I don't remember for IM2, however I'm thinking that Thor is going to be closer to a "Wolverine" line than an "Iron Man 2" line, and it looks like it's Captain America that's getting the bigger "push."

Based on a Q&A answer Hasbro gave a few weeks back, it sounds like there might be comic-based figures in the works for Thor, but the answer was dodgy enough to leave room for some doubt. As noted above...we'll likely find out for sure in a little less than two weeks at Toy Fair.

All we know for sure is that we've seen considerably less for Thor than we already have for Captain America (which gets released later), and that we haven't seen any comic-based figures. I've heard rumors/scuttlebutt that retailers did not have a lot of faith in the Thor line (Maybe burned by Iron Man 2 pegwarmers?) and so it may end up being pretty scaled-back, which may not leave much room for a dedicated "comic series" for Thor even if that's been the MO for Marvel's other movie-lines so far.
