About the series
Walter Simonson, joined by Stan Sakai, returns to his legendary Norse mythology playground for a six-issue IDW miniseries (2019–2020) that pits an aging, weary Thor against a Helheim that has broken loose upon Midgard. Simonson writes and pencils a story that feels like a natural, bittersweet coda to his classic Marvel run, while Sakai contributes art that deepens the epic, folkloric atmosphere. It’s a concise, creator-driven saga that matters for giving Simonson one more chance to explore the themes of gods, mortality, and the end of all things.
