Eisner-nominated scribe JMS and special guest artist Marko Djurdjevic join forces to show just what’s happened to Thor in the aftermath of Thor #600! Perfect for new readers, this issue reveals just what’s changed for the God of Thunder and Asgard. But what does Doctor Doom have to do with all the future of the Asgardian people? Thor #601 Second Printing Variant features the stunning interior artwork of Djurdjevic on a new cover!

“Thor is still a beautiful comic to behold, and I don't imagine that changing anytime soon…the best Marvel comic on the stands”—Dan Phillips, IGN.Com

“Straczynski has shown through the past year and a bit that he truly loves these characters, the mythology, everything that makes this title sizzle and pop each and every month. The artwork by Djurdjevic is brilliantly detailed, there's so much majesty and a regal nature to it all.”—Adam Chapman, Comixtreme.Com

“This is a great issue for fans and a fun start to a new arc”—Robert Murray, ComicsBulletin.Com

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Thor, as each issue of the Eisner-nominated series continues to sell out quickly and garner acclaim. What’s next for Asgard? Find out in Thor #601 Second Printing Variant!
