☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete 'Thor: Ragnarok' storyline from 2011, written by Matt Fraction with art by Pasqual Ferry and others. The story reimagines the classic Norse apocalypse as Thor and his fellow Asgardians face a devastating conflict with the Silver Surfer, the World Serpent Jormungand, and the forces of Hela, while Loki's schemes and the return of the Destroyer add to the chaos. It's a high-stakes saga that reshapes the status quo for Thor and the entire Asgardian pantheon.
In "The Day the Thunder Failed!", Thor’s world trembles as Odin, Sif, and Frigga return to Asgard to confront a terrifying truth: Loki has reclaimed his powers, and the prophecy of Ragnarok is now in motion. With Balder the Brave—believed invincible—suddenly felled by a weapon of dark magic, the fate of Asgard hangs in the balance. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with epic detail by John Buscema, Tom Palmer, and Bob Sharen, this pivotal issue marks a turning point in the realm’s history, with the cover by Buscema and Palmer capturing the moment’s weight.
Thor reluctantly agrees to let reporter Harris Hobbs and his film crew—camera man Roger "Red" Norvell and sound man Joey—accompany him to Asgard, but only after Loki secretly intervenes, hiding the journalists inside a high-security adamantium computer meant for transport. As the team journeys through the realms, they soon find themselves caught in a mythic storm, drawn into a long-buried legend tied to the Midgard Serpent and the ancient fury of Hymir the Giant.
In the wake of Odin’s return to Asgard, peace is shattered when Loki reclaims his magic and orchestrates a deadly betrayal—Balder the Brave, seemingly untouchable, falls to an enchanted arrow. As the prophecy of Ragnarok looms, the fate of Asgard hangs in the balance, with old allies and hidden enemies testing the limits of loyalty and power.
In the shadow of Ragnarok’s dawn, Loki’s betrayal has shattered peace, and Odin’s desperate act keeps Balder clinging to life—just beyond death’s grasp. As the world teeters on the edge of chaos, a young camera man named Roger "Red" Norvell and his sound technician Joey capture the unfolding myth, unaware they’re witnessing history through a lens meant for something far stranger. Even in the midst of divine turmoil, a fleeting presence—Thokk—hints that balance, however fragile, may still be struck.
When Roger "Red" Norvell dons Thor's belt of strength and Iron Gloves, he awakens a power that transforms him into a new Thor—strong enough to lift the mighty hammer, and reckless enough to demand Sif’s loyalty by threatening Asgard’s destruction.
When Loki faces his punishment for igniting Ragnarok, a new Thor must lead Sif to a distant realm to claim her place as queen—just as Hela and her horde of Trolls ready an assault on the rainbow bridge. Amidst the looming threat, the fate of Asgard hangs in the balance, and the Bright Elves may hold the key to survival.
In "And Now—Ragnarok!", the looming doom of Norse prophecy begins to unfold as the new Thor, convinced by Sif, joins the old Thor in a desperate stand to protect Asgard—only to pay the ultimate price. With the fate of the realm hanging in the balance and ancient forces rising, the clash between myth and destiny takes a deadly turn.
