Jason Aaron and Esad Ribić end an era in this King Thor #1 exclusive
For the past seven years, Jason Aaron has been giving a master class in superhero fantasy in his Thor run, a story that functions as both a comprehensive character study and a war epic that spans all of space and time. Aaron has built this sprawling narrative across multiple ongoings and miniseries with regular tie-ins to larger Marvel events, building to a grand climax that put Thor at the center of his own crossover with War Of The Realms. Last week’s Thor #16 wrapped up the tale of present-day Thor with a heartwarming series finale highlighting the thunder god’s new sense of responsibility as the king of Asgard, but Aaron isn’t done yet. He reunites with his original Thor: God Of Thunder collaborators—artist Esad Ribić, colorist Ive Svorcina, and letterer Joe Sabino—for King Thor, a four-part miniseries that follows the grizzled elder Thor as he faces off against his trickster god brother, Loki, one last time.
