The relaunched Thor: God of Thunder series from a couple of years ago is set to hit issue 25 on September 17th, 2014 and Marvel has now pulled out a look at a few pages of it as well as the variant covers. And we do get some interesting covers as they come from Milo Manara, Simon Bisley and RM Guera. The release is the finale of the series as events are changing and the oversized book brings the talents of Jason Aaron and a pretty solid gruop of artists together to work on it with Esad Ribic, Simon Bisley and RM Guera doing the interior chores. This issue is also noteworthy as it’ll be the first appearance of the new Thor, whose series kicks off on October 2014.
Plot concept: First, it’s Young Thor vs. the Frost Giants as Jason Aaron and artist Simon Bisley (2000 AD) tell you a tale the brash, youthful God of Thunder as he wields his enchanted battle axe Jarnbjorn against the worst Jotunheim has to offer! Then, Aaron reteams with his artistic collaborator from Scalped, R.M. Guera, to bring you the blood-soaked origins of one of the God of Thunder’s most maniacal villains – Malekith the Accursed! Witness the untold origin of the ruler of the Dark Elves as he cuts a bloody swath across the Ten Realms in his rise to power and prominence!
Finally, as the Thor of today deals with the startling fallout of Original Sin, fast forward to the future as Aaron and blockbuster Thor: God of Thunder artist Esad Ribic bring you a new tale of King Thor and the Girls of Thunder. Deep in the halls of Asgard, Thor’s granddaughters have uncovered a startling secret chapter of Thor’s past. A secret long since buried. Who is the new God of Thunder and why was her existence kept secret?
