Alongside allies like Balder and Sif, Masterson confronts a new threat that tests his identity and legacy separate from Thor Odinson. The story explores the burden of power and the struggle to forge one's own heroic path outside the shadow of the God of Thunder.
In "The Fateful Decision!", Eric Masterson steps back into the role of Thor on Earth, grappling with the weight of mortality now that the true Thor has returned to Asgard. With Sif's unexpected visit to the Avengers Mansion stirring confusion and danger, Eric finds himself caught in a web of deception as he's sent to Asgard on a mission that tests his resolve and loyalty. Written by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, with art by Ron Frenz and inks by Al Milgrom, this issue blends personal doubt with high-stakes action, all wrapped in a cover by Ron Frenz and Al Milgrom.
In "Requiem for the Wrecker!", Thor [Eric Masterson] faces a desperate race against time when Loki's cohorts abduct his son, Kevin Masterson, to lure him into a trap. As Loki siphons the Wrecker’s Asgardian power, Thor must confront Ulik in a brutal clash—while grappling with the echoes of a past that may be unraveling.
In "Whosoever Holds This Hammer," Eric Masterson steps into the role of Thor, grappling with the weight of godhood without the old god’s guidance. As Ulik wages war against both Thor and Code Blue, the line between hero and threat blurs in a clash of power and loyalty.
In a world where the true Thor reigns in Asgard, Eric Masterson returns to Earth as the god of thunder, grappling with the weight of mortality and the legacy of his role. When a mysterious threat emerges and the Enchantress manipulates events from the shadows, Eric seeks guidance from the Avengers—only to find himself caught in a web of deception, where even the closest allies may not be who they seem.
In "What Price Victory?", Eric Masterson and Thor clash in a battle that tests their strength and resolve, forcing them to confront the cost of power. As their fight reaches its peak, both men find their clarity—and with it, a new path for Eric, as Odin reclaims his legacy and transforms him into Thunderstrike.
