The Unworthy Thor | Comics

For ages, The Mighty Thor has been master of lightning and bearer of his mighty uru hammer Mjolnir, until Nick Fury whispered something to his ears (during Original Sin), which was a long-kept secret by Uatu The Watcher that rendered him unworthy and he became unable to lift the mystic hammer.

Since then, he has been tirelessly seeking means of wielding his trusted weapon once again by redeeming his worthiness. It dropped on surface of the moon and unsuccessful at reclaiming his right to wield Mjolnir, he is now going by the name Odinson these days.

In quest for redemption, his new weapon of choice is a battle axe called Jarnbjorn and Odinson also starts using arm prosthesis made of Black Uru after it was chopped off in a fight against Malekith. A new female Thor started wielding the enchanted hammer while it rejected him again and again.

Then Multiverse started collapsing and he aided The Avengers in their mission to save all but Odinson dies with Hyperion trying to oppose a wave of Beyonders (Time Runs Out). Realities clashed, Universe died and restored back as Odinson came to find Mjolnir again (Secret Wars).

After dozens of satellites were damaged by some unknown forces, Odinson receives a call from Alpha Flight about this matter. He goes to investigate on moon and engages in a fight with a group of Trolls led by their leader King Ulik.

Though he had his battle axe Jarnbjorn at hand, it isn't as effective in battle as Mjolnir was and after some struggle, he was able to force the Trolls retreat with a little help from his mystical pet goat Toothgnasher. Then The Unseen approached him on surface of moon, who informed Odinson about another hammer of a dead Thor of another world.

Back at old Asgard, Odinson rushed there on Toothgnasher only to find it disappeared from its place. While he was wondering who could have done this, legendary Korbinite warrior and an old friend, Beta Ray Bill came looking for him.

Seeing Odinson without his mighty Mjolnir, Bill offers his very own Stormbreaker to Odinson but the latter gently rejects this offer. As Bill was about to disclose the identity of the one who has taken over eternal Norse realm into his possession, the Brothers in Thunder came under attack.

These two engages their attacking party and when Thor heads toward their transport ship, a powerful bomb from a lost civilization is dropped on him. When woke up, Odinson discovers himself in chains and the person behind his capture and Asgard's disappearance is revealed to be an elder of universe named Taneleer Tivan; The Collector.

He wants Ultimate Mjolnir for himself and unsuccessfully tries to force Odinson into revealing way of lifting it. Soon, along with a mysterious hooded figure, Black Swan and Proxima Midnight of Thanos's Black Order sneaks into Collector's ship looking for the hammer.

The Unworthy Thor

A five-part limited series, which is the brainchild of writer Jason Aaron (Southern Bastards, Thanos Rising) and artist Olivier Coipel (House of M, Siege), "The Unworthy Thor" centers around event that are highlights from Original Sin to AXIS to Thors – Battleworld, a tie-in story from Secret Wars crossover event.

A journey of Odinson that has began from regaining his grace and reclaiming his title of being worthy to wield his legendary uru hammer Mjolnir once again is focus of entire plot. Long after, The Thunder Brothers of Asgard are reunited once again against a common foe and fought valiantly side by side for a common goal, which was very satisfying.

War of The Unworthy

This story features a wide array of Marvel characters like Beta Ray Bill, Black Swan, Hela, Nick Fury, Proxima Midnight, Thanos, The Collector, Thori, Toothgnasher and Ulik, each of whom played their own respective parts for the story to advance forward to a direction where all of these will finally make sense.

Surprisingly, Taneleer Tivan AKA The Collector in this book resembles a lot like Benicio del Toro's version of the character portrayed in live-action Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) movie. The story also hinted at a couple of point that might relate to Marvel Cinematic Universe live-action film Thor – Ragnarok (2017) and upcoming Avengers – Infinity War (2018).

Amazing Spider-Man – Spider-Verse | Comics

Morlun of the Inheritors is coming with his family to hunt down all Spider-Totems of Multiverse.

J. Jonah Jameson calls Peter Parker up from his sleep and starts shouting at him to go over at Armstrong Park, where a super-villain is apparently trashing the place down and he wants pictures of that. Quickly donning his suit in a rush, he starts swinging and within no time, he reached the park seeing a shadowy figure waiting for him.

It was Morlun who came after him and quickly drained the life-force of a completely unaware Spider Moon-Man. Back in Loomworld, his brother Daemos and sister Verna were preparing for a hunt when he arrived home. Before going on a hunt, Verna slightly teases him and Morlun approached his brother for answer.

Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man wakes up in the morning at his apartment next to Cindy Moon, currently going as Silk, who came to talk about a solution of their problem of getting into an insatiable urge for mating while staying in close proximity and then she jokingly suggests that Pete should move to moon.

They came outside bumping into Looter but Spider-Girl, Spider-Woman and Spider-Man 2099 arrives to talk to him. Peter' alternate reality daughter Mayday Parker AKA Spider-Girl, Spider-Ham and Spider-UK also joins them shortly.

Amazing Spider-Man – Spider-Verse | Comics

All the Spider-Men from other dimensions have gathered for a serious recent issue about The Inheritors, who are hunting down every Spider-Totem in existence to feed on them. These heroes all banded together to seek his help because he is the only one across the entire Multiverse who faced Morlun more than once and survived.

Everyone has gathered at their current safe zone in Earth-13, where lives an Enigma Force empowered Cosmic Spider-Man to protect them all. On Earth-610, Verna and her hounds attacks on an unsuspecting Miles Morales out of nowhere.

Meanwhile, Daemos was trashing New Warriors members Justice, Nova, Sun Girl and Water Snake on Mount Wundagore but saved Scarlet Spider for last. During his monologue, Kaine hits him with his stinger like spikes in a fit of rage, which actually managed to hurt him for once and Daemos deemed him as The Other.

As Kaine was about to bite the dust, cavalry arrived from a portal to rescue him and engaged the hunter. One of them was Gwen Stacy and he thought it was a clone from Jackal but Ben Reilly of Earth-94 assured him that she isn't one.

They all regrouped quickly to get out but Bruce Banner Spidey died at the hands of the Inheritor. Back in Loomworld, Morlun had a tiff with his elder brother regarding Daemos secretly entering into his reserved hunting ground Earth-616.

He is confronted by his entire family over his ability to conquer the assembled Spider-Army to rule over the web of life and destiny forever on the dinner table. They all then feast and then prepare to lead an onslaught upon their prey but completely forget about their outcast brother Karn, who has the ability to turn the tides of this war!

Amazing Spider-Man – Spider-Verse

Tying-in with widely spanned "Spider-Verse" crossover event, "Amazing Spider-Man – Spider-Verse" contains the major conflicts and happenings. The storyline is plotted by writer Dan Slott (Spider-Man – Big Time, Spider-Man – Dying Wish), collecting issues #9-15 from Amazing Spider-Man volume three.

Artists Giuseppe Camuncoli (Superior Spider-Man – My Own Worst Enemy, Superior Spider-Man – Necessary Evil) and Olivier Coipel (Avengers Vs. X-Men, Siege) were helping Dan portray this crossover from the Multiverse of Marvel Comics. At one point, a showdown between real Peter Parker Spider-Man and a time-displaced Superior Spider-Man was one of the defining moments of the story.

Amazing Vs. Superior

A vendetta that started back in 2001, when energy vampire Morlun was introduced through "Coming Home" storyline and he kept coming after Spider-Man was actually hinting at more future encounters, has finally paid off to readers. Daemos and Verna will probably be on spotlight of some future story arc as there are tons of potential to explore their character for some interesting narrative build and some awesome action.

Character like Spider-Gwen made her significant debut during this event and holds a great promise to be on many future stories as well. However, threat of The Inheritors is far from over even if they are halted for now, because Morlun has returned from dead more than once now and a sequel event "Spider-Geddon" is scheduled to take place in 2018.

Spider-Verse | Comics

Morlun and his deadly family of Inheritors are coming after every single Spider-Man of The Multiverse and chances of survival is slim.

Peter Parker is back in his own body as the Amazing Spider-Man after one of his greatest foe Doctor Octopus had taken control over it by swapping consciousness with him a while ago. Back in action after months, he also discovers that there was another girl named Cindy Moon, bitten by the same spider that gave him powers in the first place.

The moment she was freed; her existence is revealed to Morlun through her scent, he recognizes her as "Spider-Bride" and states that The Great Hunt has begun. So he goes to Earth-311, where Peter Parquagh AKA The Spider was doing a stage show at Globe Theater and beat him to submission before devouring his essence.

Following an incident at Horizon Labs, Superior Spider-Man ended up in 2099 of Earth-TRN588 as but is aided by Gabriel O'Hara, brother of Spider-Man 2099. He gave Otto a halo-agent, which is an AI form of Anna Maria Marconi to help him go back home.

However, he reached parallel universes to discovering his counterparts from other realities of Civil War, Fantastic Five, House of M and one wearing Spider-Armor MK deceased. He then bumped into Morlun's estranged brother and one of the Inheritors, Karn chasing after Spider-Man India of Earth-50101, whom he rescued and recruited into a Spider-Army.

Otto already has assembled Spider-Monkey, Spider-Man Noir, Six-Armed Spider-Man and Spider-Girl of "Old Man Logan" reality. He heads for the one from Earth-8351, who moved away from New York to Russia, have even killed Kraven the Hunter in past and was trained with Wolverine before being attacked by Karn.

Octavius arrives just in time to save him from imminent death. When the monster was chasing Cyborg Spider-Man of Earth-2818, the Spider-Army ambushed on him but he quickly threw them off balance. Cyborg and Six-Armed Spidey are taken down in a sudden sneak attack by Karn's Inheritor siblings Brix and Bora.

Fallout between the three Inheritor family-members creates a distraction that allows Otto and his team to retreat. Back in his base, he tasks Cyborg to look for anything related to these hunters. He then sent Spider-Man India and Noir to locate the home dimension of Karn while Spider-Monkey and Six-Arms go to check for more attacks.

Meanwhile, Karn goes hunting Spider-God Ai Apaec while recollecting past events of his family going against the Great Weaver. His brothers and sisters fell against Master Weaver and his mother paid the price with her life when he hesitated. A mask is placed on his face as a reminder of shame and he started hunting solo.

Peter wakes up on a call from J. Jonah Jameson shouting at him to go over Armstrong Park and take pictures of a villain who is wrecking havoc there. When they came face to face, Spider Moon-Man couldn't even land a blow before getting devoured by Morlun.

He then returns to his family on Loomworld and his brother Daemos confronts him about his recent hunt. Upon his sister Verna teasing him, Daemos states that he has been avoiding a specific thread of entire Multiverse but he former disagrees and tells the latter to stay away from it as he has saved it for last. Daemos then recalls it as Earth-616.

Peter Parker wakes up seeing Cindy Moon next to him, who suggests that he should move to another city as she can take care of New York. They go outside bumping into Looter in a Spider-Tank stolen from Superior Spidey, who is taken down by the arrival of Anya Corazon AKA Spider-Girl, Spider-Woman and Spider-Man 2099.

Mayday Parker as Spider-Girl, Spider-Ham and Spider-UK showed up as well to warn him, because he faced one of them and lived. In Mountain Wundagore, Daemos decimated Justice, Nova, Sun Girl and Water Snake of New Warriors looking for Scarlet Spider.

When he proceeds to feed on Kaine, he stabbed the hunter with spikes and actually hurt him, causing Daemos to realize that he is the Other. Three different Spider-Men came through a portal to rescue Scarlet Spidey. One of them appears to be Gwen Stacy, whom Kaine thought as a clone but Ben Reilly of Earth-94 vouches for her.

Bruce Banner Spidey bites the dust and Old Man Spider led the others away. They all regroup at safe zone protected by Cosmic Spider-Man, who came with infant Benjy Parker. In Ultimate Universe, Miles Morales is attacked by Verna and her hounds.

He is rescued by Superior Spidey and his team before they could feast on him. Peter Parker of Earth-616 is being deemed as the "Chosen One" by every other Spider-Totem, because of his track record with Inheritors. When he comes face to face with Otto, a fight among the Amazing and Superior Spider-Man will determine who will lead their creed.

The Inheritor family are currently after the receptacles of powerful totemic entities; The Other, The Scion and The Bride for a ritual to avert a crisis on them. They attack on them and only an unlikely ally can help the heroes save the day.
