The secret is out and comic fans now know that Thor is  Dr. Jane Foster who when wielding Mjolnir gets the power of Thor. The crazy thing is that while Thor is all powerful Dr. Foster, unfortunately, is not as she currently battles cancer when not saving the realms as the Goddess of Thunder.

This interpretation reminds me of the Donald Blake version of Thor that also dealt with a frail alter ego. While many fans were uncertain of a female wielding the power of Thor I have found the writing from the previous series to be solid and really think this new series will continue that trend. The Thor of the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe has lots to contend with including enemies both old and new and, of course, the disease that is killing her mortal form. Check out the preview and be on the look out for issue #1 when it goes on sale on November 11th.
