NEW THOR IN YOUR LCS TOMORROW

HEROES REBORN #1 $5.99 

(W) Jason Aaron (A) Ed McGuinness (CA) Leinil Francis Yu

      Welcome to a world where Thor is a hard-drinking atheist who despises hammers. Where Tony Stark never built an Iron Man armor. Where Wakanda is dismissed as a myth. And where Captain America was never found in the ice because there were no Avengers. Instead this world has always been protected by the Squadron Supreme of America. And now the Squadron faces an attack from some of their fiercest enemies, like Dr. Juggernaut, the Black Skull, the Silver Witch and Thanos with his Infinity Rings. Why is the Daywalker Blade the one man who seems to remember that the entire world has somehow been...reborn?

(W) Al Ewing (A) Joe Bennett (CA) Alex Ross

   We thought they were dead. We thought they'd been banished, controlled, made harmless. We were wrong.  The gamma monsters are coming back - converging, one by one, on New York City. And who can stop them now?  Who can save us...from the IMMORTAL HULK? Thor and the Avengers appear.

If you were born a 100 years ago your favorite Thor artist might have been Johannes Gehrts.

His artwork appeared in popular magazines and children's books at the beginning of the 20th century.

He made a living illustrating pirate stories, German legends, Fairy Tales and, obviously, Norse Mythology.

The Midgard Serpent appears on cover of THOR for the fifth time. 

The first three times (THOR #200, 273 and 278) were drawn by John Buscema. The fourth time (THOR #380) was by Walt Simonson. This cover, like the 22 Roy Thomas-written pages inside, was drawn by M.C. Wyman.

NOTE: Like most 1995 THOR issues, the High Evolutionary makes an appearance.
