It's official: the rights to Marvel Comics are now owned by the notoriously evil Roxxon Energy Corporation. The rights to the metafictional version of Marvel Comics that actually exists within the Marvel Universe, that is, which, much like the real world Marvel Comics, tells the tales of superheroes such as Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and of course Thor.
That news actually broke back in 2023's Immortal Thor #4, but Marvel (the real world Marvel) has now announced when and how Roxxon's purchase of the fictional Marvel Comics will first start to make waves, with April's Roxxon Presents: Thor #1 by writer Al Ewing and artist Greg Land, introducing Roxxon's revamped version of Thor, Chad Hammer, a pro-AI spokesman who also moonlights as The Roxxin' Thor, a "defender of big business and the sanctity of shareholder value."
