Fear Itself #7 saw the death of Thor, and Fear Itself #7.2 saw the introduction of his replacement, Tanarus. The weird thing was that as soon as he appeared, everyone forgot about Thor and it was this "new" God of Thunder who suddenly had years of history in the Marvel Universe. While this is undoubtedly a temporary change (well, here's hoping anyway) a preview of The Mighty Thor #8 reveals that writer Matt Fraction has some very mysterious plans for the title.
Who is Tanarus, and why is he the new God of Thunder?
Many thanks to Comic Book Resources for the following preview.
