Summary: Spun out of Journey Into Mystery after appearing from issues #83-125.
Thor became one of Marvel's biggest stars in his own title and also in the
Avengers. In 1996, Marvel decided to restart the Avengers, Captain America,
Iron Man and the Fantastic Four and place them in a pocket universe, retelling
their origins. Thor came along, but did not get his own title, appearing only
regularly in the new Avengers series. However his series numbering continued
for a new Journey Into Mystery title which featured Red Norvell and the Lost
Gods of Asgard. In July 1998, after the heroes returned from their own little
universe, Thor got his own series again with a new #1 issue. In 2001, Marvel
began its sub-numbering system with a smaller number indicating what issue it
would be if the series hadn't been relaunched. Thor's sub numbering didn't
count the Journey Into Mystery issues of #503-521, so issue #36 was also #538.
During the Avengers Disassembled storyline, Thor and the gods of Asgard went
through Raganok and all perished along with the title. Thor is due to be relaunched
again at a later date.
