The Quest for Thor Begins in an Oversized ‘Mortal Thor’ #800
Marvel announced Mortal Thor #14 (LGY #800), an oversized anniversary issue from writer Al Ewing and artist Pasqual Ferry. With no powers, no enchanted hammer, and the fate of the Ten Realms at stake, Sigurd Jarlson faces the Serpent's most punishing trial yet. The issue serves as a major turning point in Ewing's ongoing Thor saga. The anniversary issue also includes additional stories from writer Chris Condon and artist Jesse Lonergan, and fan-favorite Thor and Journey Into Mystery writer Kieron Gillen.
Here's the full synopsis provided by the publisher:
"AN ASGARDIAN MILESTONE: THOR #800! The Serpent has trapped Sigurd Jarlson in the worst of all possible worlds for his greatest trial. Now, without even a weapon in his hand, he must prove himself worthy to enter the Realms of the Gods. Somewhere in the city, a man without even a hammer begins the ultimate quest...the quest for Thor!"
"Issue #800 wraps up some long-running plotlines that have plagued Thor since before his death, but it also sets Sigurd Jarlson on a quest that will send him through the realms of myth to an Asgard that's never needed a Thor more than now," said Ewing. "Sigurd is still without any powers beyond his own courage, wits, and willpower. Can a mortal face the trials of the gods, save ten worlds, and bring the Thunder God back to the people who need him? I couldn't ask for a better artist than Pasqual Ferry to help tell this story, and I hope you all enjoy the ride we've got planned for you. #800 is only the beginning!"
Mortal Thor #14 (LGY #800) is on sale August 19 with a main cover is by Alex Ross and variant and virgin variant covers by Ryan Stegman.
