Collects Thor (1966) #292-301. The war between gods and Eternals may be over, but Thor's still left to face the Fourth Celestial Host - along with the fearsome Fafnir, the devastating Destroyer and, as ever, the larcenous Loki!

For years, Thor lived on Earth as protector, champion and Avenger - endearing himself to the entire world. Having lived a mortal's life, Earth's well-being was of paramount importance to the Asgardian God of Thunder. His ascension to the throne interfered with that mission. Asgard's interests forced Thor to ignore Earth. So wielding a power only the greatest of gods might possess, Asgard's liege transported his realm to the skies above Manhattan, the better to guide and protect the whole of humanity. Now, see how the Thunder God's presence on Earth affects the lives of people both ordinary and extraordinary and not for the better. Collecting THOR (1998) #59-67 and material from MARVEL DOUBLE-SHOT #1.

Rob Rodi and his incredible artistic collaborators present their epic take on Thor and his world - and Asgard has rarely been this astonishing! There are two sides to every story. You've heard Thor's, now it's time to hear Loki's, as Odin's least favorite son rewrites Asgardian lore from his own twisted perspective! When Odin leaves Thor in charge of Asgard, the Thunder God is assailed from all sides - with his kingdom on the brink of collapse, is Ragnarok inevitable? It's battle on a cosmic scale when Thor is caught between Ego, the Living Planet...and the odious orb's long-lost brother! And when villainess Ereshkigal fi nds a weapon capable of dissolving all reality, Thor stands alone against the entire Deviant race!
