Mighty Thor #1

"Look up, think big, fight hard. These are god-scaled threats only gods are qualified to handle. This is beyond everything imaginable.”

So goes writer Matt Fraction’s mission statement for The Mighty Thor, the new ongoing series starring Marvel’s Lord of Thunder that kicks off tomorrow. Following “The World Eaters,” Fraction and artist Pasqual Ferry’s introductory arc on Thor — which continues through March — the landscape for our favorite Asgardian has altered dramatically.

“When the dust settles, not everyone goes home,” prefaces the writer of what’s still to come in “The World Eaters.” “The entire status quo of Asgard has changed. The whole citizenry of the World Tree [has] arrived on Earth for protection. Odin is back and angry about it. To say nothing of what happens to the World Tree itself.”

On that ominous note, we can disclose that Thor and his sometime lady love, the warrior woman Sif, will journey into the fractured nexus of nine worlds in the first arc of The Mighty Thor. What they bring back will lure some truly monumental visitors who no sane resident of the Marvel Universe wants showing up on their doorstep. Need a hint? The story’s called “The Galactus Seed.”
