In 2018, Marvel Comics published “Death of the Mighty Thor,” a seven-issue arc that brought an end to Jane Foster’s tenure as the Goddess of Thunder — though not, happily, to her life. No, Jane stuck around, and that was a good thing because Thor needed all the allies he could get for what happened next: a cosmos-spanning conflict known as the War of the Realms, during which Jane was one of four Thors it took to put down Malekith the Accursed and his troll, elf, angel, and fire elemental armies.

During a financial results briefing, Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda shared that the money raised by selling many of its western properties last year will be used to “foster solid IP” rather than invest in NFTs and blockchain technology. Back in May, Square Enix announced a deal with Embracer Group to sell some of the company’s biggest western titles, including Tomb Raider, Deux Ex, and Thief.

And that nostalgia loop is ever-closing, making more and more recent storylines worthy of its power as we approach the nostalgia singularity, when comic book readers will become nostalgic for stories they are reading for the first time *right now*! We can't wait for that day to finally come, but in…

The white supremacist who drove 200 miles to a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket and opened fire, killing 10 people, had posted a screed. Most of the people he killed were Black. The document’s 180 pages cited not only racist conspiracy theories, but also scientific research on behavioral genetics. The research focused on finding heritable differences in IQ and propensity to violence between racial groups. There’s no reason to believe, on the basis of his screed, that the Buffalo shooter understood, or even read, the scientific…

Taika Waititi spoke with Looper about the perception that scientist Jane Foster (Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman) will take over now that she owns Thor’s hammer.
