Thor Vol. 1: Goddess Of Thunder

by: Kara Szamborski

A shift has occurred, perhaps not a cosmic one, but strong enough to lay low a god. The mighty Thor has been deemed unworthy of the enchanted hammer, Mjolnir, and he wastes away on the moon, fruitlessly trying to wield it once more. The All-Father, Odin, has returned to Asgard, now Asgardia under the All-Mother, Freyja, and their struggle for power will not end quietly.

Amid the chaos, Frost Giants of Jotunheim breach the space between realms to attack Roxxon Corp, of all places, to claim the found skull of their fallen king. With Earth in danger and the Odinson Thor a shadow of his former self, a woman lifts Mjolnir out of the moon-dust.

In this first volume of the new highly acclaimed Thor story, we do not yet know the identity of the Goddess of Thunder, but in that lack of knowledge lies a tantalizing truth—that we could all be worthy, if we but dared to do more, to be more than we are. The new Thor does not have all the answers, but she finds that with confidence (and a little bit of swagger) she can triumph. Read Thor, and find what it means to be truly worthy of the power of a god.
