Will Odinson become the Mighty Thor once more?
Jason Aaron‘s mini-series following Odinson’s quest for Ultimate Thor‘s hammer reaches its finale this week! Odinson has battled off all who stood in his way including the Collector and Black Swan. With the help of his old friend, Beta Ray Bill, he has at last reached the location of the weapon that will make him the Mighty Thor once more. Will he be found worthy and wield a hammer fit for Thor again? One more challenger stands in his way who plans to pick up the weapon before Odison can: Thanos, the Mad Titan.
The final battle is here between two figures in the Marvel Universe who’ve undergone major trials and tribulations over the last couple years of comics. Who will lay the ultimate smacketh down? To say Jason Aaron’s been building up his Odinson saga with the greatest touch of craft and care is a bit of an understatement at this point. With art from Pascal Alixe and Aaron Kim Jacinto the final chapter of this book of Thor should be astounding.
At long last we’ve been promised to know what Nick Fury said to Thor Odinson during Original Sin that made him unworthy. The question we’ve been waiting an answer for since 2014 is at hand. Undoubtedly, all the answers we finally get will also pose a few more questions. Whatever happens next, it’s one of those rare moments in superhero comics where the old lyric, “times, they are a’changin'” feels appropriate.
