''The War of the Realms'' is a 2019 Creator/MarvelComics {{crisis crossover}}, written by Jason Aaron and drawn by Russell Dauterman, both previously of the [[ComicBook/{{Thor|2014}} Jane Foster era]] of ''Thor''.
War has been raging across the Ten Realms. Led by Malekith, his massive army of Dark Elves has torn through various realms and taken them over. With the Bifrost Bridge destroyed and Heimdall now [[EyeScream blind]] thanks to the Mangog's rampage, ComicBook/{{Thor}} has been unable to directly aid the other realms in battle.
But now, the war has made its way to the final realm — Midgard, also known as Earth— and Thor cannot fight Malekith on his own. It's all-hands-on-deck as the God of Thunder gathers his allies old and new (including ComicBook/TheAvengers, ComicBook/SpiderMan, ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, the Asgardians of The Galaxy, and more) to defend Earth from this invasion.
''War of the Realms'' is the culmination of plot threads started by Aaron since launching his ''Thor: God of Thunder'' title in 2012, as well as his 2013 event series ''ComicBook/OriginalSin'', which led to Odinson being deemed unworthy and Jane Foster replacing him as Goddess of Thunder.
