Marvel Comics First Issues Coming In August 2017

I don’t know about you but I am kind of amazed that we are already here in August. With that being said there are some really big items launching this month for the Marvel side of the fence and as in the past here are the first issues coming out this month. Images and the press copy come from their sources and I will close us out with some thoughts on the bunch. Here we go.

“Generations: The Unworthy Thor and The Mighty Thor” #1

GENERATIONS: THE UNWORTHY THOR & THE MIGHTY THOR #1: HER HAMMER, HIS AX: A WORTHY APOCALYPSE. When a battle goes south, Thor finds herself in ancient Egypt – facing a young Odinson! A misguided party of Vikings has bitten off way more than they can spear. But when the prince of Asgard answers their cries for help, he ends up in a fight no axe alone can win! And Apocalypse is not one for mercy. Can a not-yet-worthy god and a time-lost hero take on one of the world’s most powerful mutants at the height of his empire? And what does their encounter mean for the future of two Thors? One-shot.
