Thor #48 (550)

In "By Fire Born: Part III of V," Thor faces a desperate crossroads as he leaves the ongoing war with the Frost Giants to rush to Midgard, where a different Thor—Jake Olsen—struggles to hold the line against the Grey Gargoyle and the enigmatic Desak. Dan Jurgens crafts a high-stakes tale of identity and duty, with Joe Bennett’s dynamic art and Tom Palmer’s inks bringing the clash of gods and mortals to life. The cover by Tom Raney and Scott Hanna captures the moment’s intensity, a striking image of thunder and shadow.
