Sorry about the quality of some of the scans.

AND LO, THOUGH YOU HAD THE POWER AND APPEARANCE OF MY SON ONLY AS A GIRL, IT IS I WHO LOVE YOU, AND THIS ISN'T CREEPY AT ALL...

This is such a bullshit story. Jane-as-Thordis does EVERYTHING that Thor would have, and is just as awesomely heroic, but in the end, Thor gets to play hero on Earth while Jane's happily ever after is in Asgard married to Odin.

Dammit, Uatu, stop ruining perfectly good stories with your confounded crack-shipping!
(Bet things got awkward when Freya eventually showed up...)

... I'd make some comment about this thing being prescient, but really the idea of a woman taking up Thor's hammer is one of those really obvious sort of ideas, which really should have been done years ago.
All things considered, this isn't too different from Aaron's work. There's a lot of the same beats...

[lordultimus]

Oh, see, the caption specifically says that Freya isn't a problem. What happened to her?

...OOOH, LOOK AT THE PRETTY BUNNY, LOOK AT THE PRETTY BUNNY1

[jlbarnett]

dammit, where's the like button

[scorntx]

A'right, I'm lookin'.
What am I supposed to be lookin' at?

[thanekos]

The quality's fine- the lower quality scans only reflect the quality of the site you linked them from.

[agharta75]

We'd get lots of outraged fanboys?

[scorntx]

More like "it's not as awesome as you'd hoped".
Also, "Odin becomes a major creep-tastic creep."

[zylly]

...why doesn't Thordis's version of the costume have pants?

[seisachtheia]

I'll always remember this one for pantless Odin macking on Jane Foster.

[locuatico]

We can at least rest easy with the knowledge that Jane was probably a far more competent ruler than Odin, highly improved Midgard/Asgard relationships and that after all the rulers of the nine realms minus Jane died in a "mysterious" accident and she alone made the "sacrifice" of ruling all nine realms, everyone will bow upon the monuments build to honore her magnificence.
...
...also, the free healthcrase is top quality.

[mizerous]

What do you mean a what if story this currently is happening. :P

[gnarll]

Thordis is such a grannys name. It was popular in the 30s and 40s to name girls that.

[lamashtar]

Yeah, I was "now, aren't there like TWO or more exes of Odins"--Noooope! All Odin's exes died in tragic bus accidents.

That said, its still creepy to date your son's sorta girlfriends.

Also THOR/SIF 4EVA AND EVA so there!!!11()(&)(7^$%$

[malitia]

Gaea is still around, mind you she probably didn't marry him. Also she is both Thor's mother and Freyja's grandmother (so Thor's adoptive great grandmother).

[scorntx]

Because she's, like, a girl, in the 60s, man.
Pants are for squares.

(sorry for the slang)
(*isn't actually sorry)

[deh_tommy]

To be fair, I think that's made clear that Thor broke up with her after his memories returned.

What I find a bit weird is that Jane Foster, his ex-Girlfriend, is now his Stepmother.

[deh_tommy]

Yo, daddyo, didn't the Robins not have no trousers either? *snap* *snap*

[lamashtar]

Incest is pretty normal among gods..

Could a man not marry his son?

[stubbleupdate]

[lyricalswagger]

"What if Jane Foster were Thor's mom?"
