Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #3 (2022)
In Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #3 (2022), the battle against the cosmic threat intensifies as Jane Foster, once again wielding Mjolnir, confronts the reality-bending villain that has put both Earth and Asgard at risk. With the fate of the realms hanging in the balance, Jane must push herself further than ever before, not only physically but emotionally as well, to stand against an enemy that threatens to unravel the very fabric of existence.
The issue begins with Jane facing the full power of the cosmic entity she encountered in the previous issue. This being, a dark force tied to ancient prophecies and reality manipulation, continues to wreak havoc across multiple dimensions. Jane, struggling with her dual identity as both a doctor and the Mighty Thor, is forced to confront her own fears about her place in the universe—questions of worthiness, power, and sacrifice cloud her thoughts.
Despite her growing doubts, Jane continues to wield Mjolnir with fierce determination. However, this time, the fight becomes more personal. The cosmic entity begins to target those closest to Jane, using her friends and loved ones as leverage to break her spirit. In a heart-wrenching sequence, Jane must choose between saving the people she loves and saving the realms, with no easy solution in sight.
The issue also delves deeper into the mythology surrounding the Mighty Thor mantle, with Jane learning more about her connection to the gods of Asgard and her own role in a much larger cosmic struggle. She begins to realize that her journey is not just about wielding Mjolnir, but about understanding the true nature of heroism and sacrifice.
By the end of the issue, Jane is faced with a crucial decision: will she continue to stand alone in this fight, or will she finally accept help from other heroes? Her emotional journey reaches a new height as she finally begins to accept her own vulnerability, setting the stage for the upcoming battles. The threat may be far from over, but Jane is more determined than ever to prove her worth as the Mighty Thor.
