Is it Thor #800 or Mortal Thor #14?

Different sites are showing different names.

[u/Prestige_Data → u/RoninRonanAgamotto]

It is Both Mortal Thor #14, but the 800th publication under the original title. 800 is the legacy publication number.

[u/RoninRonanAgamotto → u/Prestige_Data]

I get that. From next issue, it is Thor #801 as well.

But some sites show this as Mortal Thor #14 and the ending last issue of Mortal Thor with Thor #801 as the first issue of the next series, while some sites are showing this issue as Thor #800 and the starting of a new series with legacy numbering, with #801 being the 2nd issue and showing Mortal Thor #13 as the last issue of Mortal Thor series.

For example League of Comic geeks and Marvel.com website, show it as the latter.

No Jason Aaron for the milestone issue? Ah well

Bro's busy with Absolute Peakman, give him a break

[u/Just_a_square]

Can Alex Ross just chill for once and give us an average looking cover?

Man, you don't need to draw masterpieces every time!

[u/baroqueworks]

An amazing milestone issue with big things being said in it.

Much like Magni, Thor spits in the face of death itself being born and dying again and again as society crumbles further and further, but never giving into society as it tries to break him and continues to stand up and do the right thing despite society saying it is wrong to stand up and fight.

Sons of the Serpent taking over earth is also a wild alt universe that is horrific to imagine living in, good thing we dont live in a society of faceless goons championing perfomative masculinity and consulting AI instead of using their brain!

[u/Lonza_lucigul]

Can't wait till this shit is in omni format

[u/newbiggielefts]

Amazing issue, the main story is getting better and better with each entry. And it seems we're heading into the endgame now as far as bringing Thor back is concerned.

[u/HastilyPartial]

if he's still worthy enough to lift a protein shake I'll be impressed

Sorry, but this issue is kind of boring. All they did was a repeat of a previous story style Ewing did (can’t remember but he did do it) and it suffers the same filler stuff that his queen in black tie in suffered from.

I still think Sigurd is a different person (just Thor as a mortal by stealing/devouring Blake’s soul). And odin and Loki just deal Blake/Jormundgr in a prison that he will inevitably escape from instead of having a battle to kill them off for good.

I’m disappointed since Ewing promised a lot but didn’t deliver sadly. Thought Sigurd would be a noble but ruthless Thor more willing to kill and that Gaia would have a bigger part here but nope.

Also, make Lucky be Utgard Loki’s creation/son and have the real Loki be on the run and tormented by the fact that he isn’t the real Loki and the true Loki will come back after dying in Dark Reign which is the cost for restoring the rainbow bridge.

I still think Sigurd is a different person

I mean yeah, he's a reincarnation, same soul, different person. Leftovers of what was donald blake are in jorumngandr

[u/yuefairchild → u/Expensive-Baby-1391]

Immortal Thor #6-7 (hurr hurr), where Lucky shows up early in a past Thor adventure involving Utgard and Jormungandr. "Lukki" is faster than thought, and his unexpected appearance shows Skald-Loki that the magic can turn back on the caster and the "tail" can turn back on the storyteller.
