☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1989 Marvel collection brings together the complete saga of Beta Ray Bill, the alien warrior who proved worthy of Mjolnir. The story follows Thor Odinson as he faces a cosmic challenge from the cyborg equine champion, leading to battles across Asgard and encounters with Odin, Sif, Loki, and the fire demon Surtur. The volume also features supporting appearances by Nick Fury, Jasper Sitwell, and the Warriors Three, culminating in a legendary duel that redefines what it means to be worthy of the thunder god's power.
In "Doom!", Thor answers Nick Fury’s urgent call as an alien vessel approaches Earth, setting off a chain of events that awakens the powerful warrior Beta Ray Bill. When Bill proves himself a match for Thor and claims Mjolnir, he’s unwittingly pulled into Asgard by Odin—mistaking him for the real Thor. Written and illustrated by Walter Simonson, this 1989 issue captures the mythic scale and raw energy of the Asgardian saga, with Simonson’s dynamic art and bold storytelling bringing both cosmic stakes and personal tension to life. The cover by Walter Simonson perfectly frames the moment of confrontation and destiny.
