Brief Plot Summary
Set centuries before modern times, The Mighty Thor #6 takes readers on a journey into Thor’s youth — a time when the God of Thunder was brash, battle-hungry, and not yet worthy of Mjolnir. In this “Thor’s Day” special, young Thor roams Midgard during the Viking age, reveling in feasts and fights. Meanwhile, Loki, ever the trickster, taps into dark sorcery to create a terrifying new threat: the Viking Hulk — a monstrous beast infused with gamma-fueled rage and ancient Nordic power. As worlds collide, Thor must rise above his immaturity to face a creature that challenges both his strength and courage.
