has been planning this for a long time:

“This is something I’ve been writing and rewriting in my head since I was a kid,” he says. “I’ve been in the kitchen for a long time with it. I get the ingredients, I get what makes a good meal.”

House of X will be available on July 24, 2019 and Powers of X will come out the following week on July 31, 2019.

House of X

The first five covers of House of X has been revealed, check them all out below.
