“At Long Last--Ragnarok?!”

In "At Long Last—Ragnarok?!", the fate of Asgard hangs in the balance as the long-foretold prophecies of Ragnarok begin to unfold. With Sif urging him to act, the new Thor answers the call—only to face a cost that will echo through the realms. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Chic Stone, with colors by Glynis Wein and lettering by Joe Rosen, this pivotal issue sees the old and new Thor stand together in a moment that could change everything. The cover, penciled by John Buscema and inked by Bob McLeod, captures the storm of destiny approaching.
