Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #2 (2022)
In Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #2 (2022), the stakes rise as Jane Foster, once again wielding the power of Mjolnir as the Mighty Thor, faces a new cosmic threat that could change the balance of power in the realms. The issue picks up with Jane battling against a celestial force unlike anything she has ever faced before. The villainous presence is devastating, wreaking havoc in the heart of New York City, and threatening to spread destruction far beyond the Earth.
As Jane struggles to protect innocent lives while combating this overwhelming new threat, her internal conflict continues to simmer. The weight of being both a doctor and a god begins to take a heavier toll on her—especially as the mysterious force wreaks havoc across the city. The emotional tension between her heroic responsibilities and her desire to lead a normal life becomes more evident. As the Mighty Thor, Jane’s powers are stretched to their limits, and her sense of purpose is questioned.
The new enemy, a cosmic being tied to a dark prophecy, proves to be an even greater challenge than she anticipated. This force is not just after physical destruction—it seeks to manipulate and twist reality itself, bending it to its will.
