Immortal Thor Annual # 1 2024 NM-

Immortal Thor Annual # 1 (2024), released in July 2024, is part three of the "Infinity Watch" crossover event, written by Al Ewing and Derek Landy with art by David Baldeon and Sara Pichelli. The issue centers on Thor's quest for the legendary Power Stone to help him in his fight against the Gods of Utgard and a prophecy of his own doom. 

Plot Summary

• The Quest for the Power Stone: Facing a significant threat from the menace of Utgard, Thor decides he needs the immense power of the Power Stone to aid his battle and potentially avert a prophecy of his own demise.
• Obstacles: Thor's quest leads him into conflict with two major obstacles: the incredibly mighty Champion of the Universe (Tryco Slatterus), whose strength is a match for Thor's own, and the fact that the Power Stone is currently inside a person known as the Prince of Power (Prince Otherone).
• A New "Hero" is Born: The Prince of Power, who uses the stone to drain the Champion of his strength, is portrayed as a somewhat foolish, comical character obsessed with becoming an "apex" superhero.
• Training on Earth: In the end, Thor realizes the stone cannot be separated from its current host. He uses the cosmic winds to transport the newly-dubbed "Powerstone" (and another character, Blackjack O'Hare) to New York City, intending for seasoned heroes to train the novice on how to use his new immense power responsibly.
• Backup Story: The annual also features a continuing story about the journey of the Death Stone Bearer, Nighthawk, and the scar the stone will leave on the universe.
