Astonishing Thor #[nn]

In "Part 1" of this 2012 Astonishing Thor story, Thor faces a twisted new threat when the Stranger intervenes to save him from the deranged planet Alter Ego—only for the planet to fixate on destroying Thor’s brother, Ego. As the cosmic conflict unfolds, Zaphyr shares her haunting past with the Collector, revealing a connection to Thor that hints at deeper mysteries. Written by Robert Rodi and illustrated by Mike Choi, with colors by Frank D'Armata and letters by VC's Joe Caramagna, the issue’s cover by Mike Choi captures the storm of celestial tension.
