Al Ewing and Martin Coccolo are bringing back the Thor Corps in the pages of The Immortal Thor #5 from Marvel Comics.
Toranos has returned — and to face him, the King of Asgard has gathered his army. But if even an army of storm gods could not stop the Elder God of Thunder…what then? This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR… and the battle that will define him.
In a press release from Marvel Comics, Ewing said, “I had it in my head for a while that I wanted to do a second Immortal title because I wanted another swing at something that was that big and meaningful. I was also looking to do something a bit more optimistic. Hulk is a very horror-based character, and I was writing a lot of heavy emotional stuff in there… I think Thor, in his nature, is a high fantasy character… so you sort of write that from a position of hope. That’s nice – it’s nice to have a little hope!”
So who is in the new Thor Corps? Check out the cover art from Alex Ross.
Ewing also said, “Well, let’s talk about that cover… it’s basically everyone – well, not everybody because Eric Masterson is sadly no longer with us – but, a whole bunch of people who have previously been Thor are Thor again… to back up Thor. The main Thor!”
The Immortal Thor #5 arrives on December 13, 2023.
