Thor #14 is in stores tomorrow. It is a very symbiote heavy issue and keys in to what Jason Aaron and Donny Cates have both worked on in the recent past. Check out the spoilers below:

It was a strange read since I read it after WOTR #6. There’s some Goonam in it (Ball of goo Venom without a host body) but it’s a story about an unhappy boy and how he finally becomes worthy to pick up the hammer for the 1st time which he does in the issue. Still feels weird seeing him standing around with Female Thor and the others that don’t get introduced until WOTR6 so it just has a funky side feel read vibe to it. I haven’t clicked all the images yet to see if any of those pages made the preview.
No, you caught the Goonam visuals with the scans but missed the point of the story.
I try to spoil without giving the bigger picture sometimes. Some minor plot threads can get dropped as I am reading 100 comics in the coarse of an hour to two.
I’m thinking if there’s anything spec at all in the book it has to be Thor becoming worthy to pick up the hammer for the first time. That should be a big deal in the long term cannon.
I’m confused. I’m not a Thor reader but I thought he picked up the hammer about 50 years ago. Was he not worthy until today?
Forgive me for my ignorance on this.
WOTR6 and Thor 14 are time travel assembled team of Thor’s from across the ages since only Thor could cross the barrier to save his parents so multiple Thor’s are assembled from all over the timestream and even Jane Foster so there would be a herd of Thor’s for the final battle and not just one. The assembled Thor Corp including Bitchy young Thor of the Vikings (with the axe) who wasn’t worthy yet and pissed about it. This is his coming of age and becoming worthy story. Apparently he grows up, gets really old to have grandchildren also in the issue. (I’m guessing the Thor from the 90’s Guardians of the Galaxy series would have to be their father.) WOTR6 also explains why he becomes one-eyed.
Hold on, the grandchildren may have been in WOTR6. The two books basically are taking place in the same time period.
It’s starting to feel like Marvel’s new pose for the year is fist in the air. How many is that this year between all the gloves, hammers and gauntlets?
