Marvel released a preview of What If…? Donald Duck Became Thor #1 by Steve Behling, Riccardo Secchi, Lorenzo Pastrovicchio, Lucio Ruvidotti, and Laura Tartaglia. It begins with Donald already as Thor, attempting and failing to fly with Mjolnir. We’re then taken back in time as Donald Duck, Huey, Duey, and Louie head to Norway in search of ancient Viking relics. The triplets want the medal for ancient Viking relics explorers so they can be the first Junior Woodchucks to achieve it.

After doing some unsuccessful digging, Donald Duck breaks his hammer and stabs himself in the foot. When Donald tries to walk it off, we see a spaceship land in the dirt, with its contents a mystery until the issue goes on sale later this week.
