Exclusive First Look: THE UNWORTHY THOR #1

Odinson is determined to regain his worthiness.

Remember back in 2014's Original Sin #7 when Thor became unworthy? This lead to a new Thor being able to wield Mjolnir and a heap of problems for Odinson. We haven't seen too much of the former mighty Thor, but that will change in November.

Marvel has given us an exclusive first look at The Unworthy Thor #1.

No Caption Provided

(W) Jason Aaron (A/CA) Olivier Coipel

Odinson's desperate search to regain his worthiness has taken him out into the cosmos, where he's learned of the existence of a mysterious other Mjolnir. This weapon of unimaginable power, a relic from a dead universe, is the key to Odinson's redemption - but some of the greatest villains of the Marvel Universe are now anxious to get their hands on it as well. Can The Odinson reclaim his honor, or will the power of thunder be wielded for evil? The quest for the hammer begins here.

Is that ultimate Mjolnir? How it survived from the universe being erased?

@bluehope: @mrnoital: Nope, never revealed but hinted here and there. I suspect that the writer and editors of OS-event thought the whole whisper-business as far less important than the readers, never giving any real thought to it, and it has caught them with their pants down.

How can Miles Morales and the Maker be alive and kicking in 616? I doubt there's ever going to be satisfactory answers beyond somewhat condescending -well duh! Fractions of it survived the merger and were then scattered across the multiverses yadda yadda ya.

@bluehope: Good question well at least now he will have a hammer back. The question now is the hammer from Ultimate Thor Universe more powerful than 616 Universe made by Odin. Will the powers work the same.

@antihero_jaymok: it's the mjolnir of Secret Wars Ultimate Thor. How it will work is beyond me being that Ultimate Thor needed a suit originally to power it too.

It was explained how Miles and his family survived.

Miles is alive and kicking because He gave Molecule Man a burger and Molecule Man saved him from 1610's destruction as a thank you. Was a pretty cool moment

Nope. Even Jason Aaron can't remove that massive shit stain from his otherwise pretty good career.

Lol, Hickman already wrote thor regaining his worthiness just before him and hyperion died fighting beyonders; he couldn't wield 'thorrs' mjolnir anymore because it required the user to be unworthy.

I think it has something to do with Angela. Like Thor had something with her and that made him unworthy. But it's just speculation from my part.

@mrnoital: Just because they haven't revealed it yet doesn't mean that they won't or that they don't have it planned out. Who the hell are you, me, or anyone else that isn't Jason Aaron or Marvel to claim to know what is in store for the character? I, personally, am fine with keeping it a mystery for a while and making it part of the larger story. Let it be told how it'll be told.

I find it amusing how even when Thor's unworthy they still manage to fail tell a story of Thor that doesn't involve a mallet in some way or other... Hickman takes him to the edge of the universe... with a hammer of Thorr, his story right there was told through that hammer basically... Now he resurfaces, and where is he? Of course, in a search of another (Ultimate) Mjolnir... that isn't even the Mjolnir actually, THAT hammer was a tech based thing. Real Mjolnir looked exactly like the regular one does.

Sigh.

First of all...when did they allow cussing on here? Thought it was a violation or something.

Secondly, @franksands: What do you mean by Thor and Angela had ... "something", please dear lord tell me it's not a suspected incest angle ...will literally hurl if it is an incest angle ....

I'll bet this is yet another tease and in the end some other character will step in and pluck the hammer from Thor's grasp a millisecond before he's able to lay claim to it. OR the whole limited series will be this HUGE build up to Thor taking up Ultimate Mjolnir as at least a secondary consolation prize only to find he's unworthy of that trinket as well. And then Aaron and Marvel editorial will have a good laugh at fans once again, pissing them off and generating yet more controversy and publicity for themselves.

Hey, I didn't say I liked the idea. If you look in the whisper made by fury, the first line looks like "THOR".

The second line looks like "ALDRIF", Angela's name in the marvel universe

The third line is incomprehensible. K...D...R?

So it looks like Thor and Aldrif were in the phrase and maybe the third line is a verb? Maybe Thor killed Angela when she was a baby?

Another option, and here's where the incest comes into play, the 3 lines may form a name, like Huir Aldrifson Kareil. This would mean a child from Thor and Angela, and enough to make Odinson unworthy of the hammer.

Funny. IIRC a bunch of people on here already predicted it would be the Ultimate Mjolnir, and it looks like they were right.

Been a long time since i've read a Thor comic or any comics really....why does Thor have a black arm?

Also...that looks like Beta-Ray Bill's Mjolnir, doesn't it? Is it the same as the Ultimate one? Again, forgive my ignorance please, just a curious onlooker...lol

@nerevarine_11: Ah, thanks for the info on his wayward arm!

Also, i googled Stormbreaker and it is clearly different. It doesn't have quite the axe blade that the hammer above does.

I'm pretty sure that's the case. I want it to. The hammer, Maker, miles and bombshell. Imagine if the reveal of civil war 2 would be that the Hulk in the vision was the Ultimate one.
