The Unworthy Thor, Issue #5 concludes the limited series. Odinson finds the other Mjolnir, wields it, and returns Asgard to its place in the universe. The big question is whether the other Mjolnir calls for him; it doesn't, so he leaves it on the ground on Asgard, where it waits for the person to whom it calls. Thor continues on with his battle axe and his talking canine, freed from the Collector, along with the Collector's other creatures.
I'll admit it; I was swerved by the ending. I thought Odinson would ride off into the sunset with his new Mjolnir and become regular old Thor again. The story ties into an earlier story where the God Butcher tells then-Thor that all the gods are Unworthy. Odinson realizes that he must remain unworthy, perhaps to become worthy in the future. The story will be continued in Ultimate Thor. I have read a few Thor limited series and series, but I've never been a huge fan, although Jason Aaron is starting to turn me around.
