To paraphrase the saying.
As a recovering comic book collector (I was into them as a kid in the 80s), I actually look forward to what Marvel is going to do with this.

Now.. re-imagine that fight scene between Thor and Iron Man in the Avengers, after Tony Stark has been on a bender.
Better yet: Thor fighting She-Hulk..
I think I'll stop there.

Odin's Beard! Marvel Announces A New Thor — And She's A Woman

The Mighty Thor, the Son of Odin, the God of Thunder, the comic book god with the hammer is a woman.
Not quite — but here's the tweet announcing the new Thor:
@Marvel: Meet #Marvel comics' new #Thor - she's not what you'd expect! Learn more & see exclusive art: http://bit.ly/1ymF6LN
"No longer is the classic Thunder God able to hold the mighty hammer, Mjölnir, and a brand new female hero will emerge worthy of the name THOR," Marvel said in a statement.
The new Thor will be written by Jason Aaron with art by Russell Dauterman.
"This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe," Aaron said. "But it's unlike any Thor we've ever seen before."
The inscription on Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, reads: "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor."
"It's time to update that inscription," Marvel editor Wil Moss said in the statement.
Reaction on Twitter, as you might imagine, was strong and mixed. It ranged from:
to:I am totally looking forward to checking out this new Thor!
I dont understand why Marvel have turned Thor into a female. This is stupid
The comic is out in October.
Now.. re-imagine that fight scene between Thor and Iron Man in the Avengers, after Tony Stark has been on a bender.
Better yet: Thor fighting She-Hulk..
I think I'll stop there.
