Summary

The series begins in the aftermath of the Thor 2020 comic series written by Donny Cates and Torunn Grønbekk, where Thor begins his next adventure as he put his divine limits against the Gods of Utgard, his adoptive sibling Loki (who is going by the mantle of the God of Stories), the corrupt corporation of Roxxon, led by the wicked minotaur, Dario Agger, Amora The Enchantress and Skurge The Executioner. During the seventeenth issue of the comic book, Magni Thorson, the son of Thor and Amora from an alternate universe where Thor and the other Asgardians took control of Earth, is summoned to the main continuity.

Themes

Unlike The Immortal Hulk, whose themes were about body-horror, vengeance, morality and forgiveness, The Immortal Thor is a deconstruction of stories that are being told under the shadow of a large corporation. It riffs on things like the necessity of power scaling, the demand for a unified canon, and the way in which external, non-creative forces can undermine the point of a piece of art. The central theme of the comic series serves as a meta-commentary of how executive and editorial meddling through media change not just the storytelling made by writers, but also how those changes shape the fictional characters and their world.

Collected editions

The series has been collected into a number of trade paperback collections:
