War of the Realms Prelude

Walter Simonson, the legendary creator who defined Thor's cosmic mythology in the 1980s, returns to Marvel for a single-issue 2019 prelude that sets the stage for the War of the Realms event. Simonson both writes and illustrates this standalone story, reconnecting threads from his celebrated run while introducing the brewing conflict across the Ten Realms. As a bridge between his classic work and the modern event, this issue serves as both a nostalgic callback for longtime fans and a necessary primer for newcomers.
