All bets are off as the curtain falls - will friendly faces and a new, long-lost ally make all the difference for Thor? What are Loki's treacherous plans for the Asgardians in their new home of Latveria...and does the scheming Dr. Doom have an agenda of Doom's own? How will the humble, Earth-born Bill aid Balder, Asgard's rightful ruler...and at what cost? You won't want to miss this landmark issue of the critically acclaimed, mega-hit, Eisner-nominated THOR!

BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS
With this Finale issue, Straczynski completes his assignment in remaking Thor. Ragnarok is done-gone, has been for long time, and Asgard needs direction. So Straczynski boldly brings in heavy weights Loki and Doctor Doom to create an evil plan, one that chills and is truly diabolical, and may take years to complete. Coupled with the lost love idea, this issue scores big. Only downside, for me, is the continued inclusion of Don Blake, who is still two-dimensional after decades of appearances. Despite that, this issues scorches, and I can’t wait to see Thor’s future. Thanks, Straczynski.
