I am fine with this change. Someone I know is fairly upset with Thor being a woman and suggested that it's simply lazy writing on Marvel's part. He suggested they should have just created a new series and used a female character from Norse mythology. I can understand that argument but they're obviously using Thor because the name alone will get people to buy the comic. That's a popular property that will have fans buying just to check it out. I imagine that establishing a following for a brand new character is a lot more difficult.

The whole argument surrounding this change reminds me a lot of the first Thor movie actually. People complained when Idris Elba was cast as Heimdall because "it's Norse mythology." Who cares? I think some people just hate change. I suspect this will end up either being a one-off or she'll spin off into her own series at some point with male Thor returning.

Edit: As an aside, I think she looks pretty cool. I'd rather her have the wings on the side of her helmet instead of those metal pieces.
