He then finds out that the golden city of Asgard he once knew is now gone. The invincible Destroyer is sent to Earth for an unknown purpose, which battled Thor and The Avengers member Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch. After it has possessed Colonel Case, intoxicated him with its vast power. But The Avengers were quite unsuccessful in stopping him and after a massive fight, Thor seemingly dies at his hands.

Thor was then sent to Hel to Volla and Hela, who are approached by the enigmatic Marnot, who offered him to return his life if he simply agrees to share his body with Jake Olsen, an EMT paramedic who died during their battle with The Destroyer while trying to save the life of a civilian.

Thor agrees to this and starts living as a mortal to honor Jake's noble heroism, learning the ways of Earth as a mere mortal. The revived Thor has returned to Earth and single handedly outmatched the brute force of The Destroyer this time, sending him to a barren and distant planet. Though he could transform into God of Thunder at will, he starts having difficulties maintaining his newly developed dual identities.

Battle Chasers Anthology

Battle Chasers is a popular comic series by industry talent Joe Madureira (Astonishing X-Men, Ultimates 3). It was one of the most demanding title back in 1998 when it was released from Wildstorm Comics. Joe did one of the finest piece of work on the book but also was heavily criticized for the long delayed period of this series and the title was later moved to Image Comics.

A Gathering of Heroes

Some people praised the story, some hated it but even if you don't like the story, there is a little not to like about the beautiful artwork delivered by the bad-ass penciller like Joe Mad. From human shapes to machines, he can deliver the finest outlines possible compared to no other.

That's one of the reason behind the success of this amazing sci-fi fantasy filled limited series. In 2015, Madureira launched a Japanese-style role-playing game called Battle Chasers – Nightwar, which serves as a link to the book.
