Today Marvel put out the announcement that as of October there will be a new THOR replacing the one we've known for the past fifty two years. This included some amazing images to what this new Thor will look like. A bad ass woman in armor. Sure, she's got a little bit of chest molding going on but it's not overt and the outfit is most definitely not revealing nor is it particularly problematic. It's basically a female version of male Thor clothing.
I read this article during my lunch break. I was so happy I wanted to cry. I was inspired. I realized that this was the kind of thing that meant that if people will get excited about Thor who happens to be a woman. Then the story I've been writing really might have a place out there. I've been putting off working on revisions and instead working on a second book and other projects. Well, I'm excited.
This evening after I'd changed my wallpaper on my phone to this image I started looking at the outfit she was wearing. Out of nowhere I found myself thinking what material would work best to make a helm like that. How many months is it to Convolution? Two and a half? The new comic wont even be out yet. I wasn't planning a huge new costume this soon. I must be nuts.
Speaking of Convolution, they said I'd be there and that I'm doing something. Whatever will it be? Mysteries!

I'm withholding my comments about the 'I must be nuts' comment. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have so, so many feelings about this announcement, all of them positive.
