Thor Epic Collection #4

Thor must choose between the glory of endless battle—offered by Hela—and the burden of protecting Asgard, while Loki rules in Odin’s absence. With Ulik’s reckless act, the ancient and monstrous Mangog is unleashed, setting the stage for chaos as Asgard’s fate hangs in the balance.

Thor and Sif return to Asgard just as Loki’s machinations unfold, sending Thor and the Warriors Three—Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg—into a desperate clash with Mangog, a force of apocalyptic hunger drawn to Asgard by the Odinsword. With Ragnarok looming and the Legion of the Lost stirring in the shadows, even Odin’s wisdom may not be enough to stop the end of all things.

In the wake of chaos, Balder and the Legion of the Lost fight their way through Karnilla’s forces to join Thor in a desperate stand against the unstoppable Mangog. With Odin’s awakening mere moments from sealing the fate of Asgard, the fate of the Nine Realms hangs in the balance as ancient power stirs behind them.

In "A God Berserk!", Thor’s fierce battle for Sif’s hand against Him leaves him consumed by warrior madness—a forbidden state in Asgard. Now broken by his own rage, Thor must face Odin’s judgment, seeking redemption for a transgression that threatens the very order of the realm. As the Astrologer Royal and Karnilla watch, the weight of divine law presses down on the God of Thunder, and Balder’s quiet presence only deepens the tension.

In "This World Renounced!", Thor stands at a crossroads as Odin prepares to send him into exile—only for Loki’s treachery to shift the stakes. When Loki injures Balder on Earth, Thor is granted leave to intervene, but the journey leads to a dangerous confrontation where Thor becomes Dr. Blake, caught in a trap of his own making. With Odin watching from afar and Loki’s schemes unraveling, the fate of the realm hangs in the balance as Blake performs a desperate surgery to save Balder—while Loki faces a punishment he never expected.

Thor pilots the Odinship in a desperate hunt for Galactus, only to be captured by the cosmic entity himself, who begins to recount his ancient origin. Meanwhile, on Earth, a foreign nation unleashes the newly created Thermal Man, sending him on a destructive mission toward the United States.

In "The Awesome Answer!", Thor hears the tale of Galactus’s origin from the cosmic entity himself, a story that reshapes his understanding of power and destiny. When Odin arrives to summon him, Thor is sent to Earth, where a terrifying new threat—Thermal Man—has begun laying waste to civilization. With the fate of mankind hanging in the balance, Thor must rise to the challenge, even as the full scope of his role in this conflict remains uncertain.

Thor returns to Earth to aid the Warriors Three in facing the fiery threat of the Thermal Man, but as the battle rages, Karnilla’s hidden magic begins to weave through the clash of gods and man. With Balder watching from the shadows and Loki’s schemes stirring in the background, the line between ally and adversary blurs as ancient powers stir.

In "Ulik Unleashed!", the mighty Thor finds himself entangled with the Ringmaster’s Circus of Crime, where chaos reigns and the villainous Ulik stirs trouble. When the circus’s dark ambitions collide with Thor’s strength, a brutal clash erupts—only for the God of Thunder to stand firm against both Ulik and the Ringmaster’s sinister plot to steal a top-secret government computer.

In "The Carnage of the Crypto Man!", Thor faces off against the rogue scientist Jasper Whyte and his mechanized creation, the Crypto-Man, after Whyte steals Thor’s powers and arms the robot with a city-destroying bomb. As the battle rages through New York, Thor uses a personal memory to reach Whyte, forcing him to confront the cost of his actions—before the scientist makes a final, irreversible choice.
