Jane Foster has been the wielder of Mjolnir since 2014, but now it looks like her time as the the Goddess of Thunder will come to an end in 2018. Mighty Thor #705 will see the conclusion of “The Death of the Mighty Thor” storyline from writer Jason Aaron and artist Russell Dauterman. No doubt, it will bring a great change to Marvel Comics.
Here’s the official synopsis of Mighty Thor #705.
Since kicking things off with MIGHTY THOR #700, the Mangog has managed to wreak havoc on Thor’s world, and he’s shown no signs of stopping – even in a saga that has so far managed to include almost every Thor villain. On the heels of the action, MIGHTY THOR #705 will continue to up the ante, leaving the fate of Asgard in jeopardy…along with the fate of Jane Foster, who will make the ultimate heroic sacrifice in a conclusion that will rock the Marvel Universe, and the minds of readers everywhere!
“This is it, folks! The big showdown between Thor and Mangog. The penultimate chapter of ‘The Death of the Mighty Thor,’” teased series editor Wil Moss in a press release. “Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman have been building to this issue for over three years, and you absolutely do not want to miss this. You may think you know where things are going, but I promise you do not.”

Jane Foster was one of Thor Odinson’s first love interests who has appeared in the comics on and off for decades. After years of not being in any spotlight she re-emerged after being diagnosed with cancer. After the events of Original Sin, which made Odinson unworthy to carry Mjolnir, an unidentified female warrior would take the mantle of Thor in his place.
It took over a year before the identity of the new female Thor was revealed to be Jane Foster, but she was not healed of her cancer. Instead, becoming Thor would only weaken her. In her short time as Thor, Jane Foster would join the Avengers as its powerhouse.
