What's up with the renumbering on this? I'm totally happy/ecstatic they are doing that and I have to trust that the numbers ad up. I wonder if they are thinking of doing that with DD, Captain America, Iron Man or the Hulk?

You know I was going to ask the same question, I couldn't believe they rebooted Thor in the first place. Here's to hoping it sticks. (600, 601, 602 etc etc etc)

| According to the new Marvel Previews they are continuing the 1st series numbering. THOR #601 is listed as the next issue, not #14. 1st series end with #502. 2nd series had 85 issues. That's 587. So the current series' #13 is now #600. And yes I agree, I would like all series to return to the original/1st series numbering. Maybe they are waiting for a big number to come up like they did with this series and Fantastic Four. P.S. If you add the previous 4 Captain America series, 454-13-50-32, with the current one, 45, you get 594. Meaning #51 MAY get the re-numbering treatment as #600 a la THOR.  Also the first Daredevil series, 380 issues, combined with the current 114 could mean #120 may become #500.

I'm all in favor of having all the series renumbered to what they should be.

| Every couple of years, whenever there is an anniversary issue coming they go back to the original numbers to milk in the dough. A little later, they just relaunch the series back to # 1. This seems to go on and on, with Marvel I think they started this with Heroes Reborn? Ultimately, it stinks because in the end they lose readers.

| Slight problem with the math on the re-numbering of Thor though. I could see still keeping in the JiM numbers until it became Thor, at least to a point. But during Heroes Reborn Thor switched back to JiM for #'s 503-521. JiM was then cancelled the month before Thor v2 started. IMO the new numbering at 600 is off. It Should be Thor #619 not #600. 503-513 even featured the Asgardian Gods while Thor was off in the HR Universe.

WELL, THERE WE HAVE IT... NO MORE REBOOTING A SERIES AND JACKING UP THE NUMBERING SYSTEM! (speaking of Thor, anyone around here make emoticons? I want a Mjolnir emoticon; or a little yellow stern face with Mjolnir, have a couple lightning bolts flash above it, sling the hammer out of view, and then have it come back to Thor-emoticons little yellow... body. (gonna say hand but...). Word.

They were numbered 503-521 but it was named Journey into Mystery (1st series), guess since that was were the Thor numbering originally started.
