This afternoon saw the reveal for the next major arc in Jason Aaron’s Thor: God of Thunder.

“The Accursed” sees the return of long-incarcerated Malekith, former lord of the Dark Elves. But Svartalfheim has changed since their wicked taskmaster disappeared, banished to an extra-dimensional prison. Are they so willing to accept Malekith and join him on a worlds-wide revenge spree? It’s a hunt that takes Thor, Sif, the Warriors Three and a host of new comrades through many of the Nine Realms. It also comes just in time for Thor: The Dark World‘s theatrical debut and its theatrical introduction to Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) and his loathsome armies.

Unfortunately, fan favorite Esad Ribic will be taking a breather for an unspecified time, sitting out this entire five issue arc. In his staid, the very capable Ron Garney, who previously collaborated with Aaron on Wolverine and Ultimate Comics Captain America.

It all starts in September with Thor: God of Thunder #13.
