“What Price Victory?”

In "What Price Victory?", Eric Masterson faces a defining moment as he and Thor clash in a battle that tests more than just strength. After the fight, Eric chooses to step down from the mantle of Thor, leading to a pivotal transformation arranged by Odin—setting the stage for his new role as Thunderstrike. Written by Ron Frenz and Tom DeFalco, with art by Ron Frenz and inks by Al Milgrom, this 1993 issue captures a turning point in the character's journey, all framed by a striking cover by Frenz and Milgrom.
