So I haven't been good at keeping up with my Marvels lately other than the X-men, and upon picking up AXIS today a couple of things confused me, I'm hoping you guys can shed a light on:

- Why is Thor still... Male, considering we have a new boobesque Thor since last week?
(I have yet to pick up the issue, my store was out of stock).

- I know that Falcon is now Cap, but why has Steve Rogers aged so much all of a sudden?

Thanks in advance. :)

Thor is still himself. He just cannot pick up the hammer anymore so he is carrying his axe. The female Thor is a different person who hasn't been seen yet other than at the end of the last Thor issue. We still don't know who she is and she hasn't appeared in any other comic yet.

Cap had the super soldier serum sucked out of him by the Iron Nail in his comic book a while back and it caused him to age. This is why he can no longer be Captain America so he handed the title and shield over to Sam Wilson.

Aaaah thanks so much!
I knew about Thor not being able to pick up his hammer, I can't believe I didn't notice he had an axe.

Thanks for the Cap clarification. :)

@starwatcher: Glad that you got clarification good sir.

@cap10nate:

The axe Thor is using, is it the same axe that cuts celestial armor that he used in his youth? Janjbarn or something like that?

@hulk340: I don't believe that it has been explicitly stated that it is the same axe.

@cap10nate:

Thanks.

it has been

@killraven4334:

So it is that axe ?
