Rise of The Mighty Thor


Latest news from Marvel is that, Marvel Animation is developing and self-producing a 26 half-hour episode series based on its long-running comic book "Thor," with the series targeted to launch in fall 2010, following Marvel's live-action feature THOR, which will hit theaters on July 16, 2010.

The animated series will follow Thor, the Norse god of thunder, as he defends his mythical home of Asgard against fantastical villains, fiendish hordes, winged creatures and angry giants. The show will take place in various worlds -- from mountainous landscapes to places of icy mists and fiery voids -- and will include many of the comic's supporting cast, including Balder the Brave, the Warriors Three and Thor's evil adopted brother, Loki.

Marvel president of animation Eric Rollman said the series is part of the company's plan to follow each live-action movie with an animated series and "offer a continued awareness in the marketplace."

Now for nostalgic sake, below is the intro to the old 1966 Mighty Thor Animated series. Its a classic for super Thor fans, i still remember watching them when i was 6 years old. Its still Entertaining!

This is awesome. Thor has really grown on me as a character the more I read of him through his solo comics and in the Avengers
