'Thor Love and Thunder': Comics to read before watching Chris Hemsworth's movie
'Mighty Thor'
Written by Jason Aaron and designed by Russell Dauterman, the 'Mighty Thor' is one of the most important story arcs in Marvel Comics that 'Love and Thunder' is inspired by. In the story, Jane Foster wields Mjolnir and takes up the title of -- you guessed it -- Mighty Thor. She keeps Thor guessing for a while, however. The story also has a poignant touch too as Foster is suffering from breast cancer and her condition gets worse when she uses the Thor persona.
'God of Thunder'
Aaron had also struck gold with 'God of Thunder', collaborating with artist Esad Ribic this time. The story arc served as the introduction of Gorr the God Butcher, Bale's fearsome villain. The story has Thor investigating the disappearances of gods and eventually figures out the culprit.
'Son of Asgard'
We know 'Love and Thunder' will feature a flashback to Thor's younger days. In case you didn't know, the God of Thunder packed a punch as a kid too. Lady Sif and Balder also feature. The story is similar to a classic, rip-roaring Norse tale.
'Asgardians of the Galaxy'
If you watched 'Avengers: Endgame' closely, the term ''Asgardians of the Galaxy' was referenced as a joke, but there really is a comic-book story by that name. And it is good. Since Thor was with the Guardians of the Galaxy the last time we saw him, this storyline might play a role in the movie. We know the Guardians will appear in at least in a cameo in 'Love and Thunder'.
