Guys. I just woke up. What a storm of posts. Lol!
At first I didn't know what to make of this news. Another re release? Bah!
But I think it is great actually. This Thor re release has a different artwork. This probably means that the original Thor's artwork will never be reprinted. How awesome is that? It makes the original Thor a true collectible - finally safe from future reprints. That rocks!
Sure the Thor re release will suck away some demand for the original Thor but you have to remember that overall, Thor n Marvel steel collectors are increasing all the time. So
....I do expect demand for the original Thor to keep growing over time and on the flip side, new collectors will get a cost effective Thor re release in their collections. It is the best of both worlds and should satisfy most people.
I look forward to this Thor re release and have no doubt that its print run will be huge - 50,000 to 100,000. Everyone who wants one will be able to get a copy.
