Al Ewing’s acclaimed Immortal Thor run concludes, paving the way for a brand-new beginning as the God of Thunder is reborn as a mortal in Mortal Thor #1!
Just when you thought you knew the story of Thor, everything changes! Today marks the release of Immortal Thor #25, the epic finale to Al Ewing’s highly praised series. This issue delivers a shocking twist: the death of Thor! But fear not, true believers, because this isn’t the end of the journey. Instead, it sets the stage for a bold new direction with Mortal Thor #1, hitting shelves next month.
Ewing, known for his myth-making prowess, is teaming up with legendary Thor artist Pasqual Ferry to explore what happens when the God of Thunder is stripped of his divinity. We’ve just gotten our first look at the stunning covers for this new series, promising an exciting new chapter for the Son of Odin.
The setup is truly epic: Thor’s hero’s journey against the Gods of Utgard ended with a dark prophecy fulfilled – his demise at the hands of Loki. To protect Asgard, the Rainbow Bridge was shattered, effectively erasing Thor and Asgard from Midgard’s memory.
So, what happens when a legend becomes just a story? That’s where Sigurd Jarlson comes in. As Ewing explains, this new saga sees Thor, now mortal, powerless, nameless, and without memory, walking the Earth. Yet, the fate of both Asgard and Midgard hinges on this “mortal man making the journey to return the magic of the Gods to the Earth.” And it won’t be easy – he’ll have to fight every step of the way.
Mortal Thor #1, featuring art by Pasqual Ferry and a striking cover by Alex Ross, arrives on July 14th. Don’t miss out on the start of this incredible new era!
