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.

The Mortal Thor #1 is a bold and refreshing reinvention that strips the god of thunder down to his most human self. With sharp writing, emotional vulnerability, and tense street-level stakes, this debut proves that even gods can be reborn in surprising and powerful ways. Read Full Review
The Immortal Thor #1 is a good issue that new readers can dive into. You don't need to know what happened in the previous volume, but it'll help really appreciate things. Just knowing it's Thor without his memory is enough, but with Al Ewing, that might not even be the case. The Immortal Thor #1 is the start of the next chapter and one that shows off why Ewing is such a well respected and in-demand writer. Read Full Review
The Mortal Thor #1 paints a bold, electrifying picture of Thorsor shall I say Sigurdsfuture. Read Full Review
The Mortal Thor #1 reimagines Marvel's thunder god as a mortal trying to survive New York City, with no memories of Asgard or godhood to guide him. It's risky, strange, and surprisingly moving. The comic trades myth for grit, and in doing so, gives Thor's story a fresh spark. Read Full Review
The Mortal Thor #1 lumbers along, showcasing some impressive art but tripping over its own feet with a muddled plot. While the visuals deliver a powerful punch, the story's overall impact is about as subtle as a brick through a window, leaving too many questions unanswered. Read Full Review
Ferry was not my favorite Thor artist but I do think he brings a nice dynamism to the violent portions of the book that works pretty well. Here's hoping he has a chance to stick with the book throughout this particular act. Anyway, feels like a slow burn, but I dig it. I happen to enjoy the runs where Thor has a human avatar or form just as much as the crazy high concept stuff, so leaning so heavily into this aspect after the book has largely been about the opposite since the start of the Jason Aaron run is a nice change of pace.
Sorry, Like Ewing but I really just can’t get into Ferry. (And it honestly feels like I’ve already read this story once or twice before.)
