Thor: The Trial of Thor

In a single oversized issue from 2017, Marvel’s Thor: The Trial of Thor sees writer/artist Alan Davis craft a self-contained story that puts the God of Thunder through a cosmic judgment. Published as a one-shot, this entry in the Thor mythos explores the character’s heroism and worthiness through a trial overseen by the enigmatic Tribunal of the Heavens. Davis’s lush, dynamic art and narrative control make this a distinctive, focused chapter in the broader saga of Asgard’s mightiest son.
