>Marvel is billing March's Mighty Thor #705 as the issue which Thor (a.k.a. Jane Foster) will die, as previously teased in various ways - including an on-the-nose title to the current arc.
>“The Death of the Mighty Thor” kicked off in October’s Mighty Thor #700, but now it appears that March’s Mighty Thor #705 is the actual issue in which Jane Foster will, in Marvel’s words, “make the ultimate heroic sacrifice” in the fight against the monstrous Mangog.
>“This is it, folks! The big showdown between Thor and Mangog. The penultimate chapter of ‘The Death of the Mighty Thor,’” said series editor Wil Moss in a statment. “Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman have been building to this issue for over three years, and you absolutely do not want to miss this. You may think you know where things are going, but I promise you do not.”
>Jane Foster has been Thor since Odinson, the original hero to bear the name, became unworthy of his hammer Mjolnir in 2014’s Original Sin. In her time as Thor, Foster has battled cancer, with every moment she spends as a hero taking time off her life. A variant cover for Mighty Thor #700 featured Foster in a pose similar to the cover of the Marvel graphic novel The Death of Captain Marvel in which the Kree warrior Mar-Vell died of cancer.
>The Mighty Thor #705, which Marvel promises is “the beginning of a mind-shattering conclusion that will change the Thor story in explosive ways,” is due out on shelves March 21, 2018.
Well we'll see if it happens
Evan Morales
Hopefully Dauterman can be put on a good book over at DC

Robert Cook
can someone who isnt sexist tell me how this run has been?
Isaiah Price
The beginning and the WHO IS THOR stuff was awful. After that it got better. Not as good as the previous Aaron run, but it's OK.
William Jenkins
Supporting cast has been more interesting than Jane and Aaron has a bad habit of repeating his older storylines + drawing out his mysteries for too long, making almost any reveal disappointing and unsatisfactory.
Anthony Scott
The 2014 book was terrible but it was okay after they relaunched it
Jeremiah Cook
It's pretty good when it's not focused on Jane. She's just a bland protagonist overall, but all the War of the Ten Realms stuff is interesting enough (if a bit dragged out) and Dautermann has been killing on art.
Christopher Jenkins
This pretty much, the non-Jane parts are good.
Leo Flores
In b4 ultimate sacrifice is having to never stop being Thor or she will die.
Thomas Powell
is spoiling upcoming comics now a thing? what the fuck, why is nobody mentioning this?
Dylan Powell
Marvel is in the shit so badly that they need any kind of spin. Even spoiling the grand finale of a 3 year long comic book arc is okay if it at least gets SOME attention.
Marvel Comics is in the same boat as DC movies.... and they are up shit creek without a paddle.
Cameron Russell
For a long time. Usually not 3 months in advance, though.
Noah Long
BORING.
The writing has been just so dull. Art is okay.
Austin White
>Usually not 3 months in advance, though. What? It's almost always 3 months in advance. Solicits for comics get released 3 months in advance.
Also, this is hardly a spoiler. They've been saying for months that Jane would die at the end of this arc.
Kevin Adams
It is genuinely good aside from the Titana scene & the fact that Asgard suddenly inexplicably turns against Odin for no other reason then after Millions of years they all seem to come to the collective epiphany that patriarchal kingdoms are bad.
Jose Thomas
Hey why is a vet checking on this cancer patient
Caleb Wright
Art is Decent
The Main Character is boring, and sometimes gets very shilled. Marvel is wants her to catch on so hard that they fail at making a great story.
I heard Mark Waid wrote her better in his Avengers title.
Joseph Long
Funny how when Bendis leaves and there is slumping sales they finally get rid of FemThor.
Ethan Garcia
Fake-out
Wyatt Long
Marvel is going to make her the new Valkyrie, just letting you all know this ahead of time.
Daniel Morgan
pretty shitty characters if they cant even cure cancer
Thomas Rodriguez
Is that nigga doing magic? What the fuck.
Juan Cox
>Everyone faces when Odinson is actually the one that dies while Jane takes over permanently >The pic from a month ago with a gold hammer is actually a statue made to remember Odinson
Nathan Young
Why are they killing Jane ?she's the only SJ character with decent sales
William Gomez
Press S to spit on her face
Gavin Moore
Even that tertiary Bill from Oklahoma character that died became an einherjar after death. Jane was the Norse God of Thunder for a while, she's sticking around as a Valkyrie supporting character, you can bet on it.
Jack Cook
It's so fucking bizarre how the big two post spoilers of their own comics months in advance. Where did that system even start?
Angel Ross
It's mostly Marvel that posts their own. DC's get leaked when review copies go out.
Anyway it's obviously a ploy to try and goad retailers into ordering more copies of a book because of the way Diamond makes you order in advance or whatever.
Samuel Watson
I will press G to give flowers to her grave.
Ian Rogers
The point of all these SJ characters is that Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans are going to get old eventually, and they want to start workshopping new characters now so that they're ready in five years or so without having to reboot the MCU.
Even if Jane-as-Thor is selling (is it?), it hasn't made a Jane-Foster-As-Thor that can be a movie in 2025. Ms. Marvel and Miles Morales can be movies, maybe even America Chavez and Riri Williams. Fem!Thor? No, ship's sailed.
Andrew Taylor
Once Jane Foster was written out of the Thor movies, Fem!Thor was doomed in the comics. The actual sales of the comic are almost completely irrelevant, here. The comics are research and development for the movies now, because if they get twenty Hellcats and America Chavezes for every Ms Marvel, it's more than worth it to them.
Samuel Ward
how the fuck the cure for cancer doesn't exists in the 616 universe
Adrian Roberts
Wakanda didn't want to share
Justin Fisher
Didn't Osborn create a cure for cancer to try and kill Deadpool?
Jaxson Reyes
>Want to continue the franchise >Want to keep earning the big bucks from international releases >Keep pushing niggers even though nobody except Americans and Western Europeans (who are basically just liberal Americans at this point) gives a shit
Hmmm
Isaac Jenkins
What skin color do you think Jane Foster is?
Jackson Baker
The beginning was terrible but it got better. It hovers between mediocre and good but jane foster is by far the least interesting character. All the villains have been bretty gud though. So it's worth pirating it for the antagonist porn.
David Clark
It's Strange
Jayden Evans
But who are we to judge?
Bentley Allen
Where is that ashole Frigga? The self-appointed ruler of Asgard? The asshole that renamed Asgard to Asgardia?
Anthony Hill
She is just a token Asgardian musclehead in that. Talks like an Asgardian with manners of an Asgardian. Claims to have fought beings that she never fought before. Claimed some of Thor's feats as her own. Basically a femThor but without any of the charm.
Eli Thompson
Osborn have the cure for cancer but used it as a weapon against Deadpool. Wakanda have the cure for cancer but won't share it because they are massive cunts. Asgardians have the cure for cancer and actually offered it to Jane. But Jane being a massive anti-magic cunt, refused. Doctor Strange found an elixir for all diseases and illnesses but used it on a critically injured Wong before he had the chances to mass produce it. The Kree have the cure for cancer but doesn't care about the traitor Mar-Vel and thus refused to share it.
Lucas Hall
Let me guess, instead of trusting others to handle their shit she once again runs away from her cancer treatment to at least die feeling an adrenaline rush. How selfless.
Jose Howard
Jane "dont use no magic for my cancer" Foster is using magic to cure her cancer is my point.
Julian Young
what a bunch of a-holes
Oliver Moore
the entire time she's been Thor has been building to a heroic sacrifice
that said i think Aaron will find a workaround bc she's been so popular
Gavin Carter
>bc she's been so popular >killed off in the movies >was never even mentioned >comics are a niche market
Aiden Long
Jane died in the movies?
Austin Ortiz
She was dropped in the movies after two of them, and it was mentioned in the third. She was never "killed off". Disney realized that women were interested in heroic female characters like Harley and Diana, not hapless girlfriends like Lois.
William Long
You're retarded. Sure the comics want that but Feige doesn't give a shit what the comics are doing right now, Marvel Studios and Comics are completely seperate entities. He's got over 50 years worth of comics to adapt, why do you think they'd want to adapt unfinished stories that only Marvel claim will be "significant". Writers are doing this stuff in the hope they'll get adapted but there's nothing to say they will. Look at how Bendis fucked that up with his GotG.
Also it's pretty obvious Thor won't die but Jane will give up her human life to live as an Asgardian
Luis Lopez
The MCU isn't adapting anything, they are telling their own stories that use broad strokes from the old comics. No one wants to sit through a verbatim retelling of Secret Wars.
Christopher Collins
>Death of Whor becomes her most popular appearance >marvel takes this as a sign that she's finally caught on >immediately resurrected >another 300 issues of Whor that nobody wants
Tyler Murphy
>nobody wants She sells better than regular Thor
Camden Phillips
GOODBYE
JOJO0
Thomas Perez
Thor/Odinson offered her the cure for cancer before she was even revealed to be the one with the hammer. Because using magic to cure cancer is bad, so she's using other magic to not-cure her cancer and die from it.
Gabriel Evans
She did but I don’t think she does anymore.
Josiah Gutierrez
Jane isn't dying, she's just going to stop being Thor.
They don't have the balls to kill Foster off.
David Hall
Doctor Strange is currently a Vet. Lost to some sort of magic tournament to Loki “off screen”. Loki won and took the Sorcerer Supreme title, Sanctum, and turned Stranges apprentice into his girlfriend
Jace Anderson
Hasn't she already done the "Ultimate Heroic Sacrifice" years ago? im getting major deja-vu from this topic title.
Christian White
That is such a missleading fact. Her first few issues sold better then she tanked
Daniel Anderson
From a non-biased perspective, you have to accept a few things to look at Jane's Mighty Thor.
-You have to disregard old canon. If you're a Thor fan, you know the hammer was recently broken, and was rebuilt using a portion of the Odinforce and his- Thor's soul locked inside to reforge it.It was a part of him.You also had to forget all previous established lore and canon on Mjolnir itself, whose enchantment had been made by Odin himself. He's wielded it many times himself, prominently on Fear Itself recently.
If you could get over this, there's also the annoying fact there was a satisfying resolution as to why Thor's magically not worthy. Anyone who's long running into Thor canon, Thor's done TONS of horrible shit, including killing his friends and allowing Tony to be subjected to torture in one in canon timeline- and he still was eventually worthy of wielding it.
I would have preffered Sif to carry it. At least it would make sense- she was a warrior.
Finally- Jane wasnt a warrior. Why was she able to fucking be amazing with the Hammer? Having the power of Thor doesnt mean you know how to fight.
If you can get over these and a few more niggling bits?
It's just decent. Jane's boring. I'm sorry, she's just boring.It isnt the cancer- We've all seen Breaking Bad and didnt mind a cancer patient lead. She's just...I dont know. Bland.
Austin Scott
Yeah I know it's strange my main gripe is why is he using Magic on Jane who has been opposed to magic from the start.
Jose Russell
This. Also why I hate Medusa and BB when Medusa took the throne. Black Bolt acted like the fucking attack dog on the kingdom that shunned him.
Blake Myers
Bill, Son of Bills, was awesome and should become the new Thor
Xavier Robinson
>She's just...I dont know. Bland. Because they refuse to give her any personality or traits besides "has cancer" and "She's so brave!" because giving her a personality would mean exposing her to the potential of being wrong or disliked.
Camden Ward
I need a loss edit
Colton Bell
Also, giving her a personality would probably bring up the issue of her dead/abandoned family from back when she was written out of Thor in the 70s.
Brody Howard
Dude, NOBODY remembers she had a SON named Jimmy, and a fucking husband
She's a horrible mother. We've never ONCE heard her, talk about her fucking son. Mighty Thor is such a shitty, continuity fest, that i'm often tempted to remove the 'Decent, IF' tag, I give it, but I remind myself you cant endlessly dock points for one problem.
Nathaniel Harris
Are deadbeat mothers 'worthy' of the power of Thor?
I mean, are they?
Luis Adams
It's about damn time.
>using magic >when the entire point of the run was that she didn't want to cure it through magic
Good to know that they're not even going to pretend to let her die with any sort of dignity. She deserves nothing less.
John Clark
Feige would rather CGI Beta Ray Bill than cast JaneTHor
Oliver Edwards
I thought back near the start of Aaron's run Thor actually visited Jane and she had her family? Or was there a whole OTHER family?
Aaron Martin
There are no deadbeat mothers user, only victims of the patriarchy11!1
Connor Reed
She's still doing above 30k, which is way better than most of the legacy characters, but that's not saying much.
Hunter Morgan
Did the series ever explain what Jane was doing on the moon to have picked up the hammer in the first place?
Isaiah Diaz
Someone please tell me Darcy is all right at least. :(
Adam Rivera
He should have a teamup with Beta Ray Bill.
Evan Morgan
The beginning is flat out terrible. It gets better after the relaunch, but ironically, Thor is by far the least interesting part of the comic.
Xavier Morris
>Ultimate Heroic Sacrifice Nothings going to happen in the long run. People don't stay dead. I fucking hate comics now.
Julian Phillips
Based Mangog
Landon Hernandez
Good fucking riddance Now bring back Cyclops and real Captian Marvel
Nicholas Ward
Fuck off Bendis, no one wants movies with your pet characters.
Grayson Flores
Someone do a finger edit.
Nicholas Clark
They are going to reboot the entire MCU after phase 6 anyway and restart with a new Tony Stark, new Steve Rodgers, completely recast Avengers, and if everything goes as planned completely recast FF, Spidey and X-Men. Everyone, Fresh start. They will probably do this every couple of decades from now until forever (ie until it stops making money).
What did you think, that they are going to trust the people in THIS picture to carry one of the most profitable movie franchises on earth? They are going to have fucking RIri tying to carry Iron Man movies? Or Jane making Thor movies? The most coverage alternative and diversity characters like this will get is maybe a few one shots at the tail end of phase 6 before everything is rebooted.
Mason Rogers
She was there with everyone when Thor was sobbing on the moon, apparently she didn't leave with the rest of them.
Nathaniel Phillips
It's fucking good actually, I'm not much a fan of thor and I love it. Aaron is good, but I admit that I understand a bit who hates this run because he replaced the real thor.
Josiah Walker
I press s to have sex with her and with your mother.
Nathan James
Ha! I was right, Jane will sacrifice herself to defeat Mangog... you know, not even Thor and Odin together can defeat him, but she has "girl power" and once she dies I see two possible outcomes:
a) She died in battle so she will go to Valhalla, where she will continue to be an important character in Aaron's next arcs. b) Mjolnir will be destroyed (synergy) and then the new Mjolnir will have the essence of Jane, that's why is golden... like her hair, well... her former hair.
Gabriel Reed
>'Ultimate Heroic Sacrifice' sure, aaron.
Ryder Russell
>ultimate sacrifice Let me guess, they get their shit kicked in, Whor begs mjolnir to go back to Odinson(because its fucking sentient now), and she dies of cancer after their fight
Ryder Baker
Still in a coma after the getting stabbed with a venoms dagger that Loki had, try to read the series before complaining about them guys.
Kevin Adams
Ok, what's with Capt Marvel's package? Look at it! I don't know if his balls start at his stomach or... what exactly is going on there. Do Kree have different sexual organs then humans?
Isaiah Cooper
Hey what the fuck?
Justin Wood
The muscles you'd call abs extend from up inside your tenth rib level and below into your pubic region, they're just especially hard to define.
Tyler Price
Jane not too good for magic medicine any more?
Joshua Flores
here u go
