Synopsis

Thor: The Deviants Saga #2 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 3.5 stars

The ruins of Olympia are guarded by the mismatched pair of Deviant mutates Karkas and Ransak who savor the irony. And then Thor arrives, searching for Eternals to aid him in his quest to find Ereshkigal, who has made off with the Unbinding Stone of Oshemar from Asgard’s vault. They tell him that the Eternals are all gone, only Virako still there. Thor is overjoyed to see his old friend, whom he saw die many centuries earlier. Virako introduces Thor to Phastos, their technician, who is working on repairing the Eternals’ resurrection chamber. They are the only two Eternals available to help Thor…and then a Deviant invasion force led by Kro arrives to steal the resurrection chamber in a plan to revive the dying Deviants. A battle breaks out, with Thor fighting the gigantic Tutinax the Mountain Mover. They crash through a containment cell where Phastos was experimenting and they appear to be fighting in slow motion. Another broken wall releases a radiation that illuminates each individual’s elemental analog: Kro appears to be shifting sand and Karkas looks like a handsome human while Thor and Tutinax are glowing. Tutinax defeats Thor but Kro refuses to allow him a final blow as they must return with haste to Lemuria, having captured Phastos and the resurrection chamber. Thor vows to follow them but he sees that Virako is gravely injured….

Once Virako is taken care of and his wounds dressed, Thor announces his plans to face the Deviants in their own land, with Ransak and Karkas volunteering to guide him. And Virako promises that, if Thor returns, he will tell him what has become of the other Eternals….



 

Review / Commentaries


Thor: The Deviants Saga #2 Review by (November 12, 2024)

Review: See issue #1 for full review.

Comments: Virako was introduced in THOR ANNUAL #7, died there, and then was resurrected in NEW ETERNALS: APOCALYPSE NOW #1. Both Ransak and Karkas first appeared in ETERNALS (Vol. 1) #8 and returned in THOR #285-293. Phastos was introduced in ETERNALS (Vol. 2) #1. Tutinax first appeared in ETERNALS ANNUAL #1 and not a lot since. And Ereshkigal is on the cover but does not appear in the story. John Rauch contributed to the colors.
