Thor #609

Tied to Marvel's sweeping 2010 Siege crossover event, Thor #609 brings "Siege: Ragnarok Part 3" to a fever pitch with a cover by Mico Suayan depicting Thor leading a desperate charge through smoldering rubble — a large warrior in pink armor and a red-bearded fighter among the battered Asgardians surging forward behind him. The orange-scorched skyline looming in the background, with Asgard itself crumbling above them, sets a tone of all-out warfare that writer Kieron Gillen and artists Billy Tan and Rich Elson carry into the interior pages. If you're following the fall of Asgard, this issue belongs in your collection.
