From the Pages of 'Immortal Thor'... The Roxxon Age of Marvel Comics Begins!
Spinning out of Al Ewing's acclaimed run of 'Immortal Thor,' Roxxon presents their own Thor adventures this April in 'Roxxon Presents: Thor' #1.
Yesterday, the industry was shook when they learned that Roxxon Energy Corporation had bought out Marvel Comics!
Their first order of business will be releasing an all-new Thor one-shot this April titled ROXXON PRESENTS: THOR #1, and they even got current IMMORTAL THOR scribe Al Ewing and superstar Marvel artist Greg Land to create it! The one-shot will introduce the all-new ROXXIN’ THOR! Whenever saving the Earth is taken too far, the Roxxin' Thor will be there to defend big business and the sanctity of shareholder value!
This strange turn of events should come as no surprise to those who have been reading Ewing’s IMMORTAL THOR run. Recent issues have shown Roxxon CEO Dario Agger, a.k.a. the Minotaur, orchestrate a bold plan to bring Thor down by warping the public’s perception of him. And how better to do that than by owning the rights to his hit 616 comic book series and showing the world what a buffoon he is!
It’s the Thor fans truly know and love: no thoughts, just muscles, a hammer, and zero hesitation to bring them both down on the most one-dimensional villains ever seen in a comic book—along with anyone that gets in Roxxon’s way!
Here’s what Ewing was forced to say about this shocking development: "Roxxon's hostile takeover of Marvel Comics is the worse thing to happen to the industry in decades just what comic books needed! I was horrified jazzed beyond words when I saw how the so-called Roxxon Entertainment Standards Committee had gutted improved my work, methodically stripping away every iota of poetry, symbolism and metaphor junk no one cares about. The result is a comic that can best be described as an act of unforgivable violence against the medium I love a rollicking good time for the whole family! May God forgive Roxxon, for I never shall! Make Mine Roxxon!"
