Immortal Thor Vol. 2: All Trials Are One - by Al Ewing (Paperback)

About the Book

"The All-Father sought answers to new troubles in memories of old. To refresh those memories, he consulted his Skald of Realms, to tell a tale of when young Thor and young Loki journeyed out beyond Asgard on a quest that would determine the fate of all the Realms! Yet the teller was the Skald, in their aspect as Thor's enemy. And thus, the tale could twist upon itself -- and if Thor faltered, it could make a new end! The Son of Odin faced three of his greatest foes in battle -- with the fog of magic closing around him. Yet even if he won, he lost -- for Thor fought not for his life, but for his death! Plus: the dawn of the Roxxon Age of Comixx, starring Chad Hammer -- secret identity of the Roxxin' Thor!"--
