Tomorrow's Comics... Today!
Incidentally, just to save you all some cash, here's what I realized when discussing Civil War #4 with Jake last night:
I can't shake the feeling that we're in for at least a year, maybe two of shitty Thor comics in which Dippy Clonebot Thor struggles to make sense of who he is, the expectations others have of him, and a journey of self-discovery that, depressingly, will probably not involve Asgard.
I'm just saying.
Damn.

miller said that he wanted to use the real thor but he wasn't allowed, because it would have been contradicting the thor series.
so the thor series will probably be about the return of real thor.
Ah, that's good news indeed! Thanks, anonymous!
I still wouldn't be surprisd to see a twelve issue self-discovery arc, ending with Clone Thor meeting up with Don Blake and Mjolnir and merging.
Nice to see that Marvel didn't stop Millar because it would be completely out of character for Thor.
Stupid Marvel.
And then, when he discovers all this, he gets shot in the back of the head. Because, you know, that's real.
Reed's a clone, too. So is Iron Man. In a shocking twist, Captain America is also a clone, so their presentation of both sides of the clone issue is balanced.
Wait a second, this is the unfinished plot to Spider-man's Clone Wars isn't it? They just changed the costumes, right? Right?
Ah well, at least I have a new word in my vocabulary. Clor.
Power Man needed a band-aid!
I'm assuming that the real Thor is indeed coming back, and was in fact the guy with the "D.B." on his hat from Strazynski's FF issue who trotted off with the hammer. I'm also assuming he'll show up later to smack down the clone Thor. Is this not completely obvious?
Um, yes. I think it is. I don't think anyone's saying anything different. The question is how many issues will JMS stretch it out until the real Thor is back in action, fully restored.
I've heard JMS will establish that Lady Sif actually jumped into the sack with Norman Osborn and had a kid, which will be artificially aged-up to be the new Thor.
Kidding, of course....but it says something about JMS and Marvel when there's that split-second of wondering if it's actually true.
Sorry, Thor-Clone is a monster. Evil, beady eyed and making you lock the door at night level monster.
(you know, the kind that the Illuminati sent into space? *sigh*)
He won't be given a fair shake. No 'gained humanity' moments outside of a short 'Sarah.. friend?' moment of clarity before his head's taken off or he's also blasted into space.
Then aain, I'm asking Marvel to be fair...
The question is how many issues will JMS stretch it out
JMS? Who said anything about JMS? JMS isn't doing the clone Thor; Millar's going to sweep up the clone Thor in Civil War in time for JMS to bring the "real" Thor back in the new series.
Everyone knows that clone storylines have been massive, amazing successes for Marvel.
