What happened with reducing the print run of an issue?
If Marvel were to cut back on the print runs then titles like this wouldn’t cost so much to come out.
That way the title could find it’s audience, retain it, and if Marvel pick up a few more readers down the track; awesome.
But no. It has to be all blaze and glory, all right now.
How sad.

Bloody hell. I just started buying this title too. And I don’t even like Thor very much. This seems like a bad call on Marvel’s part. But I guess that’s what happens when a book like this is stuck selling only in comic shops few potential buyers ever visit. Pisses me off a bit though.

I’ve been cutting back on overhyped Marvel junk for years. Now they’re helping me do it. Rotten Avengers titles, Hulks upon Hulks, Daredevil who’s not Daredevil, Ramos on Spider-Man (arrgghh!), Iron-Robot … er … Iron-Man run amok, and Captain America without Cap. Marvel has convoluted the origins of their characters, created so many different versions in an effort by their creators to win the movie lottery … where their version is selected to be on screen. It’s a property marketing company now, Marvel is. Story and fun have all but vanished. The only shining light that I found was Thor: The Mighty Avenger. A new take on the character, to be sure. But one done with affection, humor, and intelligence. And now it’s gone.

“I think it’s definitely victim to the overwhelming number of Thor books to hit the market in anticipation of the upcoming movie.”

This.

Marvel is trying to force the market to accept extra titles for all these characters getting movies, and, not surprisingly, the market isn’t all that interested.

I wish Thor: TMA was like Nova. Nova had almost no chance of surving, but it did after 36 issues.

it is almost like the tail is wagging the dog now. marvel seems more concerned with their movie division than publishing Quality magazines. the comics are nothing more to them than another way to promote their movies…or potential films. they are flooding the market with mere product. the number of titles and the lack of quality in so many of them is diluting their entire line.

this is not the title to cancel. marvel has w-a-y too many books out now. there is no way you even hope to collect everything they publish. there are too many avengers, thor, iron man, hulk books out right now. this book was lost in the flood of all the other ‘product’ marvel is gearing up to be reprinted in trade paperback when the thor movie is released and flops. i agree with kevin:

What happened to the Disney buyout helping float lower seller titles?

This will make a great collected hardcover for my collection. Next to Nextwave in the “killed too soon” shelf.

Well, we knew this was coming from the announcement that they’d be cutting back titles early in 2011. I’d expect more to fall by the wayside before they’re done.

Marvel really seems to be quick to pull the trigger of late. I can’t recall the last time any other company canceled a book so fast, either.

This is a shame. It’s the best Thor book on the shelf right now and one of the best books period. I think it’s definitely victim to the overwhelming number of Thor books to hit the market in anticipation of the upcoming movie. There’s so many slightly altered versions of Thor that were all launched in recent months that they’re each struggling to find their own voice. I’m disappointed. This is an amazing book. Best of luck to the creators.

First YA, then She-Hulks being in a 4 issue mini, and now this. Sucks for good comics but hey marvel really thinks Red Hulk in Crappy Avengers or fake Spider-Girl book that will be canceled by April is important.

At least we have another GL crossover to look forward to this winter…and 13 Avengers titles…
