There’s good and bad here, but I gotta admit, I’m liking how they’re introducing the new female Thor character.

Female comics professionals and comics fans are frequent targets for online harassment, especially if they comment on feminist issues.
The harassment doesn’t always stay on the Internet. Asselin’s bank accounts were compromised after her article was published online, and independent comics editor Caitlin Rosberg says, “some people have had stuff mailed to their homes as a threat of ‘I know where you live.’ “
Marvel’s Jeanine Schaefer believes this behavior is partly driven by extreme fear on the part of some comics fans.
“There’s this perception that, ‘Well, if we let women in, then everything is going to change. They’re going to take away everything that I like about comics,’” Schaefer says.
