Thor’s impending demise in the pages of Al Ewing’s IMMORTAL THOR was teased for months. Now, his coming rebirth!

Following IMMORTAL THOR #25 in July, Ewing will launch a new run of THOR alongside artist Pasqual Ferry, who makes a thunderous return to character following his acclaimed work during Matt Fraction’s Thor run. A major shift in Ewing’s overall Thor narrative, THOR #1 sets up a captivating new status quo for the God of Thunder unlike any in his 60+ year history.

Comic Watch Review:

The God of Thunder has been on a hero’s journey worthy of Asgardian legend, triumphing in thunderous battle against the Gods of Utgard. At the cusp of victory against these exiled Elder Gods, a dark prophecy was fulfilled—Thor was slain by Loki!

To protect Asgard, the Rainbow Bridge was shattered, wiping Thor and all of Asgard from Midgard’s memory…

This is the story of Sigurd Jarlson, the MORTAL THOR!

The Mortal Thor #1

THE LEGEND BEGINS!

The Norse Myths tell of Gods who walked the Earth, doing great deeds for the mortals who believed in them. But Asgard isn’t real, and never was. The Gods never soared in our skies, never stood with our heroes, never fought for kindness or justice. It was all just a story. Nobody’s coming to help us. But somewhere in the city… a man is waking up. A man with a hammer.
