At the start of Donny Cates and Nic Klein's new series centered on the God of Thunder, Thor became Galactus' new herald in order to battle the Black Winter, which destroyed the Devourer of World's original universe. Marvel Comics has now given CBR an exclusive preview of Thor #2 that teases just how deadly the Black Winter actually is and why Galactus is so afraid.

The pages open with the Black Winter sweeping over a city, its dark snow causing those with whom it comes in contact with to dissolve. However, Thor stands against the coming tide of destruction, refusing to back down. You can see CBR's exclusive preview of Thor #2 below alongside the solicitation information for the issue.
