Immortal Thor#12– Written By Al Ewing; Art By Valantina Pinti, Color By Matthew Wilson; Lettering By Joe Sabino
Buri embodies the thought of being the Asgardian All - Father like no other God , which fit perfectly with his full coming into court inImmortal Thor#12 .
Buri was been mentioned several times in Marvel canon as the first ‘ real ’ Asgardian god , but did n’t appear to the full untilThor ( Vol . 1 ) # 355 , where he met his expectant - grandson in the guise of the magician ‘ Tiwaz ’ . In the issue , Buri nursed Thor back to wellness without ever revealing his true identity , and the God of Thunder never learned the truth – untilImmortal Thor # 12 . One of thebrilliant thing about Marvel ’s Norse mythologyis thatsomeone as theoretically important as Buri can go unseen for decades , before returning in an unexpectedly life-sustaining role .
Buri ’s latest show was presage inImmortal Thor#7 , which deals with the ‘ Utgard - Gods ’ , the beings who first embodied different godly archetypes . Toranos , villain of the series ’ first arc , is the Utgard - Thor , the first ever God of Thunder , and Buri was shown in#7to be the Utgard - Odin . This means that Buri embodies the idea of being the Asgardian All - Father like no other God , which fits perfectly with his full coming into court inImmortal Thor#12 . Like Odin , Buri is wise but obstinate . He ’s all - powerful but , like the mythological Odin , often hides behind the façade of an old man .
Even One Of Marvel’s Oldest Heroes Still Has Lessons To Learn
Thor (Vol. 1)#355 – Written By Walt Simonson; Art By Sal Buscema, Color By Christie Scheele; Lettering by John Workman Jr.
[ InImmortal Thor ] Thor has perpetually had to imbibe upon the wisdom expected of the All - Father to kill his foes , and Buri is only the latest ‘ foeman ’ who ca n’t be defeated with strength alone .
The divergence is that Buri seems to recognize his part . He perform the bit of the All - Father with almost a wink and a nod . Writer Al Ewing has constantly emphasized that the gods are ‘ creatures of story ’ , and Buri is following a well - worn hand here . Buri ’s test is powerful out of the complex body part of mythology . His challenge is n’t just a test , it ’s an archetypal parable with a moral lesson bind . He could just give Thor the rune , but that would n’t be in the nature of the floor that he ’s made of .
The test also fit out neatly with one of the other key radical ofImmortal Thor : soundness . From Loki trapping Thor on a free planet inImmortal Thor#3 to the frustration of Toranos inImmortal Thor # 5 , Thor has constantly had to pull out upon the Wisdom of Solomon expected of the All - Father to vote down his enemy , and Buri is only the up-to-the-minute ‘ foe ’ who ca n’t be defeat with strength alone . Buri departsImmortal Thor#12 reemphasizing this , and asThorheads towards prophesied doom , it will undoubtedly be this wisdom that will finally see himwin the day once again .
