Thor Odinson is the All-father of Asgard /God of Thunder, offspring of All-Father Odin & Elder-Goddess Gaea.

The mightiest and the most beloved warrior in all of Asgard, a staunch ally for good and one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse/omniverse. Thor is also a founding member of the Avengers.
Thor's Eyes
"Ok now that I know Thor got his eyes back. How did he get them back? "
I would have to guess that when dealing with things in the realm of Gods, not everything should be seen in such a literal interpretation.
Granted, the act of ripping out his eyes was physical in nature and appeared to cause him pain, but it was also symbolic in nature as well.
Another explanation could simply be that Mjolnir has shown the power to heal in the past so the Odin force most likely could as well.
Although most likely it came about with the rebirth. Thor had severed the ties of fate and brought about Ragnarok as well as breaking the cycle.
He was detroyed and reborn. He entered the sleep of Gods and then returned from the void.
I can only assume that his true form was restored during the same process that returned him from the Odin Sleep.
Why Didn't Odins eye ever grow back then?

Agreed. To much girlification going on in comics.

As far as Odin's eyes ... if it is a result of the destruction and rebirth from the cycle of the most recent "end of days" in Ragnarok,
then this is something that Odin and Thor didn't share. Thor challenged and destroyed "Those Who Sit Above In Shadow" and severed the ties of fate at Ygdrassil.
Thor was the first to ever break this cycle. In doing so, Thor had surpassed every King of Asgard that had come before him.
So it could be said that Thor's eyes returned because of this "new dawn" that Thor had envisioned and recreated that had never been before. Odin had never achieved or witnessed this in the past.
This is a great distinction that separates the two ... as well as the only one I can think of that would explain it.
Of course this is just my theory on it ... unless it was literally explained some other way in the comics that I missed.
I also agree ... that Thor picture posted up top has Thor looking a bit too femme.
It appears the artist used influence from Japanese Manga style ... guess that would explain it if that's the case.

Thor was drawn effeminate because the artist wanted him to look effeminate. It is a distrurbing trend in comics and has been for some time with certain artists.
" @Formidable: I second that motion "Thanks, Larkin. Too much physical "effemination" going on in comics imo. I'm Glad there are others that agree.

Yeah ... ? ... ummm ... if you actually read what I wrote, I explained pretty clearly that this was a theory of mine that could be a reasonable explanation for it ...
but that it was never actually given a clear answer in the comics as far as I know. So repeating that it was speculation on my part is kind of unecessary ...
