The Roxxon Age of Marvel Comics will begin this April as writer Al Ewing releases an all-new Thor one-shot titled Roxxon Presents: Thor #1.Recent issues of Immortal Thor have seen Roxxon CEO Dario Agger (The Minotaur) executing his plan to bring down Thor, and he takes that plan even further by buying out Marvel Comics and owning the rights to the hit 616 comic book series. Roxxon Presents: Thor #1 is the “official” Thor title presented by Roxxon, and it introduces Roxxin’ Thor while also featuring an all-star cast that includes Minotaur, Executioner, Enchantress and more. Ewing recently discussed with CBR the motives behind Roxxon’s Marvel takeover, what other characters are involved in the story, and whether the new Roxxin’ Thor has any familiar ties to Thor that fans may already recognize.Al Ewing: Well, here in our world Marvel Comics just tells fictional stories, but in the fictional Marvel Universe where all these characters live, there’s also a Marvel Comics — established as far back as the sixties, when Stan and Jack thought it’d be fun to have Doctor Doom turn up at the offices and threaten his own creators. This isn’t an idea unique to Marvel, obviously — Sgt. Rock once teamed up with Batman to rescue Bob Haney, and in the forties, crossovers were often treated as literal, with the characters aware that they belonged in one comic and were making a guest appearance in another.
