☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Strangers on an Astral Plane," Thor faces a shocking revelation when Odin reveals he plans to replace him with Red Norvell—once before a false Thor—after Thor defies him to uncover the truth about Don Blake. As the two Thors clash across the realms, shaking Asgard itself, the weight of legacy and deception comes to a head. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life by M. C. Wyman with inks by Mike DeCarlo, colors by Ovi, and letters by Phil Felix, this epic tale unfolds with emotional intensity and mythic stakes. The cover by Sandu Florea and Charles Barnett III captures the cosmic tension of the confrontation.
Thor and Thunderstrike face off against the reanimated Destroyer, its movements now twisted by the lingering essence of Don Blake, as the battle rages across the realm. Meanwhile, in Asgard, Odin prepares a revelation for Thor’s closest allies—those who have stood by him through fire and storm.
In "Come the Lightning!", Thor faces a storm of doubt and betrayal when he confronts Odin to uncover the truth about Don Blake—only to discover his father has chosen Red Norvell to take his place. With Asgard trembling beneath their clash, Thor must fight not only his rival but the weight of his own legacy, as the past and present collide in a battle that will test everything he believes.
In "This Mortal Coil," Thor confronts a long-buried truth when Odin reveals that his time on Earth was no accident—Don Blake wasn’t just a disguise, but a real man whose life was woven into Thor’s own. As the weight of that revelation settles, the past begins to unravel, bringing echoes of lost memories and forgotten bonds from Asgard’s shadowed halls.
In "Chapter 3: The Dark at the Top of the Stars," Thor finds himself torn between loyalty and suspicion as a sudden explosion aboard their ship splits the crew into two modules, forcing a desperate escape through the void. With Don Blake in agony and the threat of the New Immortals looming, Thor must navigate the growing tension among his allies—especially as the High Evolutionary and the Godpack enter the fray—while the true nature of the betrayal remains hidden in the dark.
In "Chapter 4: All the Gods at Once," Thor finds himself caught between the shifting loyalties of the Godpack and the cunning schemes of Count Tagar, as the fate of the escape modules hangs in the balance. When Jane Foster begins to question the true identity of Don Blake, Thor must step forward—not just as a warrior, but as a god facing forces that test his strength and resolve.
In "Chapter 5: While Mephisto's Away...", Thor wages a fierce battle against Mephisto’s demonic forces to free Loki, who’s been captured and held in a twisted realm. As the god of thunder pushes through the infernal onslaught, he urges Loki to stand with him against the greater threat of Nobilus and the New Immortals—but the trickster demands his own conditions before he’ll commit.
In "Chapter 6: The Enemy Within," Thor finds himself at the heart of a shifting battlefield, where loyalty is as fragile as the sky above. With the New Immortals fractured and Luminor's true allegiance exposed, the arrival of Loki and the High Evolutionary's allies throws the conflict into chaos. As old debts surface and alliances blur, Thor must confront the weight of a past pact that now threatens to unravel everything.
