Synopsis

Immortal Thor #15 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

A scientist enters a lab and goes to work, which will be explained at the end….

Thor has drained Zeus’ power, increasing his own. A concerned Hercules pleads with Nyx to take some of the power to save Thor’s life; she insists it’s not her problem and vanishes back to her realm. Herc then turns to Loki and demands he save Thor but it’s part of Loki’s test of Thor and he will do nothing. The rune Uruz stands for the aurochs, a huge animal hunted to extinction by humans…

…which occurs to Thor standing inside a magic typhoon. He spins his hammer to simulate the Wheel of Fate and summons the magic belt Yolgjord which contains Zeus’ power, freeing Thor. He confronts Loki over his last two tests which nearly made him a monster but now these tests are involving others so for that Thor banishes Loki from the Golden Realm. And Thor returns to Asgard with his friends, Hercules, Nyx’s son Hypnos, and Athena, carrying the shriveled body of her father Zeus. They are greeted by Sif and Thor makes arrangements for lodging and calls for medical attention for Zeus, while explaining the new belt to Sif. He is told he has a visitor requesting an audience and it turns out to be Amora the Enchantress.…

Amora says she wants a better look at Thor’s axe, the one left buried in the back of Dario Agger. Thor is mad at Sif for letting her in but no Asgardian can be excluded from the Realm, no matter what the All-Father wants. Sif lets Amora know she is watching and departs. Amora wants to rekindle their romance; she sees Thor is willing to forgive and forget her scheme framing him for murder in Midgard and wants to know what Thor wants her to forgive. He mentions her son Iric who died and Thor was not there to protect him, but he is unwilling to restore Iric to life, allowing him the reward of Valhalla. He notes that Amora has control of Roxxon….

Meanwhile, in the science lab from the opening, an occult human sacrifice has been made and the scientist unveils Dario Agger, restored to life in a replacement body, aspiring to kill the gods….  



 

Review / Commentaries


Immortal Thor #15 Review by (September 4, 2024)
Review: And the saga continues, leading to the return of Dario Agger, whom I didn’t miss, with more Enchantress, ditto. We’ll see where this goes next and if it becomes any more lucid. 

Comments: Thor was framed for Dario Agger’s murder in issue #10. The story of Iric, Amora’s son, was told in STRANGE ACADEMY: FINALS. Issue includes a parody advertisement for basketball (the game), featuring Wolverine and Deadpool, mocking a genuine comic book ad from the 1970s, selling Spalding basketballs (and drawn by the great Jack Davis).
