Writer Ralph Macchio and artist Todd Nauck are bringing fans the THOR: LIGHTNING AND LAMENT #1 one-shot this June.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- This June, behold a saga that will go down in Asgardian history! From comic greats Ralph Macchio and Todd Nauck comes THOR: LIGHTNING AND LAMENT #1, an extraordinary one-shot brimming with an adventure worthy of the God of Thunder! THOR: LIGHTNING AND LAMENT will be a perfect entry-point to the Thor mythos and its iconic characters just in time for Thor's 60th anniversary. Packed with fresh insights into Thor, Loki, and Odin's intense and dramatic family dynamic, this unpredictable story promises to thrill new and longtime fans alike!

The Mighty Thor has abandoned Asgard in her greatest hour of need, leaving the Realm Eternal in the hands of his half brother Loki, in the absence of its rightful ruler, Odin. With Asgard under assault by legions of trolls, and the Lady Sif hovering near death due to a possibly fatal wound suffered in battle, can anyone save the Golden City from annihilation?

Witness Thor in all his thunderous glory when THOR: LIGHTNING AND LAMENT #1 hits stands on June 29. For more information, visit Marvel.com.
