AL EWING, MARTIN COCCOLO & ALEX ROSS GIVE THE GOD OF THUNDER THE ‘IMMORTAL’ TREATMENT!
In Norse myths, they called him Thunderer. Vuer has he been called, and Hloriddi. The Gods know him as Asgard’s King, keeper of Mjolnir, hero of the tales.
When injustice grips the Earth and ancient powers bring down the sky, he fights for those who cannot – and when the tale is done, we will know what that cost him. This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR.

Enter Toranos the Utgard Thor! What a great first issue. Loki is up to no good as he somehow rebuilds the bifrost. Thor enters happily, finds himself in Midgard only to be attacked by the mighty god Toranos.
ReplyDeleteThor vanquishes Toranos at an incredible cost and is exhausted as a result. He travels to the dark side of the moon to rest. Enter Loki, who offers to help Thor - but needs him to trust him as an enemy. Enter the evil trickster. On to issue 3 to learn what Loki has in store for Thor.
ReplyDeleteFinished issue 3. Thor escapes Loki’s dream world, only to realize that a Loki was protecting him the entire time, allowing Thor to heal from his first battle with Toranos. The final panels show Thor building a new team to take on the enemy. Enter the Goddess of Thunder.
ReplyDeleteRead issue 4. Awesome issue. Enter the Thor Corps! Thanks to Loki, Thor and the trickster device a plan to overpower Toranos - sharing Mjorin. Loki, Jane Foster, Bill, Storm each take turns holding the hammers creating a power team of 5 Thirs - The Thor Corps!
ReplyDeleteThor Corps take on Toranos and send him back to his realm - wherever that is. The Thor Corps disband, but the final panels see Skurge and Enchantress in Roxxon headquarters conspiring with Minotaur. Enter a new story arc and on to issue 6.
ReplyDeleteWe take a break in the series with a single issue story that seems to be a flashback to Thor 272, the first appearance of Skyrmir. The last few panels show that Minotaur is the one actually reading the comic. There is something about Skyrmir, Roxxon and Minotaur that will lead to Thor’s doom. On to issue 7 for what should be the new story arc.
ReplyDeleteThis story is getting terribly confusing. After the last two issues, I’m going to drop this series. It looks like Al Ewing has taken a single issue from Thor’s past, issue 272, and expanded it into a run. Roxxon is reading the story, but has “bought the rights” and is modifying to story to fit the new narrative they are creating. The last few books seem to break the barrier between reader and writer. I’m sure there is some clever shit going on here - but I’m just not digging it. I think it’s time to say good-bye to Thor. I’ll favor the new Conan series moving forward.
