THOR #8 is a rare treat with its Marko Djurdjevic cover and 23 pages of  Djurdjevic story art.
J. Michael Straczynski provides a script that shows the extremes that Djurdjevic can convincingly portray,

from a Odin/Thor/Surtur battle in a Hellish Realm,
to quiet moments in a hospital with a tragic cancer patient.
