I've been waiting quite a while to get my hands on all 5 of these issues, and Marvel Unlimited finally came through for me!Most of this story was worth the wait! Loved the new chick, loved the politics on Asgard, loved Maaal...Maleket...the badass dark elf's part in everything, and loved how Thor reacted for the most part.So, Thor lost his worthiness to wield Mjolnir at the end of Original Sins. And nobody knows what the hell Fury whispered in his ear that caused him to drop it, but Thor has bee...
Do I have issues with "Thor" being a title instead of name? Yes. (Like, if someone nicks my magic colostomy bag, they're not going to run around calling themselves "Sean" just because they have something that once belonged to me...and, frankly, if someone's weird enough to steal a colostomy bag, magic or not, I think we can come up with far better nicknames for them.)I mean, the inscription says "Whosoever holds this hammer, if (s)he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." The POWER of Thor...
Ever since the events of Original Sin, Thor has been on the moon trying to lift his hammer. It seems someone else had done what Thor and Odin could not. So there is a new Thor. A woman who just happened to show up on the moon when all of Asgardia went home. I have to say I've never been a fan of Thor and giving his hammer to a woman makes no difference to me. Thor and Asgard and all that stuff just aren't very interesting. Anyway I wish they didn't make a new super hero by giving them another h...
I was really looking forward to this. Aaron's done a great job writing Thor for a long time now, and I was interested in seeing female Thor. I was not at all disappointed. If anything, this is even better than Aaron's previous Thor work.The new Thor (whose identity is still a mystery at the end of the volume) is absolutely the star, and I loved her. There's no question that she's worthy of Mjolnir. She's determined, wield the hammer well (it's implied that Mjolnir is actively aiding her), and sh...
I really enjoyed this as a follow on from the God of thunder run. They handled the handover to the female Thor really well and the whole story is packed with great action. In this volume we see the return of Malekeith the accursed trying to retrieve a powerful artefact from Midgard (of course where else?!) along with the ice Giants. Female Thor turns up and everyone is a bit confused as male Thor is still sitting on the moon because he couldn't lift Mjolnir because of the secrets Fury learned fr...
There is a new THOR in town! To tell you the truth i wasn't very sure of what to expect from this new comic series. I love THOR, the real one, with the bulging muscles and the red cape but this new Goddess was an absolute delight too.Thor lost his Mjölnir after Nick Fury whispered something(?!) in his ear -yeah, i know weird and tacky way to make Thor unworthy- and even though he spends all his time trying to make it cooperate again that's just not happening. So after a while someone is bound to...
I have to admit, I haven't read a whole lot of Thor comics. I also didn't think I was going to care for this one since I'm not really a supporter of the whole "title handoff" that Marvel has been doing with Captain America and Thor (more recently Wolverine). BUT, I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised by both this and All-New Wolverine, Vol. 1: The Four Sisters. I really, truly liked this. This and Thor: God of Thunder, Vol. 1: The God Butcher are my favorite Thor stories to date. I look f...
Thor, Volume 1: The Goddess of Thunder (Thor (2014) #1), Jason AaronThe God of Thunder is unworthy, and Mjolnir lies on the moon, unable to be lifted! But when Frost Giants invade Earth, a new hand will grasp the hammer--and a mysterious woman will take up the mantle of the mighty Thor! Her identity is secret to even Odin, but she may be Earth's only hope against the Frost Giants. Get ready for a Thor like you've never seen before as this all-new heroine takes Midgard by storm! Plus: The Odinson...
I am a big fan of girl power. I like the thought of a woman Asgardian, but Thor is a name and this title really shifted that to a title. I get doing something new, but the whole taking over the hammer thing and calling her Thor was weird. Why not call her Jane or whatever. Anyway.Despite the weirdness with how this was done, it was a fun little book and Lady Thor can really kick butt. I'm saying Lady Thor as Thor is a guy and it's too confusing to call them the same thing. The guy Thor has been
“Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of THOR.”Or she.The events of the latest crossover have left the mighty Thor unworthy in Mjolnir’s judgement so the hammer is just sitting on the surface of the moon. Then when frost giants rise out of the ocean’s depth and Thor tries to stop them he gets his arm chopped off by the dark elf Malekith. Talk about a bad dayFortunately, there’s a mysterious lady who can wield the hammer as the new Thor.Thor is a character that I
I read the first two issues of this comic in a class I was teaching. The focus was on the shift to more representations of women in comics of all kinds, so we read She-Hulk, women's memoirs, Ms. Marvel, a few other things online, and this. Early on, in those issues, we were just getting into this shift, but we most of us liked it a lot. The thing I most admire about this is that he is a Thor scholar, this Aaron. he's done young Thor and other traditionally male Thors, and knows the lore as well
"What the hell kind of Thor are you?" - Crusher 'Absorbing Man' Creel, bad guy"The kind who just broke your jaw!" KRRRUNG! (a punch to the face) - Thor, Goddess of ThunderAnother successful bid by Marvel Comics to update their legendary name characters (see also Miles Morales as Spider-Man, Amadeus Cho as Hulk, Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel, etc.) for a 21st century audience, this introductory volume shows our new Thor "worthy" of wielding Mjolnir during an undersea adventure. I particularly liked
Really loved this! It was everything I'd hoped for in a Thor comic. And now I need the next volume. "BRING ME ANOTHER!" *crash*
two stars ∗
I!!!! LOVED!!!!! THIS!!!!!!! SO!!!!!!!!!!! MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!The transition from the Thor everyone knows to the new female Thor was done so seamlessly and fits the universe so well, oh man. Also female Thor is so great, I love her little though bubbles as she's trying to figure out exactly how to navigate being the new Thor. Everything about this was just so awesome and I cannot express how excited I am to see where Thor's story is going to go!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved this re-invention of Thor in a way. Great artwork and colourwork. Aaron creates a great story which is both intriguing and fun. Looks like the storyline ends after Vol 2, so a conclusion must be written. Definitely a great Thor novel, my 1st introduction into the character but my 2nd Aaron novel. Great stuff!!
"Whosoever holds the hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of... Thor" – inscription on the side of Mjolnir. In the Marvel event comic Original Sin, a secret was whispered to Thor in the midst of a battle – a secret that made him unworthy of his enchanted hammer, Mjolnir! The hammer now rests on the surface of the moon, unmoved by Thor and even its creator, Odin. Freyja, the All Mother, has been running Asgard while Odin has been watching over his imprisoned brother – but now he’s ret...
Let's be honest, the plot itself plays second fiddle to the fact that this is Female. Thor.The big draw of this series is so far (after just one volume granted) its biggest flaw for me. It plays so much on the fact that she's female - and that the males around her are sexist, pig headed oafs - that that BECOMES the story. Everyone thinks her puny, there's comments on her being 'Thor' and not 'Thorina' or something equally as rubbish, there's talk of Feminism and a female villain even surrenders
3.5? I guess? This book was not made for me and that's just fine. It's still a good book. Just not one I got super invested in. Jorge Molina's art is freaking gorgeous! I am in love with the way he draws the Thors. I mean, who wouldn't want to find themselves in a Thor sandwich? This guy should draw everything, in my opinion. So, I went into this wanting to love it because dudebros threw bitchfits over a female Thor and it was sad. If you can't take another version of your favorite hero existing...
Oops, never wrote a review back when I read this in the Summer of '18.Short version: highly entertaining, great potential to explore with the character of Jane Foster and this new incarnation of "Thor".#Worthy
