THOR-ANNUAL-#1

Thor Annual #1 (2009)

"The Hand of Grog"

While the main series focused on the rebuilding of Asgard in Oklahoma, this standalone annual takes a detour into the terrifying, ancient roots of Thor’s enemies. A dark, forgotten deity known as Grog emerges to challenge the Odinson, forcing Thor into a brutal, high-stakes battle that stretches from the frozen wastes to the halls of the afterlife.

Issue Highlights:

• Standalone Epic: Written by Peter Milligan( X-Statix , Hellblazer ), this story is entirely self-contained. You don’t need to be caught up on the monthly "Thor" run to dive right in and enjoy the action.
• Masterful Artwork: Featuring the haunting, highly detailed, and gritty pencils of Mico Suayan. His style is perfect for the "dark fantasy" tone of this story, making the fight against Grog feel truly epic and dangerous.
• The "Mythic" Feel: This issue leans heavily into the ancient, mysterious, and somewhat frightening aspects of the Norse pantheon—a nice departure from the more grounded "human" elements of that era.
• Collector’s Choice: Annuals from this period are often overlooked, making this a "sleeper" issue that offers great value for your collection.
