"God Bye, God Riddance"
The unmemorable banal adventures of Jane Foster as (a) Thor reach their inevitable conclusion. Not because of sales or severe backlash, but because, well, there was never much to her, was there?
Maybe the book just wasn't for us. Maybe we were a bit too miffed at (the real) Thor getting punted aside for the sake of a clumsy feminist message. One thing's for sure, we didn't care for it. Especially when juicer controversies like AMERICA and such popped up. Jane just kind of got lost in the shuffle.
Sadly, there's no way for (true) Thor fans to win past this point:
If sales of "FRESH START" Thor are WORSE than Whor's, then that'll give SJWs cause to claim that Jane was the superior character with the superior book with the overall superior concept because it sold better, prompting copycats or Thunder God forbid, a resurrection.
If sales of "FRESH START" Thor are BETTER than or EQUAL to Whor's, then that'll give Marvel the go ahead to continue to pull insultingly idiotic stunts like this in the future since fans will keep crawling back when their favorites are "restored".
So the most we can do...is mock her demise NOW. Have a ball with it. Because cancer is a cheap plot device and this simpering Mary Shrew stole Thor's 700th issue.
Oh yeah, there's one more instalment after this, but denouement comics are pure fluff, scams to filch you out of your time and money while the writer and artist cruise on by with near-zero effort to pad out the trades. So we're not storytiming that when it arrives.
This is (her) End.
