“This Hammer Lost!”

In "This Hammer Lost!", Thor faces a dire challenge when Mjolnir is trapped within the heart of the planet Phantus, its time-travel abilities stripped away. With the Space Phantom to blame, Thor must decide whether to risk everything to reclaim his legendary weapon. Written by Mark Gruenwald, Ralph Macchio, Peter Gillis, and Mike Catron, with art by Keith Pollard and Pablo Marcos, and colors by Ben Sean, this issue delivers a gripping chapter in Thor’s saga. The cover by Keith Pollard, Tom Palmer, and Joe Rubinstein captures the tension perfectly.
