Its Thor, hes great as always. Its always nice seeing Dr. Blake too!One thing Ill say is that Straczynski did write this as a Thor fan and it definitely shines through! Its always great when the writer is a fan of the character.I was never a fan of norse gods within the Marvel Universe because it was just a little too strange, despite the writer/artist teams pulling it off time after time. It just bothered me that other pantheons weren't invited, you know? I think it'd be very interesting to have Kali devour the world at one point or another while Krishna dances his blue self across incarnations. So Thor died. As always, beloved superheroes have to return... so Thor does. It is the time after the Civil War, and
Thor has returned to life after the fall of Asgard because of Ragnorak and he intends to defend the Earth while restoring Asgard.It seems the world wasn't done with Thor after all and he's returned to set things right as best as he can. First off he has a discussion with Tony Stark regarding using his DNA to clone him. The God of Thunder made sure his point got across.Personally I find Thor bland and because of that I wasn't particularly into reading his return. It's not bad, but not really
A deeply impressive reboot. Or rebirth, more appropriately. Thor, and all the Asgardians, were really, truly, legitimately dead in the Marvel U. How to bring them back? Huge props to JMS for how he does handle it. No take backs, no cheap tricks, and no easy routes. The rebirth of the Asgardians is a long, sometimes painful process. It rings true, and though I'm sure the (then still in pre-production) Thor movie helped convince Marvel to bring the god of thunder back, it reads as more than just
3.5 stars. And enjoyable volume. Really liked the meet up between Thor and Iron man. Yeah what Tony did with Thors dna in Civil War was pretty jacked up so I understand Thors anger. Epic sequence there. Also Coipels art is awesome. I was a little lost as to why Thor was in this void, why Asgard needed rebuilding and why and the Asgardians were gone which took a little away from the story. I guess Ill be doing some research on where to find where all that went down.Anyway like I said, not perfect
A second super solid Thor series (along with God of Thunder by Jason Aaron). Fun with very interesting possibilities on story direction.
3.5 starsAlthough it won't supplant Thor, The Mighty Avenger: Complete Collection by Langridge / Samnee (much recommended - I really loved that book!) as my favorite tome featuring the Son of Odin, Straczynski's Thor, Vol. 1 certainly had its moments. Between the numerous action scenes and the gentle humor of Thor moving the kingdom of Asgard to America's heartland, there was a great moment in the exact middle of the volume. Dr. Don Blake (Thor's human alter ego) is participating in a noble
