THOR VS. THOR!
Thor and the other leaders of the Ten Realms (and, uh, Hawkeye?) have gathered for a World Tree celebration! But the festivities come to an abrupt halt when a mysterious guest - and his otherworldly powers - crashes the party. And his "plus-one" is a dark, twisted version of Thor who is determined to become the iron-fisted ruler of all the realms!  
ALSO IN THIS ISSUE: Part 5 (of 8) of "Infinite Fury"!

    AIPT - David Brooke Jul 19, 2021

    This is a great annual in its own right thanks to some impeccable art throughout and a story deserving of the annual format. Kuder has supplied an exciting story that utilizes the hero-fighting-himself trope to perfection. It's also one of the prettiest superhero comics of the year, period. Read Full Review

    There is a lot to enjoy about Thor Annual #1. Kuder really put his skills to the test in both the story and the book's art. It's fun, and I love it when artists create beautiful panels and spread that make readers look at every detail to make sure they aren't missing anything. The inkers and colorist did a great job as well. The issue does come to a rather abrupt ending, which I didn't care for. However, it adds to the idea that Thor as a character has come a long way from who he used to be. Read Full Review

    I was excited for this Annual, but I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed it. It's the best kind of popcorn action comic- a punch-em-up with depth. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Lillian Hochwender Jul 19, 2021

    Thor Annual #1 is an action-packed, nostalgic read. In some ways a What If? issue, it reminds us of what transpired in older Thor stories, but also asks what might have happened instead. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford Jul 19, 2021

    As with other entries in theInfinite Destinies series, Thor Annual #1 delivers entertainment, though with little connection to the other books, save for the Fury backup story. Read Full Review

    For this one I would recommend it to Thor completionists or anyone who just want a Thor story and already have the one where he punches the Hulk so hard they destroy a planet. Read Full Review
