Marvel is pleased to announce that Thor #6 has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level), marking yet another sell out for the series that continues to top the sales charts! The superstar creative team of writer JMS (The Twelve) and Olivier Coipel (House Of M) continue Thor’s quest to restore Asgard — and this issue marks the Thunder God’s most surprising decision yet! The fallout — literally — from this issue will change Thor’s life forever and set him on a path from which there is no return! And just how do Asgardian gods react to regular life in Oklahoma?

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Thor, as the series continues to sell-out with each issue and garner acclaim from all corners, with Jason Sacks of ComicsBulletin.Com gushing, “JMS’s re-invention of Thor has been a success.”

If you’ve missed out on the first six critically-acclaimed, sold-out issues of Thor — and haven’t been able to find any of those sold out multiple printings — then don’t miss Thor By J. Michael Straczynski Vol.1 Premiere HC! Collecting Thor #1-6, now’s your chance to learn just how and why Thor returned!

Marvel currently has no plans to go back to press on Thor #6.

Marko Djurdjevic Joins Thor In Battle As Odin Returns!

Acclaimed cover artist Mark Djurdjevic joins the thunderous hit series Thor as special guest artist for a two-issue arc that promises to turn the God of Thunder’s world on its head! Writer JMS (The Twelve) has brought Asgard to Earth, transformed Loki into a woman and pitted Thor against Iron Man… so what could JSM have planned for Thor’s father, Odin? Has he been found? And more importantly… should he be found?

As a special bonus, Djurdjevic and regular series artist Olivier Coipel have teamed-up to create a special variant cover for this issue—and you need to see the results of this superstar jam to believe it! This stunning image is also available as the Thor By Coipel & Djurdjevic Poster!

Thor’s world has been rocked by the machinations of others, but will the return of his father set him on a path of no return? And what of Loki’s machinations with the deadly Dr. Doom? If you haven’t checked out one of 2007’s most critically-acclaimed new series, then don’t miss Thor #7, kicking off a series of events that promise to shatter the status quo!
