Thor Epic Collection, Vol. 24: The Lost Gods

Thor Epic Collection

by Tom DeFalco

The return of the classic title JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY!

Thor is gone! Asgard has been destroyed! Its gods are scattered across the Earth, living mortal lives with no memory of their past selves. Can Sif, Balder, Ulik the Troll, the Warriors Three, the Enchantress and the other Lost Gods discover the truth about themselves in time to stop the world-destroying plot of Seth, the Egyptian God of Death? Brunnhilde the Valkyrie is a legend reborn — but is destined to face the deepest depths of D’Spayre! And, stripped of his immortal powers and grieving for his lost allies Thor and the Avengers, Hercules struggles to find his place in the mortal world. But when Ares, god of war, plots to plunge Earth into the Dark Ages once more, the Prince of Power is drawn back into the fray!

Follows on from Thor Epic Collection, Vol. 23: Worldengine, which saw a weakening Thor finally falling to Onslaught. while that was happening Odin tried to save his people from Ragnarok. This book -- mainly one story, with some extra material -- sees a scattered group of seeming humans coming under attack, and Odin's spell starting to crack as the nihilistic Seth prepares to destroy the Universe. After that there's a Valkyrie one-shot that's a tribute to Mark Gruenwald, and a three-part Hercules story. The whole thing is very painfully 90s in both the writing and the artwork,

This material was so much better than I expected. Good stuff.
