Thor: For Asgard #2 — Simone Bianchi Cover (2010)

Thor: For Asgard #2 (2010) continues Marvel's six-issue fantasy epic by Robert Rodi and Simone Bianchi. The story, “Asgard, Part Two,” follows Thor as Asgard faces political upheaval, rebellion, and a devastating winter following the death of Balder and the disappearance of Odin. Thor must attempt to restore order while mysteriously being denied the power of his legendary hammer, Mjolnir.

The striking painted cover by Simone Bianchi, with colors by Simone Peruzzi, depicts Thor in the foreground, shouting as he raises his weapon overhead. Large portraits of Odin and Loki dominate the background, creating a dramatic composition centered on the fate of Asgard. Thor's fur-trimmed armor, metallic accessories, and battle-worn appearance emphasize the series' darker mythological tone.
