Thor: Vikings

In 2004, Marvel and writer Garth Ennis delivered a standalone, oversized one-shot that pits the Thunder God against a resurrected band of ancient Norse raiders. With visceral, detailed artwork by Glenn Fabry, this tale strips away the cosmic grandeur for a brutal, grounded clash between Asgardian might and unyielding, blood-soaked vengeance. It's a compact, standalone epic that showcases Ennis's signature dark, gritty sensibility applied to the world of the Mighty Thor.
