The most absorbing detail from this prevue is a flashback toThor # 83 , with Thor sacrifice his eyes to achievehis final Rune King form . Michael Avon Oeming , Daniel Berman and Andrea DiVito ’s comedian follow the final cycle of Ragnarok for the Asgardian Gods , as the apocalyptic vision of the twilight of the gods and monsters of Norse mythology came true . Thor gave his all in this tale to achieve ultimate great power , and ended it by confronting Those Who Sit Above in Shadow - Elder Gods who had caused the cycle of Ragnarok so they could feed on the deaths of the Asgardian pantheon . Thor ’s Rune King form allowed him to destruct these shadowy antagonists , burning out his Divine god - level abilities and ending the retell cycle of Ragnarok forever .
cite the ' Ragnarok ' arc suggests the new Giant - Size Thor has some connexion to this epic story , in which the Norse pantheon were almost end for good . In many ways , the ' Ragnarok ' bow - part of the largerAvengers Disassembledevent - acted as adefinitive ending for Thor ’s storyup until that period . While he technically survive , it was in a new condition quo , with all the gods and even Asgard itself born-again in new chassis . Ewing’sImmortal Thorrun has engaged with some of the braggy moments of Thor ’s risible career , and now it appears that the loose remainder of ' Ragnarok ' will make the roaring God ’s late challenge . It ’s potential that the modern day Thor will somehow be facing the remnants of the ' Rune King ' he became to vary the fate of his people .
gratefully , Thor will at least have Hercules by his side as he make on the"Giant - Size Thor"and investigate its origin and powers . However , if the Giant - Size Thor is an echo ofThor ’s ascending to becoming the Rune King , even the merge might of two gods may not be enough to terminate it .
Giant - Size Thor # 1is coming August 21 from Marvel Comics .
