Thor: Blood Oath #5

In Thor: Blood Oath #5, written by Michael Avon Oeming and illustrated by Scott Kolins, Thor and his companions face their fourth trial in a mythic journey that's as relentless as it is surreal. After a brutal clash with the Irish god Chulain, who decapitates Volstagg and attacks Thor, Hogun halts the onslaught with an unexpected twist—literally. Restored by the world tree’s healing apple, the group presses forward, arriving in Japan to confront the temple of the Grasscutter sword, now sealed behind an army of the dead. The cover by Scott Kolins captures the moment’s intensity, with dynamic inks reinforcing the chaos.
