An all-new story about the Mighty Thor in the celebrated Marvel Arts line, written and illustrated by Eric Powell, the five-time Eisner Award–winning, critically acclaimed creator of the bestselling comic book series The Goon
Eons ago, Odin—the All-Father, King of Asgard and protector of the Ten Realms—led his city into battle against the realm of Roangard. Odin's wrath was great, and after defeating their petty and covetous king, he banished his celestial brethren to the darkest reaches of the known universe, where they are incapable of doing harm or having any influence on the righteous.
But when a decrepit vassal from the banished realm risks his life to journey to Asgard and seek help against an unimaginable evil that has befallen Roangard—a beast that is devouring its people and laying waste to their lands—the Mighty Thor, bound by honor and pride and against his father's better judgment, takes up the cause and agrees to help the people of Roangard.
In Behemoth of the Black Moon, the latest all-new graphic novel from Marvel Arts, writer/artist Eric Powell (creator of The Goon) explores the darker side of Asgard's history, as the God of Thunder grapples with the demons from his father's past, and learns that not every wrong can be made right.
Praise
“I’ve been a fan of Eric Powell from the beginning. I’ve seen him do a whole lot of amazing stuff, but it’s always been clear that The Goon is the book he was born to draw. But now…I’m sort of thinking maybe The Goon AND Thor: Behemoth of the Black Moon are the books he was born to draw. I love this thing!”
—Mike Mignola, Hellboy
“At first glance, Eric Powell's Thor: Behemoth of the Black Moon feels like a love letter. But after reading, you'll agree: this comic is his goddamn opus. It's everything a trip to Asgard should be: part Kirby, part Shakespeare, and all Powell! An instant, unmistakable classic.”
—Becky Cloonan, Eisner Award–winning co-creator of Somna
