    I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to Thor. I was wondering if anyone could tell me when and what series/Issue, Thor is told or discovers his mother is the Elder Godess Gaea? Is this news made a big deal of in Thor's life? And does he actually get to meet her? Also, in your opinions, would you say it is worth buying the series/issue in a trade paperback?  
     
    Thanks :)

    I believe that its issue #300, so a biggie. Its a pretty massive issue and reveal. He does indeed met her in the same issue, and in a dramatic fashion as well. If you are a Thor fan? Then definitely. 
     
    You can buy it collected in Thor The Eternals Saga. VOL 2, or get that and VOL 1 for an even more epic story,

    Yes, Gaea revealed herself as Thor's mother in "Thor" #300, but the story of how this came to be was actually covered in #301.

    Here are some more. This site has a rule against too many scans from one issue so I edited some pages a bit so I could include more scenes, oh and of course I recommend for those of you don't that have a TPB /copy etc, its way more satisfying to read the entire issue, if you can track it down etc etc, amazing story, issue, saga etc, oh and spoilers for below as well if you don't want to read segments.

    If Odin and company were wiser they would have got some help before the Host returned.

    @Hi I'm New: 
    No, Gaea was Zeus's grandmother.  So I think it makes him Zeus's uncle.  Just about all the pantheons are in some way or another related through Gaea so they are all one big family.  Trying to figure out that family tree is a head ache.  For the Greeks alone Thor would be half-brother to all of the first-generation Titans, uncle to the first generation Olympians and second-generation Titans, and a great-uncle to the second-generation Olympians.  So Thor is Hercules's great-uncle.  Let's not even try to get started on incorporating the other pantheons into this. :)
