Thor (T) The Collector! I am a big fan of 'big dog fights' in comics; goes all the way back to the conversations I had as a small boy I guess. Keep in mind that T is one of the few characters who can create dimensional 'rifts' - only a matter of time before he gets involved with more cosmic level threats in the future (and past).
Creo que ya he dicho antes que Thor no es de mis personajes favoritos y sus historias en general me aburren hasta los límites de la galaxia, y pensé que esta sería otra historia aburrida, siendo que empezó un poco lenta, pero al final me terminó gustando. Me gustaron particularmente los tonos de ciencia ficción clásica que tiene, esa es la versión de Thor que más disfruto, con personajes raros y coloridos.El arte de Choi, como ya han dicho muchos, es muy bueno, aunque por momentos las expresione...

The artwork and the lettering saved this story. The art by Mike Choi was fantasticly beautiful. I only finished it because of the art. And the lettering (I know what you are thinking, who cares about letters but in this case it really was a strong point) was nicely done by Joe Caramagna. I liked his touches and they added to the story. And besides when was the last time someone thanked the letterer. They work just as hard. This story only really works as a Silver Surfer story. Since when does Th...
What really stands out about this one is the beautiful painted art. This one features Thor caught in the middle of two living planets, Ego and Alter Ego. We also have appearances by The Stranger, The Collector and also a mysterious Goddess from Thor's past. Overall this was a cosmic adventure that suited Thor perfectly as the character always seems at his best when in epic situations.
Bueno, este es uno de esos cómics que parecen (no digo que lo sean) completamente descolgado de cualquier atisbo de continuidad o importancia para el personaje. Aunque este tipo de obras no suelen ser de mi agrado, tengo que admitir que muchas veces son un buen recurso para que un guionista que tenga algo que decir sobre el personaje pueda explayarse sin los límites que la continuidad y el universo Marvel imponen (un ejemplo perfecto de esto podría ser Spiderman: Historia de vida de Chip Zdarsky...
Strange story with lot of patos, bad dialogues and not very pleasing art.
(This review may contain spoilers).Having grown to know Thor during the course of the Marvel movies and many of the comics I've read so far, I was quite excited to be able to find another volume of Thor-centric comics.Although I didn't get much of a chance to see the other Avengers, it was good to get a glimpse of Asgard... or, rather, what was left of it; though I was somewhat confused by what had destroyed Asgard.I liked the opportunity to have glimpses of Thor's past and his irresponsibility....
Este es uno de los saldos con los que me hice en el pasado salón del cómic de Getxo. Hasta ahora no le había echado un ojo, y tras haberlo hecho me parece justo que estuviera saldado, porque desde luego los 15€ de precio oficial, no los merece ni de lejos.Tenemos aquí una historia corta y cerrada en la que nos largamos de Midgard y de Asgard, aunque pisamos ambos, para irnos a planos mas cósmicos en una historia sin mucho interés mas allá del par de detalles que comento a continuación. Por un la...
After reading this book you will realize you just read a book about planets threatening each other and then attempting to murder each other. Planets not people on the planets but the planets themselves, and that is awesome.
Entretenida y olvidable.
The God of Thunder senses a cosmic force putting undue stress upon Midgard. These emanations remind Thor of an old flame, the celestial being Zephyr and the Asgardian seeks to stop her wraith upon the earth. While Thor locates Zephyr, he discovers that she is as much as a pawn in this astronomical event as he is. The entire universe is in peril as the living planet, Ego has learned that he has a brother, Alterego! But this will not be a joyful reunion as both planets want to be the only child.
Basically The Stranger has a small experiment going on, but because of the grand scale of it, Thor sticks his hammer where it doesn't belong. The plot is pretty simple but it all wraps up in the last issue in such a.. magnificent way. If it wasn't for the last issue I would of been shrugging my shoulders at what I just read. It's really something different, more of a Tales of.. no, a tale from Journey into Mystery. What's affecting earth and causing tidal waves? and flashback to Thor's early day...
Aunque no me pareció una completa pérdida de tiempo, tampoco lo recomendaría. Es de esa clase de historias que simplemente no destacan por nada y que tampoco parecen estar relacionadas con nada. Puede que me equivoque en esto último porque no he leído todo lo relacionado con Thor o Ego, pero me dio la impresión de que se trataba de un tomo autoconclusivo.La historia es un poco... ridícula. En lugar de bebés separados al nacer hay planetas separados al "nacer", en concreto, Ego y Alterego. Ego no...
Take a classic Lee/Kirby epic story arc, and give it an Alex Ross-like quality drawing: you’ll have an astonishingly good read. Another blast of a tale using one of my least favorite Marvel heroes. The drawing is breathtaking, the story grandiose and at the same time silly. But a must read for any Marvel fan.
The Astonishing aspect of this book is the beautiful artwork throughout by Mike Choi.Points for making a strange tale involving a handful of the immortal "Celestials" mess with each other. I always hope to find more good stories with these characters, and after recently reading a few books with Champion, Eternity, and to a lesser extent, Infinity and the Chaos/Order twins, it was fun to see the Stranger, the Collector, and Ego the Living Planet entwined in a plot and manipulating one another. If...
Robert Rodi's story is, well, pretty lame. I'm not sure why Thor was even involved. The antagonists were lame. There were so many cosmic high and mighties that nothing seemed to matter. Zephyr was unimportant but Rodi wanted her to be important. This book was more about the art of Mike Choi. It was very good. Overall, a truly unfulfilling read.
Una buona avventura, ben scritta, che recupera un personaggio degli anni '70 praticamente dimenticato ma affascinante. Peccato per i disegni do Choi non sempre all'altezza e per i colori, eccessivamente saturi.
The art is nice, but the story is too thin for five issues and not told in an interesting manner. I like Robert Rodi's work as a general rule, but this just fell flat.
