The Goon creator Eric Powell will prove himself worthy in a new graphic novel coming next May from Marvel and Abrams ComicArts.
Thor: Behemoth of the Black Moon will be published through Abrams’ Marvel Arts line, an initiative curated by Alex Ross and edited by Charles Kochman, editor-in-chief of Abrams ComicArts. It’ll be a cosmic adventure featuring giant monsters and a burden left to Thor by his dad, Odin.
“Growing up a Marvel kid as I did, getting free rein to tell a story with a premier character like Thor is a dream come true,” Powell said. “I didn’t want to waste this opportunity, so I’m doing exactly what I want—a big cosmic adventure with giant Kirby style monsters.
