The Mighty Thor #1-6 [Cover]

Citation :

Looking for an easy to point to "jumping on point" for readers intrigued by May 6's "Thor" film, Marvel Comics announced today that it would relaunch the thundergod superhero's adventures in a new monthly title called "The Mighty Thor" this April. Current "Thor" writer Matt Fraction will continue to pen the adventures of the Odinson and will be joined by artist Olivier Coipel who helped bring the character back into sales and critical acclaim when he drew the last "Thor" relaunch in 2007.

“A wave of civilians will be moved to check the book out, so a clear, clean entry point is always welcome,” Fraction told Marvel's official website. “The first arc of 'The Mighty Thor' is [an] accessible ground floor storyline that veteran readers and neophyte movie fans alike can get into. With characters this great, there’s a reason they’ve lasted so long, why the myths still resonate, why [they] still thrill and move us. All you have to do is honor them and the rest is easy; terrifying, but easy.”

The current "Thor" series is in the midst of Fraction's first storyline, "The World Eaters" with artist Pasqual Ferry, and the writer noted that its conclusion will springboard directly into "Mighty's" first arc called "The Galactus Seed." "Galactus comes to eat Asgard because there’s something incredible that Thor has harvested out of the World Tree," he said, promsing “Asgard vs Galactus" and "Thor vs The Silver Surfer" as part of the plot.

In conjunction with this new monthly series, the numbering for the current "Thor" title will continue under the name "Journey Into Mystery" which knowledgeable comic fans will recall was the original title of Thor's comic before his name overtook the title in the '60s. That monthly will be written by frequent Fraction collaborator and former "Thor" fill-in writer Kieron Gillen as well as Gillen's "Thor" artist Doug Braithwaite. As Fraction explained, the renamed series and his "Mighty Thor" alike will connect with the incoming "Fear Itself" event with "Journey" "[putting] the focus on Loki and the Asgardians during the event.”

ça me fait penser à ce qui se passe pour Hulk.

Oui MCA a fait la remarque pour le changement de Titre de la série THOR en Journey Into Mystery à partir du 622.
Mais du coup, pourquoi avoir fait la changement de numérotation, revenir au 600 pour finalement revenir a une autre série ?

Parce qu'à la base la série s'appelait Journey Into the Mysteries! C'était une série anthologique d'histoires de SF, de monstres et d'horreur jusqu'au #83 daté de 1962 où Thor y apparait, la série prendra le nom du héros à partir du #126 (à l'image de Tales of Suspense et Tales to Astonish qui eux deviennent Captain America et Incredible Hulk). Ce genre de changement de nom étaient très fréquent dès les 40's pour des raisons éditoriales, il fallait une autorisation ou un truc du genre pour sortir de nouveau magasines donc il était plus commode de renommer des séries. Ce n'est d'ailleurs pas la première fois que Thor retrouve le titre de JIM, c'était déjà arrivé à l'époque de Heroes Reborn.
Faudrait quand même qu'ils se rendent compte que toutes ces stratégies visant à soi-disant attirer des nouveaux lecteurs ne fait que les embrouiller encore plus (ainsi que pas mal d'anciens lecteurs j'imagine).

Dans un article de Comic Box, ils expliquaient que les éditeurs bénéficiaient de réduction postale que si ils prouvaient que leurs séries possédaient une viabilité certaine, et donc souvent quand ils lançaient une série, ils réutilisaient la numérotation d'une vieille série arrêtée.

Autre détail, la série Thor a déjà été renommé Journey into the Mystery lorsque Thor a été projeté dans l'univers Heroes Reborn.

dans un premier temps sur le même principe que le dernier relaunch de thor à savoir la recherche des asgardiens après ragnarok pour en mettant des personnages d'autres séries comme shang-chi ce qui avait provoqué la fin du titre

L'image fait irrémédiablement penser aux films de la série Alien. D'autres du même genre pourraient arriver prochainement.

Donc cette série ce base sur Thor actuellement tandis que Journey Into Mystery c'est Loki et les Asgardiens ?

Oui.

Merci. On y est pas encore mais avec la multiplication des séries, ça va être le bazard pour la publication en France.
