While the word is overused considerably, there are few better ways to describe Jason Aaron's time in Asgard than "epic," and next year the stakes get raised even higher. The Mighty Thor goes fully cosmic with the arrival of Gladiator, The Imperial Guard, and the full force of the Shi'Ar armada in a new storyline appropriately titled "The Asgard/Shi'Ar War".

It all kicks off in The Mighty Thor #15 by Jason Aaron, Russell Dauterman and Matt Wilson, and Marvel has provided us with a first look at the action.

Over the past fifteen issues of The Mighty Thor, and even further back into the previous volume and beyond, Jason Aaron and his collaborators have been building an elaborate house of cards regarding the fate of Thor, Asgard, and its place in the cosmic hierarchy. With events occurring both in The Mighty Thor and The Unworthy Thorit looks like everything might come to a head very soon.
