Thor is forgotten and mortal in Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry’s new Mortal Thor series.
A continuation of the just finished Immortal Thor series, after Thor’s defeat of the Gods of Utgard, Thor is “slain” by Loki and assumes his previous alter-ego of construction worker Sigurd Jarlson.
“Now that Immortal Thor #25 is on the stands for you to read – and please do – we can be a little more open about the exact nature of the second act of the story,” Ewing said. “This was an idea that sprang into being from the original pitch; I wanted to treat Thor as a God, and give him a truly mythological story… but as well as the son of Odin, he’s the son of Gaea. So we find ourselves in winter. Thor is dead, and Sigurd Jarlson walks the earth – without power, without fame, without memory. And yet the fate of Asgard and Midgard rests on this mortal man making the journey to return the magic of the Gods to the Earth. And to get there – to even learn the nature of the quest – he’s going to have to fight.”
