The end of the Immortal Thor is finally arriving, as Marvel confirms the 'last stand' of the God of Thunder will see his demise in a story concluding with Immortal Thor #25 this July. But with the publisher promising "a new legend" begins from the fallout, what lies ahead for the Asgradian?

Written by Al Ewing and illustrated by Jan Bazaldua, Immortal Thor #25 promises to deliver an epic finale to the life of the Thunder god. Along with the first plot details, readers can enjoy the main cover art as well as the “Death of Immortal Thor” Connecting Variant Cover by original Immortal Thor artist Martín Cóccolo.

While the thunder god's journey may be ending, it would be a disservice if he didn't go out with a bang. Luckily, that seems to be exactly what's in store.

Immortal Thor Ends In July

According to Marvel's press release announcing the end of Immortal Thor:

Next month, IMMORTAL THOR #23 by writer Al Ewing and artist Jan Bazaldua marks the beginning of Thor Odinson’s last stand. A saga that’s been building since Ewing started his acclaimed run, the new arc finds Thor alone against the fury of the malevolent Gods of Utgard. The omens can no longer be denied. The prophecy can no longer be delayed. The hour has come for the God of Thunder’s demise!

At the end of his tale, Thor strode into Vidblainn, third land of the dead, whence nothing could return. And there, beyond all battles, beyond all cares, he stood and fought for justice one last time – against the great Serpent who wore his own face and held his own hammer. This was the story of the IMMORTAL THOR…and the deciding of his fate.

This final issue marks the end of Thor's current journey, which has been building towards this dramatic climax for much of Immortal Thor's run, which has been defined by its ambition and self-referential fascination with Thor lore. In the book's final story, the hero faces off against the imposing Utgard Gods in a battle unlike anything in the character's history. The story sets the stage for Thor's death, as he enters "the third land of the dead" and faces a disturbingly familiar final foe.

The finale of Immortal Thor will be illustrated by Justin Greenwood, in his Marvel debut, with variant covers by Alex Ross and Martín Cóccolo. Fans can look forward to a powerful conclusion to this saga, which has tested Thor’s immortality more than Iron Man's Thorbuster suit ever could. While this marks the end of one era for the God of Thunder, Ewing’s work will continue with a fresh, bold new take on Thor later in the year. As one legend ends, a new chapter in Thor's story will soon begin.

Marvel Fans Know The Death Of A God Isn't The End Of The Story

Ewing’s Bold Vision Continues

While Immortal Thor may be concluding with Thor’s death, Al Ewing’s work on the character is far from finished. The end of this saga sets the stage for a fresh, bold new direction that fans can only hope won't waste its potential like the MCU; Ewing’s knack for intricate storytelling ensures that the take on the God of Thunder will bring new complexities to the character. Thor’s future will be shaped by the powerful narrative foundations laid in Immortal Thor, but it’s clear that the next chapter will be full of surprises, challenging him in ways fans haven’t seen before.

The fall of Thor marks a significant moment in the Asgardians' long history, but it’s also the start of something entirely new. With Ewing continuing to write the character, the stories will explore different facets of Thor’s legacy, expanding his cosmic role and pushing him into uncharted territory. This new phase promises to dive deeper into his relationships with other gods, his place in the universe, and his evolution as a hero. Marvel fans can look forward to seeing these transformations in Thor during this climactic finale.

Immortal Thor #25 will be available May 14, 2025 from Marvel Comics.
