The Thunder Rolls

Being a non-practicing comic book geek (yeah I plan on seeing the newest Fantastic Four movie again and I'm working on designing my own FF boardgame but I haven't bought a comic book in years... honest!) the latest from the Marvel Bullpen really got me excited! Not because they're relaunching an old Marvel standby, Thor the god of thunder or that Dr. Donald Blake will be returning as the thunder god's alter-ego but because they're setting it all in Oklahoma! That's right, Thor is now an Okie! Here's a quote straight from the Marvel press release:

"Normally, we'd think that a god would have a grand return. Perhaps descending from the heavens into the middle of Times Square or onto the White House lawn. In this case, the God of Thunder lands in a fairly unexpected place--Oklahoma. It seems odd that Thor would choose this destination for his springboard back into action, but JMS says that it's only natural. "In classical mythology, you could be crossing an open field and come across a god...Diana, Hercules, Thor, they weren't removed from the human world, they were right there amongst us," he professes. "I wanted to go back to that model, for both the contrast it gives us and a sense of how the gods fit in to our own lives. And there's a specific reason for Oklahoma that can be found by anyone looking to do a little historical legwork...." The clues are out there, so stopping by the library on your way to pick THOR #1 is highly recommended."

So go out and pick up the latest Thor comic book and see how they portray our home state (I imagine pens are at the ready for the letters page already) and see what adventures may be occuring in our own backyard!
