Ready For This "Upcoming" Film? " Thor " If Not... Then Check Out The 'Essential Thor' Book!
As we blogged about earlier this week... Marvel Entertainment has updated its feature film slate strategy and plans for the next three years, locking in key release windows for its character franchises! However, the launch of the 'Thor' Film won't be until in the summer of 2010 because Marvel believes that the summer is the optimal time to launch a new property! So Marvel Entertainment plans to launch its 2010 film slate with the release of the sequel, 'Iron Man 2', on April 30, 2010, followed by the launch of 'Thor' on June 4, 2010. So, you have plenty of time to read about the history of the Mighty Thor! The comic book feature Thor started as a strip in the Marvel Comic Book titled 'Journey Into Mystery' in issue #83 of that title. However as Thor became the only feature in the comic book, it soon took over the title as well! Today, you as a reader, not collector, have the opportunity to read the early stories in a black and white format. This inexpensive format is printed in what is called 'The Essential Thor' book, as shown at the top right. If you don't want to buy collector copies or 'reader copies' of the actual comics, then the 'Essential' format could be the way to inexpensively read these early stories and get a 'feel' as to how Thor was a founding member of the 'Marvel Universe'! We don't have copies of that book for sale here at Make It So Marketing, as well sell the actual comic books, but here is the link to find copies of the 'Essential Thor' for you to buy: Thor Essential Book!
