Marvel Announces THE MIGHTY THOR By Fraction & Coipel

Prepare yourselves for a new Asgardian age with The Mighty Thor #1! In
this all new ongoing series, from the superstar creative team of Matt
Fraction and Olivier Coipel, Thor must defend his homeworld of Asgard
from Galactus! When Thor and Sif retrieve an artifact from deep within
the World Tree, nobody expected the Silver Surfer to show up. And where
the Sentinel of the Spaceways travels, Galactus is sure to follow! It's
the World Eater vs. Asgard in the explosive opening arc that's great for
new readers! No fan can miss this monumental new series that will
redefine what it means to be the Odinson!

"The God of Thunder ain't never been mightier than now!" exclaims writer
Matt Fraction. "Everything is going beyond-epic in The Mighty Thor and I
couldn't be more thrilled to have Olivier onboard for the book's maiden
voyage. Look up - think big - fight hard!"

"It's a really exciting time to be working on Thor. A lot of things that
have been developing over the last few months are about to come to
fruition in a big way-and in a way that's going to affect not only all
of Asgard, but all of the Marvel U," said Marvel Editor Charlie
Beckerman. "With the release of Marvel Studios' Thor this May, we wanted
to be sure that we pulled out all the big guns. And I'm talking
talent-Matt, Olivier, Mark and Laura-and I'm talking characters: I can't
say exactly who's going to show up, but I will say that it will knock
your socks clear off."

The fate of the golden city of Asgard, the wonder of the nine realms,
hangs in the balance and only Thor can ensure the survival of the
Asgardians! What does the World Eater seek and what terrible outcome
awaits the Mighty Avenger? Discover the answers you seek as Fraction and
Coipel pull out all the stops in The Mighty Thor!
