Thor undergoes the same direction taken in the mid-2000s
Comic Book Movie says Marvel's repeating the same momentary demise premise that was written up in the mid-2000s, when Thor and several other pagan deities were put in the grave briefly as Dan Jurgens was concluding his 1998-2004 run, and then they were resurrected when J. Michael Straczynski began his short but quite dreadful run:
Next month, Immortal Thor #23 by writer Al Ewing and artist Jan Bazaldua marks the beginning of Thor Odinson's last stand. A saga that's been building since Ewing started his acclaimed run on the series, this new arc finds Thor alone against the fury of the malevolent Gods of Utgard.Whether Thor is revived or not, woke writer Ewing's helming is reason enough to avoid it. Why should we even be told a premise like this, which has long been little more than tabloid trash? They're just irritating purist fans with another example of desecrating Stan Lee's legacy for the sake of profiteering at the expense of all that was once great about Lee's writings in his time.
The omens can no longer be denied. The prophecy can no longer be delayed. The hour has come for the God of Thunder's demise!
The story concludes in Immortal Thor #25, on sale in July, featuring Justin Greenwood's art in his Marvel Comics debut. However, death means very little in the world of comic books, and the Marvel Comics press release confirms that we should "stay tuned on the months ahead" to learn about the next chapter of Ewing's run.
