Unworthy Thor: Marvel Releases First Look at Disgraced Thunder God

Thor, the immortal, Asgardian god of thunder, will be disgraced and judged unworthy to wield Mjolnir. Stripped of the hammer and his ceremonial costume, it's hard to say just what his new mission will be...but he's seen above (and in some teaser images elsewhere, albeit in shadows) wielding Jarnbjorn, the Dwarven forged battle axe wielded by Thor in his "unworthy" years in Thor: God of Thunder.

He also seems to have lost an arm, and had it replaced. Whether that will be tied to this axe or some other weapon isn't yet clear.
