Synopsis

Immortal Thor (2023 series) #18 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

Through the machinations of the Enchantress, her and Thor’s son Magni, God of Strength, has been brought into the present world from his alternate timeline. After some explanations, Amora finally gets to why—and the answer is that Thor is fated to die soon. Thor confirms this but Magni points out that he is not the child of the present Amora and Thor. Thor says how he would follow a Midgard custom and play catch with his son, tossing him Mjolnir. And Magni catches it and raises the hammer over his head. Thor then suggests they go hunting together…for super-villains….

The villains Grey Gargoyle, Mister Hyde, Cobra, and Radioactive Man meet on a rooftop on Earth, waiting for Thor, Hyde growing violently emotional, and Gargoyle afraid of landing in an America jail. Radioactive Man isn’t worried: as a foreign national, he knows he will be held in a comfortable cell for a few hours while his people make a deal to release him. And then the Rainbow Bridge arches over them and Thor, Magni, Amora, and Sif descend from the sky. An enraged Hyde attacks, leaping at Magni, who, as the God of Strength, easily punches his lights out. Hyde then demands that Cobra give him a potentially lethal dose of the serum that empowers him. Cobra does so, filling the air first with Cobra Gas to blind the gods; Sif, with the eyesight of Heimdall, simply walks through it and swats him. Grey Gargoyle tries to petrify Amora, who detects the weak transmutation spell and responds with a stronger one, turning GG to green rock. Thor then blows the gas away, revealing a giant Mister Hyde. He punches Magni over the side of the roof so Thor calls to Amora to catch him as he can’t fly and he might hurt someone by landing on them. Hyde swings at Thor but his fist meets Mjolnir, injuring him. Thor than clouts him into the ground. A smug Radioactive Man then surrenders peaceably. The police arrive to arrest Amora and Thor so the gods return to Asgard….

Dario Agger has been watching on television, joyous that Amora and Thor will look bad. He checks the progress on his scheme to pass himself off as Dario Agger Jr., covering up his return from the dead….

As the four villains are being shipped off to prison, Calvin Zabo (Hyde’s human identity) snarks at Radioactive Man for his big talk earlier. But Chen Lu’s future looks to be what he said it was as they enter Daedalus LLC, a private prison owned by Roxxon….

Review / Commentaries


Immortal Thor (2023 series) #18 Review by (December 18, 2024)

Review: So we get a brief rundown on the series newest character, Magni Thorson, who seems pleasant enough. Then a battle with bad guys occupies most of the issue with a couple of teasers for future plot points. Again a decent issue, easier to follow than the depths of Al Ewing’s more complicated issues. The bad guys never seem like a real threat to Thor, even though he was petrified and broken not long ago, his bounce back was impressive. And so it goes….

Comments:  Magni Thorson appeared in THOR (1998) #68-77 in an alternate timeline now designated Earth-3515. Amora the Enchantress is the bad guy in the current IRON MAN (2024) series, “The Stark-Roxxon War.” Dario Agger was seemingly killed by Thor in issue #10 and revived in issue #15.
