The Asgardian gods live in cycles. They live, they fight, they die, they do a Ragnarok, they come back.
Such is the POWER OF STORIES(TM).
So it should come as no surprise that, even if Al Ewing’s Immortal Thor ends with the Odinson dying, the subsequent volume, already announced, starts with the hero’s return.
The question lies in how. But that’s not for us to know. Not yet.
Check out Alex Ross’ cover to Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry’s Thor #1, out Aug. 27, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
Thor’s impending demise in the pages of Al Ewing’s IMMORTAL THOR has been teased for months. Now, learn about 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 the 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.
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.
“Since the very first issue of IMMORTAL THOR, Thor’s been facing the end of his tale… but that was only the end of Act One,” Ewing explained. “As the next chapter begins, Thor must face threats he’s never faced, from a place he’s never been… until now. Is he alive? Is he dead? Is he immortal… or much, much more? You’ll have to join us to find out.”
