Yup. No hammer either. I'm not familiar with Falcon.

Regular Thor will still be around. Assuming he will do something and no longer be worthy to use Mjölnir and some girl will pick it up. He'll have his axe Jarnbjorn which has been really prominent this past year. Steve Rogers will still be around too but not as Capt. I guess he'll be in more of the old Nick Fury role. The super serum goes bad or something and he ages and loses his super strength but not his tactical knowledge. I'm not sure how that will work since I didn't think he was that bright prior to getting the serum but maybe that's not cannon or something who knows.

cap is the best pure leader in the MU. id say second would be cyclops.
they have gone without a true thor and the only reason there is such an uproar is because of social media and the internet. Thor got turned into a freaking frog for a year and people ate that shit up. as far as falcon taking over for cap, meh, im not sold. i like falcon dont get me wrong but cap is cap. im not offended its a black guy taking over so much as its an inferior person taking over. its a certain type of person to be cap and im not sure anyone is capable of it. but like any other storyline it too shall pass once the deus ex machina comes into play

Yeah I don't have any issues with gender or ethnic changes to characters. Hardly any them are really defined by that so why not switch it up for a while. I'm hoping X-23 gets more prominent when they kill Wolverine. I like her better at this point.

I haven't been reading the latest "let's kill Wolverine!" have they really done it this time? What about him running the damn school?

I just saw on IGN that they are killing him and they don't have any plans or ideas how to bring him back so it should stick for a while. I'm not currently reading anything that he's in so I'm not sure if it's a good story or not.

I love that, that tells me their either bluffing, or complete morons. They had Rogers back to life in what 6 months? which means the stories were already being written to bring him back when we were reading his great death.
Also, the killing of a character is so over done and b.s. as we all know, it would have been (now granted I havnt read the Kill Wolverine stories) BUT, it would have been far more exciting, if in a berzerker rage, Wolverine accidentally kills Storm, or one of the kids in the school, and has to deal with that (much like the Old Man Logan story) but this time its set in the present. Could have just had him say thats it, im done, peace out super heroes im going back to Canada and him and Steve could go grab a beer and retire.
and on a semi side note
Theres rumors that Marvel is killing Wolverine, and taking the FF down a notch to hurt the Fox movies? I dont buy it, but Disney is involved, and Marvel didnt do any cross promotion for the last X-men movie (infact the day it came out, Marvel put out an email for Guardians of the Galaxy) so who knows whats going on behind the scenes over there.

I would be surprised if her name is actually Thor....maybe though....there is a boy and girl Hawkeye and it's not a big deal.

Yeah I wouldn't think the sabotage was a real thing but everyday we hear about these large entities doing the dumbest things you can imagine so who knows. I think it's probably just Wolverine's turn in the rotation to disappear for a while.
