10 Exciting Comic Books Coming In 2020

10. Thor - Donny Cates

The Odinson has come out of the last decade as one of the most popular comic book characters there is, but in the comics Thor has seen some big design changes since his introduction to the MCU. Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman presided over a lauded run on Thor along with other artists, but when it was announced that Donny Cates (Venom, Guardians Of The Galaxy) was taking over as writer, the news worried some newer fans.

Following on from Aaron's seven year run, the Guardians of the Galaxy writer has a tough task in telling Thor's story now the Ten Realms are finally at peace, but if anyone can take on that challenge, it's Cates. The solicitations for issues #1 to #3 are currently available and this run is already looking jam packed with action, featuring the return of Beta Ray Bill, big stories for Sif and a whole new threat - dubbed 'The Black Winter' - ready to descend on Asgard and challenge the now King.

Speaking to CBR, Cates has said he wants his run "to sound like Norwegian Black Metal", and when looking at the new look Nic Klein has given The God of Thunder, that makes a lot of sense. Klein has created a darker looking design that wouldn't look out of place wandering the dark forests of Norway.

Thor #1 is available NOW!
