Marvel Comics has revealed Thor Annual #1 is set for July 5th release, with writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly joining forces with Ibrahim Roberson. The story promises an extra-sized blockbuster battle between Thor and one of Marvel’s most iconic villains, M.O.D.O.K.
“Collin and I are wildly honored to contribute to the glorious legacy of THOR!” Lanzing said. “Annuals are a wonderful way to dig into a unique aspect of a character – so we’re taking Thor through a gauntlet of epic proportions to finally face down the self-doubt that plagues the new All-Father of Asgard. Does he truly deserve his throne? Or do the Nine Realms belong to he who can take them with ingenuity, intelligence, and tireless effort? Is Thor truly worthy… or does the future belong to MYTHOS?”
So what’s Thor Annual #1 about?
Enter…MYTHOS! When M.O.D.O.K. – fueled by revenge and a refusal to ever again be someone else’s pawn – seizes control of all of the Ten Realms but Asgard, Thor the All-Father must step in and regain control of the Ten Realms and the World Tree. But M.O.D.O.K.’s new, cosmic power proves to be a greater threat than Thor could imagine, and he’ll need the inspiration of some beloved friends from Midgard to reclaim his realms and his awesome power.

Lanzing and Kelly are quite busy these days, with the relaunch of Guardians of the Galaxy on the way, as well as a Batman Beyond sequel coming later this year.
