Witness the might of Thor in a story only J. Michael Straczynski could tell! The glory of Asgard begins anew! Thor and the Asgardians recently perished, swallowed up by Ragnarok. But when Mjolnir crash-lands in Oklahoma, the hammer attracts the attention of the Fantastic Four...and Doctor Doom! Thor has awoken from the slumber of death. Now, he must reckon with the mythic Norse kingdom's legacy and the awakening of its immortal heroes - but in a world that may not want them back! Thor is determined that the Asgardian cycle of life must begin again, even for his brother Loki. But the Trickster comes back as...Thor's sister! Loki has returned with a sense of purpose, seeking a fresh start to write her story anew - but her scheming remains unchanged, and that can only be a bad thing for Asgard! COLLECTING- Fantastic Four (1998) 536-537; Thor (2007) 1-12, 600; material from Dark Reign- the Cabal (2009) 1
Writer J. Michael Straczynski made pop-culture history with the epic TV series Babylon 5. In 1999, Straczynski penned Top Cow's Rising Stars, leading to an offer from Marvel to write Amazing Spider-Man, a title he revolutionized. "JMS" went on to write Supreme Power, Fantastic Four, Bullet Points, The Twelve and a fan-favorite revival of Thor. The latter helped inspire Marvel's Thor feature film, on which he shares a writing credit. JMS' screenplay for Changeling was directed by Clint Eastwood and starred Angelina Jolie, while his other movie credits include Underworld- Awakening and World War Z. For DC Comics, he has written iconic characters Superman and Wonder Woman.
