Seventeen-year-old  New Yorker Jyl Talley lives in a group home for orphans and works two jobs while attending High School. One night, she turns the corner of a dark alley and finds Thor battling flying spider demons. Jason Aaron revisits his mighty Thor saga to deliver a compelling portrait of Jane Foster defying her cancer and how witnessing our heroes' struggles can empower our daily lives.

Art

Pepe Larraz and Alejandro Sánchez convey Jyl’s dark and gritty existence. She inhabits subways, dark alleys, and restaurant kitchens, but the teenager rarely studies the world around her. Thor's explosive battle transforms her existence in Marvel Age #1000. Breathtaking, transformative art shall smite thee as powerfully as it does Jyl.
