Alessandro Vitti is the New Artist for Thor, Rather Than Keanu Reeves

Last year, Alessandro Vitti was all ready to be the artist on Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt's comic book BRZRKR #1. But a month before the comic book was due to launch, suddenly he wasn't any more, replaced by Ron Garney. Even the variant cover that he'd done was replaced by one by Mark Brooks. It was like Alessandro Vitti was wiped from the Matrix.

As a result, the comic book was delayed considerably until it launched this month, selling close to two-thirds of a million copies of the first issue. The details were never made public, but it must have cost everyone involved a pretty penny.

And what of Alessandro Vitti? Recently he has been finishing off the pandemic-postponed Taskmaster series, but it looks like Marvel has big plans for the boy. Which is why, as of June, Alessandro Vitti is the new regular artist on Thor, replacing Nic Klein and joining Donny Cates on the title. Who, once was in the running to write BRZRKR with Keanu Reeves as well. Making the Thor comic the League Of Evil Exes as far as Keanu is concerned. Here's the solicitation from Marvel.
