What Will Al Ewing & Martín Cóccolo's Immortal Thor Bring To Marvel?
Al Ewing and Martín Cóccolo launch a new series, Immortal Thor, in August with a return to a classic-looking Thor... or is it?
Al Ewing and Martín Cóccolo are to launch a new series, Immortal Thor, in August with thematic links to Al Ewing's Immortal Hulk. And from covers that have been seen, it's very much a return to a classic-looking Thor.
In today's Thor Annual, Marvel Comics gives a prelude as to what is to come. And is very much lampshading the transformation in look and in spirit of Thor, playing it all very much on the nose, both in costume..

Enter…MYTHOS!

AL EWING, MARTIN COCCOLO & ALEX ROSS GIVE THE GOD OF THUNDER THE "IMMORTAL" TREATMENT! In Norse myths, they called him Thunderer. Vuer has he been called, and Hloriddi. The Gods know him as Asgard's King, keeper of Mjolnir, hero of the tales. When injustice grips the Earth and ancient powers bring down the sky, he fights for those who cannot – and when the tale is done, we will know what that cost him. This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR. PLUS: A bonus page written by Jonathan Hickman – WHO ARE THE G.O.D.S.?
