The Mortal Thor #13
(W) Al Ewing (A) Juann Cabal
A FINAL TALE OF… ASGARD? Wreathed in sorrow, chained by his mother’s schemes, Magni accepted the weight of the throne of Asgard. As the forces of doom and death gathered about him, could he escape his destiny… or would his fall bring on a new Ragnarok? This is the story of the SON OF THOR… and the fate of a Golden Realm.
This August, the God of Thunder hits a milestone when Thor #800 comes to shelves. The anniversary issue continues the adventure that Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry have been weaving in Mortal Thor, but also anniversary stories from writer Chris Condon and artist Jesse Lonergan, plus the return of fan-favorite Thor and Journey Into Mystery scribe Kieron Gillen.
At the end of Ewing’s Immortal Thor, the God of Thunder met his fate and died as a sacrifice to power a spell by his sibling Loki. This spell saw Thor forgotten by those who knew him and the rest of the Asgardians seemingly forever severed from the realm of Midgard. But the story continued in Mortal Thor, as a new hero rose on the streets of New York City, a hero with no powers, just a determination to right wrongs—with a hammer. Seeking a normal life but forced to step into the fray, Sigurd Jarlson found himself beset by threats from Thor’s past including the vicious Donald Blake, aka The Serpent, and Mr. Hyde. Sigurd’s encounters with these villains have led him closer to uncovering the mystery tying him to the missing Asgardian God of Thunder, with a pivotal moment set to take place in August’s issue of Mortal Thor.
The Serpent has trapped Sigurd Jarlson in the worst of all possible worlds for his greatest trial. Now, without even a weapon in his hand, he must prove himself worthy to enter the Realms of the Gods. Somewhere in the city, a man without even a hammer begins the ultimate quest…the quest for Thor!
We have an exclusive look at four pages from the main story by Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry and one page from one of the issue’s anniversary backup stories by Chris Condon and Jesse Lonergan!

In a world without a God of Thunder, lightning still strikes! This August, writer Al Ewing and artist Pasqual Ferry celebrate 800 issues of Thor with a special anniversary issue that pits Sigurd Jarlson, the Mortal Thor, up against The Serpent’s most heinous test yet. With the fate of the Ten Realms hanging in the balance and no superpowers or enchanted hammers to wield, Sigurd’s quest to prove himself worthy and restore life to the forgotten god of Asgard will set the stage for the third act of Ewing’s mythos-shaking THOR saga.
At the end of Ewing’s Immortal Thor, the God of Thunder met his fate and died as a sacrifice to power a spell by his sibling Loki. This spell saw Thor forgotten by those who knew him and the rest of the Asgardians seemingly forever severed from the realm of Midgard. But the story continued in Mortal Thor, as a new hero rose on the streets of New York City, a hero with no powers, just a determination to right wrongs—with a hammer. Seeking a normal life but forced to step into the fray, Sigurd Jarlson found himself beset by threats from Thor’s past including the vicious Donald Blake, aka The Serpent, and Mr. Hyde. Sigurd’s encounters with these villains have led him closer to uncovering the mystery tying him to the missing Asgardian God of Thunder, with a pivotal moment set to take place in August’s issue of Mortal Thor.
Mortal Thor #14/LGY #800 will also include anniversary stories from rising star writer Chris Condon and artist Jesse Lonergan, plus the return of fan-favorite Thor and Journey Into Mystery scribe Kieron Gillen.
