    This seems to have been missed amid the mass of info flooding out of San Diego Comic Con 2010.  It's not just a new Thor series... it's a new Ultimate Thor series. 
     
    On Earth-1610 (better known as Marvel's Ultimate Universe) Thor was seen as a mad man with powers.  It was believed that he was suffering from delusions of grandeur, who just happened to have powers over the weather.  What do you do with a guy like that?  Humour him, include him in your team of Ultimates & hope he doesn't go completely off the deep end.  But what if he was right...? 
     
    Thor has featured in a lot of the new line of Ultimate Titles.  So it seems only inevitable that Marvel have finally announced a new Ultimate Thor series.  Written by Jonothan Hickman with art by (one of my own all time favourites) Carlos Pacheco.  Sadly, this is all the information that was announced during the Mondo Marvel Panel.    
     
    To bolster up this lack of information was a gorgeous cover, and whole bunch of sketches.  I'm only guessing that the sketches are connected to this new Ultimate series from their strangely different appearances.  Thanks to Morpheus_ for help identifying some of the characters over at the Who is this? thread. 
     
    Mmm... Beardy Thor!

    I'll be getting this. The creative team should make it worthwhile. I have enjoyed various bits and pieces from Hickman's Fantastic 4, and Pacheco performs at steadily good degree in everything I've seen him draw.
     
    As for the characters, I hadn't really considered that they would be a part of the Ultimate Universe when I gave my estimations. For instance, Loki has made an appearance in the Ultimate Universe already, but it stands to reason that he should have a pivotal part in Thor's title, as well.

    @Morpheus_: It didn't occur to me that's what those other sketches were until you named them.  Then it all seemed to fall into place.   
     
    Anyway, I'm not a fan of the Ultimate Universe.  I'll go so far as to say that I hate it...  But Ultimate Beardy Thor has some aesthetic merits ;)

    This looks freaking awesome, but I am just alittle curious. I am behind on my Ultimate comics and the last time I read one was The "New" Ultimates, whatever happened with Thor and Hela? I am assuming they got it on, is Thor back in the land of the living? Or still stuck in Hel?

    I love the UU. Can't wait for this title. With Thor just recently coming back from the dead I think he deserves his own title.
