Comic Book Talk

Well, this is hilariously stupid. Spoilers about for Avengers 42 and Thor:

"Enough. Here's what we will discover in Avengers #42. That Phoenix is not only the past love of Odin, father of Thor. But the Phoenix force is also the mother of Thor. "

For those keeping track, Thor's original mother was Frigga/Freyja. Then that was retconned into her being his stepmother, and his REAL mother was Gaea. Now that's been retconned again into the fact that his REAL mother is...The Phoenix Force. Despite the fact that Gaea being Thor's mother played a role in Empyre literally just a few months back.

First, Jason Aaron and his weird Phoenix fetish need to go away. Avengers right now is literally a tournament to see who gets to be the next Phoenix. These things are best used sparingly, and he does the opposite.

Second, while I have no problem with a good retcon in comics and certainly they need to happen at times, Marvel just throws them out like crazy these days. Editorial really needs to pump the breaks on the "Nah, what you read was horse sheet, here's the REAL story." stuff constantly being churned out.
