The Mighty Thor

What would it be like for a myth to walk among men? Thor, Prince of the mystical world of Asgard, is set to become King. But Thor is arrogant and impulsive. So to teach his son a lesson, Odin Allfather banishes Thor to Earth, where the God of Thunder will be forced to learn humility and compassion. Only there, among men, will Thor learn to be truly mighty!
