Article Summary

Marvel's Immortal Thor series ends with a dramatic finale promising the death and rebirth of Thor.
Al Ewing continues as writer as the Thor comic relaunches in August 2025 with a new direction.
Despite initial solicitations, the upcoming series will not be titled simply Thor as expected.
The new comic title change signals major changes for the hero.

Tomorrow sees the publication of The Immortal Thor #25 by Al Ewing and Justin Greenwood from Marvel Comics, promising the death of Thor. It comes after two years of The Immortal Thor, which followed Al Ewing and Joe Bennett's The Immortal Hulk, which ran for over five years. But Al Ewing is staying with the book; indeed, it seems to be part of an overall plan. Because the new book isn't called what people think it will be called…
