THOR BECOMES NEW HERALD OF GALACTUS
/Hey O&G fans, yes you read the title right! Thor is a Herald of Galactus. The New Marvel reveal came from writer Donny Cates with art by Nic Klein and colors by Matt Wilson. Jason Aaron's Thor run ended with Odin stepping down as the leader of Asgard, passing the throne to his son. The new issue sees Thor adjusting to his new role as the all-father of Asgard.
Thor summons Galactus' past heralds to find out more about this Black Winter. Silver Surfer tells Thor that the Black Winter is what destroyed the universe that preceded their own. That would be the universe that Galactus, then Galan Taa, comes from. Thor and the heralds plan to revive Galactus and send him on a quest to absorb the unique energy of certain planets Silver Surfer has made note of. These planets will further empower Galactus, giving him a chance of stopping the Black Winter.
After the devourer of worlds arrives on Asgard, he changes Thor into his new herald saying he needs his help as the Black Winter is coming.
