Giant-Size Thor #1

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Marvel's Giant-Size format, this oversized one-shot puts Thor front and center — winged helmet gleaming, Mjolnir raised high — as he clashes alongside a bare-chested, bearded warrior wielding a golden mace against a crowd of armored adversaries snarling below them. Bryan Hitch's cover crackles with kinetic energy, packing the image with combatants and raw mythic muscle. With Al Ewing, writer Bob Harras, and artist Jackson Guice contributing to "In Medias Res," this is a fitting grand-scale tribute to a beloved Marvel publishing tradition.
