Jason Aaron, not content with leading just about the best damn Thor run in history, set about relaunching the Marvel Universe this week in Legacy #1. It teed up a whole array of different storylines for various characters, team ups and more, but one of the more interesting revelations dwelled on the fate of the Odinson and, more specifically, one of his most powerful enemies.
We are of course talking about Mangog, and with the series approaching a milestone 700th issue this winter, it's clear that there are big plans in place for the character. Ragnarok will undoubtedly influence what's to come in the comics themselves (evidenced by Hela's presence in the above promo), but this is still very much Aaron's story - one that'll feature a whole array of Thors tackling an immense cosmic threat.
The last we saw of the Odinson he was drinking away his sorrows in an Asgardian bar, but the very Unworthy Thor will be mounting a return soon no doubt, in what'll have to be the most Thorsome moment in Aaron's series thus far. Make sure you don't miss it.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
