San Diego Comic Con: Jon Hickman Gives The Rundown On Ultimate Thor

News

As reported yesterday as well as a week or two ago, Jon Hickman and Carlos Pacheco will be the creative team on Ultimate Thor, and at an interview today after the Marvel Panel, Hickman had this to say about the title.

“This is the formative story of a formidable character. So yeah, there’s an arc there. He grows and changes and as the world changes around him he responds accordingly. One of the things that I think was apparent and needed to be done in the series was to align mythological Thor, hippie Thor, and Jeph’s Thor into one seamless kind of character and I’m pretty happy with that. I think we pulled that off. I actually just finished writing the last issue of it this week. So I’m already moving on!”

Ultimate Origins of Ultimate Thor? Hickman writing mythology? Sounds kinda awesome to me.
