The Roxxon Age of Marvel Comics begins, spinning out of Al Ewing’s acclaimed run of IMMORTAL THOR, as Roxxon presents their own Thor adventures this April with ROXXON PRESENTS: THOR #1.
What’s Happening:
- Yesterday, the industry was shook when they learned that Roxxon Energy Corporation had bought out Marvel Comics! Their first order of business will be releasing an all-new Thor one-shot this April titled ROXXON PRESENTS: THOR #1, and they even got current IMMORTAL THOR scribe Al Ewing and superstar Marvel artist Greg Land to create it! The one-shot will introduce the all-new ROXXIN’ THOR! Whenever saving the Earth is taken too far, the Roxxin’ Thor will be there to defend big business and the sanctity of shareholder value!
- This strange turn of events should come as no surprise to those who have been reading Ewing’s IMMORTAL THOR run. Recent issues have shown Roxxon CEO Dario Agger, a.k.a. the Minotaur, orchestrate a bold plan to bring Thor down by warping the public’s perception of him. And how better to do that than by owning the rights to his hit 616 comic book series and showing the world what a buffoon he is! It’s the Thor fans truly know and love—no thoughts, just muscles, a hammer, and zero hesitation to bring them both down on the most one-dimensional villains ever seen in a comic book—along with anyone that gets in Roxxon’s way!
- Over in IMMORTAL THOR #9, Ewing will continue his work with artist Ibraim Roberson as they bring in THE ENCHANTRESS! The Son of Odin goes to the corporate headquarters of Roxxon – to make war for the sake of the Earth herself. But his enemies are waiting to steal from him the one thing that was Thor's alone…and they have crafted the foulest of weapons to do it. This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR…and of the trap he cannot escape.
- Meanwhile in the OFFICIAL Thor title presented by Roxxon, meet the Roxxin’ Thor! In his secret identity as A.I. spokesguru Chad Hammer, the son of Odin knows Mama Gaea is a TOP PRIORITY for heroes AND for business! But when a group of insane environmental activists take "saving the Earth" TOO FAR, it's time to show them the wisdom on both sides – as Thor! But which God of Evil is prompting the kids to rebel? Could it be…LOKI, GOD OF EVIL??? Featuring an all-star cast of heroes! MINOTAUR! EXECUTIONER! ENCHANTRESS! And the THOR-TRUCK! This is the story of THE ROXXIN' THOR… and it's a VITAL part of the ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTION MEGA-EVENT!
- Check out the covers for May’s installments of both IMMORTAL THOR and the earth-shattering, monumental book you’ve really been waiting for—ROXXON PRESENTS: THOR #1!
What They’re Saying:
- Al Ewing (By Force): “Roxxon's hostile takeover of Marvel Comics is
the worst thing to happen to the industry in decadesjust what comic books needed! I washorrifiedjazzed beyond words when I saw how the so-called Roxxon Entertainment Standards Committee hadguttedimproved my work, methodically stripping away every iota ofpoetry, symbolism and metaphorjunk no one cares about. The result is a comic that can best be describedas an act of unforgivable violence against the medium I lovea rollicking good time for the whole family!May God forgive Roxxon, for I never shall!Make Mine Roxxon!”
