Thor: Worthy Origins

In this 2017 Marvel one-shot, writer Lilah Sturges and artist Pepe Larraz take a closer look at the moment Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, first deemed him worthy. Rather than a standard origin, the story weaves a quiet, character-driven flashback that explores the weight of that divine approval and the doubts that preceded it. It’s a thoughtful, self-contained meditation on what it truly means to earn the power of a god.
