Jane ജFoster is returning as Thor this summer, taking up the reforged Mjolnir as Thor Odinson (the guy who usually carries it) requires Jane's help from a conglomeration of Asgardian villains with their sites set on the throne of the 'Realm Eternal'.
In the five-issue limited series Jane Foster & the Mighty Thor, launching in June from writer Torunn Grønbekk and artist Michael Dowling, Mjolnir itself comes crash landing in Jane's apartment, dragging her into a quest to save the Odinson by becoming Thor again to fight against villains including Ul🍬ik the troll, the Enchantress, and Hela the goddess of death. The first issue includes covers from Ryan Stegman and Peach Momoko, both seen 🅷here.
Jane waಌs Thor for some time following the ev🌜ents of the story Original Sin in which Thor Odinson becom𒀰es unworthy of lifting Mjolnir, leading Jane to take his place as the goddess of thunder and as a supe🐬rhero.
🧸It seems that Mjolnir will be back in working order by June in time to be wielded by Jane Foster as she becomes Thor again - also just ♓in time for actor Natalie Portman's Jane Foster to become Thor herself on the big screen in July's Thor: Love and Thunder film.
Jane Foster isn't the only character that has been deemed worthy to wield Mjolnir. Here's the best of them, including two DC characters.
