The glory of Asgard begins anew! Thor and the Asgardians recently perished, swallowed up by Ragnarok.

Awoken from the slumber of death, Thor 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 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 and #600, and material from DARK REIGN: THE CABAL ONE-SHOT.

About the Author
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.

Artist Olivier Coipel caught the eyes of Avengers fans with his work in a series of startlingly fresh and exciting stories in 2004, then delivered a star turn on the 2005 blockbuster limited series House of M. Proving his mettle with the grand splendor and huge cast of a Marvel epic, he earned the plum assignment of restoring the hallowed halls of Asgard to grandeur in J. Michael Straczynski's Thor. Again called on to illustrate a Marvel mega-event, Coipel reunited with House of M writer Brian Michael Bendis on Siege. His subsequent credits include returns to the world of the Thunder God, as well as contributions to Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men and Avengers vs. X-Men.
