STAR-STUDDED CELEBRATION OF 750 ISSUES!

After a scorched-earth victory against the God of Hammers, Thor and all of Asgard reel from a brutal loss. But some people are never truly gone…And in honor of 750 issues of THOR, fan-favorite creators like J. Michael Straczynski and Walter Simonson return in this oversized issue!

Celebrate the long and storied history of the God of Thunder with the writers and artists who helped build his legacy!

72 PGS./Rated T+ …$8.99

We open the issue…

…with a multi-page…

…by a grieving son…

…with his brothers by his side and…

…mother near…

…as the legend of the All-Father Odin is honored and eulogized.

What follows were several stories from Thor creative teams of the past including a Loki story set far in the future, but…

…where Lokis mourn Odin in present day and…

….leading into the upcoming Defenders: Beyond limited series (more here).

The book begins to end with the eulogy over and sacred arrow ceremony that Thor has Loki do in his place that culminates in the body of Odin being burned.

However, the spirit of Odin haunts Thor…

…angering the thunder god, but…

…also setting him on a new quest…

…to find out what happened to Valhalla the heaven for Nordic warriors and the Norse gods when they pass.

Next up is the Banner of War cross-over with the Hulk (full Banner of War checklist is here).

The Pulse:

A padded milestone issue with creative teams olde, but a satisfying read nonetheless. Solid art throughout. Intrigued by what’s next. 8 out of 10.
