At the end of CIVIL WAR II Ulysses had a series of visions teasing multiple upcoming marvel events like IvX and monsters unleashed, but the one thats catching everybodies attention is the image above which shows a now Worthy Thor getting ready to battle Loki wielding All-Black the Necrosword!
Whats so exciting about this? Well unless youve been hiding under a rock for the past few years or arent a nerd (why are you on this site?) you probably know that Thor became unworthy and Jane foster became "Thor". Needless to say most Thor fans hated this as well as the subsequent changes to Asgard and the beloved Thor mythos. Many fans have rejected this new take on asgard and have been waiting forever for Thor to become worthy again, in the mean time reading only thor comics from before the Fem-Thor madness which leads me to the second reason everyone is so hyped... the Necrosword.
The god of thunder comic arc is considered the last great thor comic arc and was, ironically, the first thor arc written by Jason Aaron who created Fem-Thor. In the arc we are introduced to a brand new Thor villain called Gorr the god butcher, a mortal alien from a barren world abandoned by its gods. Gorr tragically loses his family to starvation and denies the gods, then one day two deities fall from heaven, one holding the Necrosword, a weapon old as galactus and made to kill gods. Gorr kills the gods, takes the sword and thus begins an epic saga featuring Thor's, time travel, alien gods and a final stand for all divinity in the marvel universe. In the above image it appears Aaron is finally bringing his story full circle, what began on the distant alien world of Indiggar seems to finally be coming to a conclusion and i for one am excited beyond belief.
How Thor becomes Worthy again, how Loki obtains or is possessed by the necrosword and what if any involvement Gorr has in the story is still unknown, but i and many Thor fans out there cant wait to find out.
