New Ultimate Thor's Identity Has Been Revealed in THE MIGHTY THOR

A new Thor has entered the Marvel 616 and he wields Ultimate Thor's Hammer. In the newest issue of The Mighty Thor, Volstagg was announced as the new Ultimate Thor. I have to say, it is not something I would have expected. I mean, I was less surprised to see Jane Foster as The Mighty Thor, than Volstagg. For those who don't know, Volstagg is the more portly of the Warriors Three. A trio of heroes who are comrades with Thor. 

It all happened when Volstagg was acting as a representative of Asgard and visiting Nidavellir, home of the dwarves. The dwarves were taking in light elf refugees whose home was attacked. They are starving and the dwarves are having a hard time feeding them. While there, an attack took place claiming many. Volstagg took some light elf children and tried to protect them, but ultimately they died. This enraged Volstagg who then heard the call of the Hammer of Thor and went to it. He calls himself the War Thor. He's definitely not as jovial of a person as he was before.

Also in the issue, there is an interesting ultimatum placed. Jane Foster confides in Unworthy Thor that she is Mighty Thor, but she is so weak that if she becomes Thor one more time, she may never become Jane Foster again. Talk about deep and heavy for a comic. Children die, Jane Foster's cancer might end her forever, old Thor sulks because Jane Foster lied to him. It was a great issue, and I'm excited for the next issue that will feature all three Thor's teaming up!
