Mighty Marvel Masterworks: Thor #2

In "The Return of Zarrko, the Tomorrow Man!", Loki manipulates Odin into stripping Thor of his power as punishment for loving Jane Foster, then revives the memory of the time-traveling Zarrko, the Tomorrow Man. With a fearsome robot at his command, Zarrko challenges Thor, and when the god of thunder proves unable to stop him, he's drawn into a dangerous alliance to conquer the 23rd century.

In "The Invasion of Asgard!", Loki exploits a weakness in Asgard’s defenses, luring Thor into a trap where he must stand alone against a sudden assault. With the realm under siege, Thor fights to hold the line, determined to protect Asgard until reinforcements can reach him.

In "The Enchantress and the Executioner!", Loki and Odin orchestrate a scheme to break Thor’s bond with Jane Foster by sending the Enchantress to win his heart—only for the bumbling Executioner to ruin the plan with his blunt tactics. The clash of cunning and clumsiness sets off a chain of events that tests Thor’s loyalty in ways neither god nor warrior anticipated.

In "Giants Walk the Earth!", Odin arrives on Earth to settle the matter of Thor’s love for Jane Foster, but his presence stirs ancient forces. With Loki’s meddling, the Storm Giant Skagg and the fire giant Surtur are unleashed, threatening both Asgard and Earth. Thor, Balder, and Odin must stand together to face the giants before their power consumes all.

In "The Cobra and Mr. Hyde!", two of Thor's most dangerous foes unite in a dangerous alliance, tracking the god of thunder to Dr. Blake's office with a ruthless plan. When Blake is forced to aid them, the tables turn in a shocking twist that puts the hero's strength to the ultimate test.

In "The Thunder God Strikes Back!", Thor races to reclaim his stolen cane while evading a cadre of villains, only to transform back into Dr. Blake and play a dangerous game of deception to regain it. As he reclaims his power and faces off against the Cobra, the true threat of Hyde looms, testing both his strength and the trust of those around him. When the dust settles, Blake returns to his office to face a new challenge—Jane’s growing resentment over his actions.

In "Balder 'The Brave'," Odin commands the execution of his son Balder for abandoning the battlefield to save a fallen bird, but the god’s profound kindness has earned the loyalty of the natural world—every creature and plant shields him from harm. Though the king of Asgard seeks to punish him, Balder’s unwavering compassion proves too great to overcome, and Odin is forced to grant him an invincibility no weapon can break.

When the Grey Gargoyle Strikes! sees a scientist transformed by accident into a living statue, wielding the power to petrify others at will. Driven by a desperate quest for immortality, he targets Thor in New York, only to be outwitted by Don Blake, who uses cunning over strength to turn the tide.

In "Balder Must Die!", Loki's obsession with chaos leads him to the Norn Queen, desperate to learn Balder’s one vulnerability—mistletoe. With a mistletoe dart in hand, he aims to end the beloved god, but the Norn Queen intervenes before the deed is done.

In "At the Mercy of Loki, Prince of Evil!", Thor races to aid Doctor Strange after a devastating mystical assault leaves the sorcerer near death. When Loki exploits a rift between Thor and Odin to descend to Earth, he kidnaps Jane Foster, forcing the God of Thunder into a desperate pursuit. With Strange’s magic and Thor’s might tested like never before, the battle for Jane’s freedom begins.

In "Trapped by the Trolls!", Thor finds himself sold into slavery by the cunning king of the dwarfs, only to awaken his strength and turn the tide against the trolls’ grim mine. With the fate of captive beings hanging in the balance, Thor’s fury ignites a fight for freedom in the deepest caverns beneath the earth.

When Magneto Strikes! kicks off with the mutant mastermind testing his powers in the city, drawing the attention of Thor himself. Their clash unfolds aboard Magneto’s submerged vessel, while the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants scours the area for the X-Men. As Magneto escapes in his craft, the X-Men’s submarine is seen in pursuit, leaving the fate of the chase unresolved. Back on land, Thor reverts to Don Blake, shares a quiet moment with Jane Foster, and enjoys a simple snack and a glass of milk.
