I was never the cool kid who read all the comic books, I have read a few as a kid, but my knowledge of all things super heroes is mostly based on my love of the super hero movies and internet trivia. I was obsessed with the DC movies of Michael Keaton days and of course Christian Bale was a nice homage, but then DC just started making shitty movies and no body ever talk to me about Ben Affleck ever ugh. But thank God for Marvel, I was obsessed with Xmen franchise and never thought I would care a...

Wow.So that's why Asgard ended up floating above Oklahoma?Love it, love the context, love Donald Blake being an actual person, Thor a different, and the explanation for what's happened since Ragnarok. The art is solid, and I really enjoyed the storytelling.Best part? Thor kicking the ever loving shit out of Iron Man and daring him to come at him again.Then the reveals of Heimdall, the Warriors Three, and of course...Loki and the Destroyer.So,jazzed for this to continue.

This is why I named my dog Thor.

When I was kid in a small town in the ’70s long before I’d heard of comic book stores, and the idea that I would one day be able to order collections of comics via a computer and have it delivered to my doorstep would have seemed like something from a sci-fi story, my only steady source of superhero goodness was at my local grocery store. The problem was that the store only sold Marvel comics as a 3-pack sealed in a plastic bag. I was allowed to get one of these packs a week. (I think they sold

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 a...

Ok, I'm a little surprised that I liked this as much as I did, because...well, it's Thor. Now, I've always liked him in the Avengers, but I wasn't sure how well that would translate into his own comic (for me, anyway). I mean, he wears a helmet with wings on it, for God's sake. Not teeny-tiny wings, either. Huge I-Believe-I-Can-Fly wings. Wings. On. His. Helmet. Alright, I'm getting off the subject. The story line was actually really good! I'm sure I didn't catch every subtle reference in the s...

Thor, Vol. 1 !!! In the movies, Thor is one of my favorite people. So when I saw this volume on Prime Reading. I HAD TO HAVE IT. I loved this way more than I expected. Seriously, it was so good. I loved the stories, every one of them, I just love the characters. I wanted some Sif. I LOVE SIF. But even though she wasn't around, she got mentioned lots and that gave me all the feels. Ooops.

I love this. These 6 issues of Thor are amazing. The art by Coipel is something else and JMS manages to bring Thor back in to the modern MU that makes sense and is in keeping with the current continuity. A lot of what's here made it into the first Thor film, and it's easy to see why. Damn good comics.

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 Doct...

3.5 stars. And enjoyable volume. Really liked the meet up between Thor and Iron man. Yeah what Tony did with Thor’s dna in Civil War was pretty jacked up so I understand Thor’s 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 I’ll be doing some research on where to find where all that went down.Anyway like I said, not perf...

Okay so here we go. Another Thor first volume. This time I went back, past Jason Aaron to J. Michael Stacynski run and...well it's actually pretty fun! Thor has returned to earth after being in the void for so long. His human like vessle (I'm a bit confused by this Blake stuff myself. Sorry, not big into Thor) and so he returns. However, coming back to earth he sees that Asgard is no more and all his people are gone. So he slowly begins to awaken his friends in various places around the world to...

A second super solid Thor series (along with God of Thunder by Jason Aaron). Fun with very interesting possibilities on story direction.

7.5/10Straczynski and Coipel created something good here. You can really understand that Thor is a God and not just any superhero, something that not all the Thor arcs do very well.

I was mildly entertained until about halfway into this collection, where it picked up when Thor confronts Ironman. Call me shallow, but I mostly know these guys through the recent movies and I dig Robert Downey Jr.Thor's outfit is the hardest to get used to. I know, it's the original one, but I have Chris Hemsworth stuck on my brain, without the dorky helmet.So, comic... I like the vibrant colours and the artwork in general. The story, as mentioned, is mildly entertaining. The plot is ok, but no...

In five years of catching up on all the glories if the Marvel universe, I've paid no attention whatsoever to Thor or Straczynski. Much to my chagrin, this is a great story - a clever and believable way to reboot the ancient and crufty Thor/Marvel mythology, a well as a very enjoyable and rewarding read. Some very funny moments in the writing and the art. Oh yes, the art. Not the hyper-realistic stuff of the most epic Captain America, but the slightly exaggerated approach is very well executed, a...

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 some...

This is a pretty good story! This story comes from J. Michael Straczynski, who wrote Superman Earth One and also the script for the first Thor Movie. I'll tell you from the beginning this story shocked even me, more as in i didn't know Asgardians could do that! The basic plot is Thor is resurrecting all the Asgardians that fell from a previous battle, and hes just trying to restart Asgard, i won't spoil much but this is a very good book, beautiful artwork, great story and a great jumping point f...

This was SO GOOD!After Ragnarok, the Norse Gods/Asgardians are scattered in mortal bodies on Earth and its about Thor going there and rescuing his people and getting ahold of his new lease on life. He settles in Oklahoma and makes peace with Donald Blake and there is a beast moment where he fights Iron Man and that one is so cool, the way he just up and shoots him and shows him his place and then Heimdall and Warriors 3 and a big twist with Loki and the ending wow!This volume was really cool and...

When it comes to the Marvel Superheroes I am far more '70's & '80's orientated and to be honest Thor did not figure on my radar. However my oldest daughter pushed me in seeing both Thor movies and I must say that I kind of enjoyed both of them and found them palatable. Thor in this comic, bought by me for the daughter in question, tickled my interest and I kind of took it upon my self to read it. Thor and Asgard have fallen after Ragnarok and are no longer in existence. And as anything in MARVEL...
