Essential Comics To Read Before Seeing Thor: Love And Thunder
The 2015 event “Secret Wars” saw Doctor Doom in full control of the last remaining vestiges of the multiverse – a patchwork of various planets and timelines known as Battleworld. In order to maintain order in this tenuous reality, Doom gathered the Thors from dozens of different realities and drafted them into his Thor Corps, a police force whose every member wielded a godly thunder.
Although the “Thors” miniseries didn’t quite live up to the outstanding quality of the main “Secret Wars” event, it did provide readers with a whole host of alternate-reality Thors. Many fan favorites returned, including Old King Thor, Jane Foster Thor, Ultimate Thor, Beta Ray Bill, and the version of the X-Men’s Storm who became a Thor. In addition, a plethora of novel alternate Thors debuted, including a boar Thor and lizard Thor, and the series showed off the possibilities of a multiversal Thor.
Given that “Thor: Love and Thunder” will immediately follow “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and that the MCU’s other multiverse-melding series stars none other than Thor’s brother Loki, the chance that viewers will soon see an alternate-reality Thor is far from zero.
