It's written by Cates who also writes Thors solo series as we know and Knulls known weaknesses are lightning, power cosmic and magic... it's like Cates purposefully made it all just to perfectly fit Thor, so the chances of Thor being "wrecked" are next to minimal, he will lose obviously since he has to, but he will do really well against Knull i wouldn't be surprised if Knull even ends up needing to cheat to win, either way Thor will do better against Knull than anyone else will in the series apart from probably Dylan himself at the very end of the event.
This isn't Aaron, under who Thor would be an incompetent punching bag that would need Jane to swoop in and save him.
Wait, what? Why ordinary old lightning? I don't get it. There are so many more powerful forms of energy, many of which yield the same effect of an electrostatic discharge (e.g., superheated plasma, electromagnetic radiation, blackbody radiation, antimatter, etc. ) . That's a head scratcher. So I take it when Knull killed a Celestial, it didn't fight back? Because I'm pretty sure a Celestial can unleash any and all of those forms of energy, including lightning.
Also, is that power cosmic (meaning run of the mill cosmic energy) or the Power Cosmic (i.e., Galactus' brand of cosmic energy)?
Anyway, I think you're right. With those vulnerabilities, Knull is living on borrowed time. Way too many beings on the planet, or within Earth's sphere of influence that can generate massive amounts of lightning, magic or cosmic power/Power Cosmic.

it seems Valkyrie's beatdown is a copy paste from Ragnarok.
the villain who beats them all also seems to be female as well.
it wouldn't surprise me if it's Hela.
all for that MCU synergy...

It seems Thor will most likely get a beat down from Hulk once more.
There is a beautiful page spread where he punches the hell out of Thor.
Probably Ewing's doing.

I don't have problems with writers favoring the characters they're writing. But if Ewing has Hulk knock Thor out again, then that's "a jump the shark" moment (although that shark has been jumped with Hulk fracturing Thor's skull in the first place).
My own issue is that Thor with the OF shouldn't be on the Avengers. A guy that just recently killed Galactus and nuked the Black Winter single handedly shouldn't be an Avenger.
Not to mention, the guy's the frigging kind of Asgard, he shouldn't be spending much time on Earth if at all. Unless he moves Asgard to Earth again.
not just Thor but Avengers in general.
this will be the fifth or sixth time Avengers are used as hype tools in less than 2 years with two (apparently this will be in Immortal Hulk) being Hulk exclusive.
I'm glad for Hulk fans but still...
even if he is amped by TOBA, it's still too much.
he did have Power Cosmic alongside OF but I understand what you mean.My own issue is that Thor with the OF shouldn't be on the Avengers. A guy that just recently killed Galactus and nuked the Black Winter single handedly shouldn't be an Avenger.
