Published on August 24, 2022, the comic Avengers Forever #8 introduces the readers to the Thor of Earth-56337. This version of Thor went through intense suffering as he watched Asgard burn, watched Midgard be defiled, and couldn’t do anything. No longer worthy of Mjolnir, the character dwells on the planet seeking a purpose.
