Immortal Thor #8 by Al Ewing and Martín Cóccolo. Cover by Alex Ross. Variant cover by Alexander Lozano. Out in March 2024.

"A GOD ENSNARED!

Thor confronted his mother Gaea about her machinations in Midgard… and the dark secrets she had kept from him.

Meanwhile, a trap was prepared – baited with blood vengeance, laced with insidious poison and carefully set by she who perhaps cared for the Odinson best.

This is the story of the IMMORTAL THOR… and of the women who loved him."

Ever since Al Ewing’s next big project/sequel to Immortal Hulk, Immortal Thor, got announced, I’ve been wracking my brain as to what it’s going to actually be like and be about. I mean it’s obvious that Ewing is going to try and do for Thor what he did for Hulk; a massive, boundary-smashing run that ties together the character’s entire history into a single coherent epic and returns him to his roots while simultaneously sending him into insane new directions. But what’s that going to actually BE LIKE?

Let’s look at what we know. In the announcement interview, Ewing specifically mentions how Thor as a character and series has always been more fantasy, hope, and adventure-oriented than Hulk’s sci-fi psychological dread and doom. He describes Immortal Thor as basically being the New Testament to Immortal Hulk’s Old Testament. The solicitation puts a lot of emphasis on Thor as a hero who battles impossible odds to protect the vulnerable and oppressed, and whose heroism comes at terrible cost to himself. And there’s, of course, emphasis on Thor being “immortal”; of how he’s been saving the world for countless centuries, such that he’s been known by many different names. There’s specific mention of Thor battling threats like “Elder Gods”, calling to mind some of the classic Thor storylines where he battled forces even greater than he like the Celestials and Surtur and Jormungandr. And clearly there is going to be heavy religious themes to the story, as Immortal Hulk was, at its center, a religious tale, and with Thor that’s going to be even more pronounced given Thor is directly modeled on/inspired by a real deity.

I think that Immortal Thor is going to be a horror story much like Immortal Hulk was. But it’s going to be in a different way. Dark fantasy in contrast of Immortal Hulk’s science fiction. Immortal Hulk was a story about a normal man who stepped into a mad world and tried to understand why these bad things happened to him, to comprehend the strange cosmic happenings, and ultimately was forced to realize that he CAN’T understand the vast, unknowable thing he’s chasing, at least not like this. That he’s getting only a snapshot of an ocean that will destroy him if he keeps pushing into its depths.

Immortal Thor will be the opposite. The story of a hero, a god who understands the vast weight and complexity and terror of what he’s facing, but fights nonetheless to protect the world. A sentinel standing guard over a world that barely understands how precarious its position is. An eternal hero fighting an eternal war in the vein of Michael Moorcock’s protagonists, weathering the horror and trauma for people who barely understand him, like a soldier who leaves his utopic city everyday to hold back the monsters just outside their walls while everyone is none the wiser. That’s he’s deep-sea-diving in the ocean and being pummeled by its tides and pressures and monsters.

Immortal Thor is, like Immortal Hulk, going to be a story of immortality and not being able to die, of trauma and the struggle to find peace afterwards, and of trying to hold yourself together in the face of something incomprehensibly vast. But where Immortal Hulk was essentially the story of a civilian, a peasant’s take on such a thing, Immortal Thor will be that of a soldier or king’s. It will be a story of a shell-shocked, burnt out Thor trying not to buckle beneath the weight of his ever-increasing responsibilities and the unending horrors he faces daily, while also desiring to make a meaningful life for himself, one where he doesn’t have to fight everyday and where he isn’t tormented by the memories of war and all he’s lost. It will be about contrasting the hope that Thor brings to the people of Earth as one of the gods’ greatest champions with the despair and guilt Thor himself grapples with in the face of all he’s experienced, all he’s fighting against, and all he’s done in the name of saving. Essentially, where Immortal Hulk was “powerless against the system”, Immortal Thor will be “heavy is the head that wears the crown”. Something especially potent when one keeps in mind Thor’s roots as a character inspired by Norse religion.

Where Immortal Hulk spent much time driving home what an absolute disaster Bruce’s life has become because of his trauma and powers, dwelling on the wreckage he left behind him, both literally and figuratively, and ended with him having to accept that he can’t go back and undo it, just try his best to move on and that just because his story never ends doesn’t mean he can’t be at least somewhat happy in it, Immortal Thor will ultimately be about emphasizing the great good that Thor has done in the world, while also showing the immense cost to himself or others. The hard choices, the burdens. And it will perhaps ultimately end with Thor being granted some measure of freedom from this role, freedom from the hardship and battlefield.

I don’t know, this is just extrapolating, or perhaps hoping. August can’t come soon enough. This really is the Marvel book I’m most excited for this year and I think it’s going to be exactly what Ewing intends it to be; Thor’s Immortal Hulk.

Immortal Thor #11 by Al Ewing and Martín Cóccolo. Cover by Alex Ross. Variant cover by Art Adams. Out in May.

"Tyr had vanished, and there were whispers of cosmic forces at work. And so, the children of Odin gathered in their father’s name – to search for one of their own.

Regal Thor, fierce Angela, brave Balder, swift Hermod, quiet Honir, strong Vidar, cunning Loki, even Laussa the youngest, all were there… and another beside. Another, whose name they feared.

This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR… and the lost son of Odin."
