An all-new story about the Mighty Thor in the celebrated Marvel Arts line, written and illustrated by Eric Powell, the five-time Eisner Award-winning, critically acclaimed creator of the bestselling comic book series The Goon

Eons ago, Odin waged war with Asgard's sister realm, Roangard, banishing it to the darkest reaches of the universe. Bound by pride and honor, Thor makes it his duty to help the people of Roangard. But when he arrives, he comes toe-to-toe with a darkness-dwelling threat, in a battle that will forever alter the fate of the realm.

In Behemoth of the Black Moon, Powell explores the darker side of Asgard's history, as the God of Thunder grapples with the demons from his father's past, and learns that not every wrong can be made right.
