☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the early chapters of the classic storyline that pitted Thor against the cosmic Eternals, drawn from issues of The Mighty Thor and The Avengers. It reprints the initial clash between the Asgardian thunder god and the god-like Eternals, setting the stage for a sprawling epic that would redefine both mythologies within the Marvel Universe.
In "And Ever—the Eternals!", Thor grapples with long-buried truths as he confronts Odin over the deception of a false Ragnarok, the mystery of his mother’s identity, and Odin’s hidden knowledge of the Celestials—answers the All-Father refuses to give. Flying to Peru, Thor uncovers the arrival of a new Celestial host, setting the stage for a cosmic revelation. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with epic flair by John Buscema and Chic Stone, with colors by George Roussos and letters by Joe Rosen, the issue’s cover by Walter Simonson captures the weight of the moment.
Thor races to Peru, chasing whispers of a new Celestial host, only to find himself face-to-face with Gammenon—the ancient, alien force that has long shaped the fate of gods and mortals alike. With Odin’s silence echoing behind him and the weight of forgotten truths pressing down, Thor must confront a being whose arrival could unravel the world once more.
Thor teams up with Sersi and the rogue Mutate Karkas to infiltrate a hidden Deviant city, racing against time to rescue Ikaris, Thena, and Margo Damian before the Deviants’ dark plans unfold. With the mysterious Mr. Johnson in tow and ancient secrets stirring beneath the surface, the line between ally and enemy blurs in this high-stakes clash of gods, mutants, and long-forgotten foes.
Thor and the Eternals arrive in Olympia, drawn by a cosmic summons, only to find themselves at the center of a celestial reckoning. As the Forgotten One delivers a dire warning from the Celestials, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance—unseen forces stir, and the line between protector and destroyer blurs.
In "Fury of the Forgotten Hero!", Thor confronts the ancient and vengeful Forgotten One aboard the massive vessel of a Celestial, only to face an even greater threat when the Celestial known as The One Above All reveals a haunting vision of Odin’s past submission. With allies like Mimir, Karnilla, and the Warriors Three at his side—and the echoes of ancient Eternals and storm giants looming—Thor must answer a call from beyond time, where myth and cosmic destiny collide.
In "Look Homeward, Asgardian!", Thor races against time to prevent the Celestials from unleashing their wrath, only to find the gates of Asgard closed to him—his own people, led by Odin and Heimdall, standing firm on the Rainbow Bridge to keep him from returning. With the fate of worlds hanging in the balance, Thor must confront the cost of loyalty as the Eternals, the Forgotten One, and even the gods of Olympus watch from the shadows, unsure if he can save Asgard—or if it’s already too late.
Thor’s journey to the realm of the Eternals takes a wild detour when he intercepts the masked Eternal Vampiro above Hollywood, battered and bruised after a brutal clash with the Deviant El Toro Rojo—another masked combatant, playing a dangerous game of deception in the spotlight. With the city’s energy crackling and the stakes rising, Thor must navigate a surreal showdown where fame, identity, and ancient enmity collide.
In "When Gods Have Joined Together!", the Eternals—Zuras, Ikaris, Thena, Sersi, Sprite, Makkari, Valkin, and the Forgotten One—unite as the Uni-Mind in a desperate bid to confront the Celestials, only to be interrupted by a sudden, overwhelming assault from the Greek pantheon. Led by Zeus and joined by Odin, the Young Gods, Hercules, Ares, Mercury, and Athena, the divine forces descend upon the Eternals’ city, forcing the ancient beings to abandon their cosmic plan and defend their home.
