Thor

Thor, the god of thunder!

Marvel Comics Thor Comic Book 6 Marvel Battle Lines Variant - ToyWiz
Based on Norse mythology, Thor is from an alternate magical realm called Asgard. His father is the king of Asgard, Odin. Wanting to prove himself as a worthy warrior of Asgard, Thor decides to go to Earth (also known as Midgard) and be a hero for that realm. With his mighty hammer, Mjlonir, Thor can call up storms and shoot lightning. The power of the gods is literally within his hands. When he goes into battle, he fights for both humans and the honor of the Norse gods!

When it comes to the iconic Thor, here are my suggestions:

Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan (book/e-book/audio CD/e-audio)-
The Sword of Summer By the same author who gave us Percy Jackson, comes a new series focusing on Norse mythology. Surviving on the streets after his mother passed away, Magnus Chase is encountered by his uncle. His uncle Randalph tells him the truth: Norse mythology is real and Magnus is the son of Frey, the god of peace, fertility, and the summer. Before he can even process this new revelation, Magus is told that the gods are preparing for battle against giants and trolls. According the legend, this battle is prophesied to lead toward Ragnarok (the battle to end all battles, the end of the world, the end times). To prevent Ragnarok from happening, Magnus must travel through the nine realms of the world tree to find a weapon that is powerful enough to stop it. What is the weapon and where is it?

Blackwell Pages series by K.L Armstrong and M.A. Marr (book/e-book/audio CD/e-audio)-
Loki's WolvesThis story takes place in a small town called Blackwell in South Dakota. However, there is something very special about its residence: everyone in the town is a direct descendant of either Thor or Loki (the Norse god of mischief and brother of Thor). The sleepy town of Blackwell suddenly wakes up when they find out Ragnarok is coming. It is up to Matt, Laurie, and Fen to find Thor's hammer (Mjlonir) and shield in order to prevent the end of the world!






The Story of Owen by E.K. Johnston (book/e-book)-
The Story of OwenAstray from Norse mythology, this hero is set out to prove himself just like Thor. Owen Thorskard is a sixteen-year-old boy who appear to be normal but he actually comes from a long line of dragon slayers. Owen moves into the town of Trondheim to save the town from any dragon threats!
