The image above to the left is an illustration from Thor: God of Thunder, written by Jason Aaron and drawn by artist Esad Ribic, with Thor mourning the death of Falligar the Behemoth.

Aaron served as a creative consultant on Love and Thunder, and the movie draws heavily on his Thor comics, including a series of stories where Jane Foster acquires Thor’s hammer and becomes the Mighty Thor herself.
