What a delight. Plays great games with the line between superheroes & gods. High volume action & marvel deep cuts from the past 40 years.
This was so epic omg!So it starts with Jane reforming the League of Realms with some new members and then we focus on them battling the dark elves in Alfheim and its fun and the way they take down their enemies and yeah its a short story and ties into the longer WOTR story.Then the Shi'aar attacking Asgard and taking Jane to meet with their gods Sharra and Kyth'ri and thus we have challenge of the gods and the machinations of Loki behind it and the big battle then and the trials of Jane and what...
The artwork is still as beautiful as ever. However Im finding the story losing its appeal. Im not sure it has much more to tell. I love the Jane Foster angle but it just seems to be bunch of random story arcs, some beginning and some ending and never really being written or developed. Will give the next Vol a read to see if its worth continuing.
Beautiful artwork, as usual, but the story was a little weak in places, unfortunately. The new, female Kurse annoyed me. Just because we have a female Thor doesn't mean we also need female versions of the original Thor's rogues for her to fight! Come on, Marvel, that's just sexist!
I keep waiting for this series to slip and it just hasn't. Great stuff.
I adore this comic book. The background ahead of this volume: The Odinson is now unworthy of wielding the hammer, Mjolnir, and Jane Foster has taken up the mantle of Thor. She's dying of cancer though and the hammer is stopping chemotherapy from working. Dark elf Malekith is on a mission to conquer the ten realms and has support from Loki too. This volume opens with a two-issue story where Thor reforms the League of Realms- a group of creatures from across the realms- to fight Malekith. Their fi...
Ugh, this was lame and dumb. I loved the 2nd volume of this run of Thor, so I was looking forward to this, but some reason the main plot was brought to a screeching halt so that Thor could have some kind of pissing contest with some other gods?? It was boring and felt pointless. I'm curious if this was shoe-horned in for any particular reason (ie. due to bigger Marvel stuff happening or some kind of tie-in?) - I don't keep up with a lot of Marvel publications so that kind of stuff usually goes o...
More fun stuff with Jane Foster as Thor being caught up in the War of the Realms, confronting a couple of jerkface Shi'ar gods, and dealing with the Phoenix force. But not Jean Grey as the Phoenix, which was a relief.
Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman’s once-great Thor series tanks HARD with this turd volume, The Asgard/Shi’Ar War, a boring book full of inconsequential, dull stories. Malekith’s still kicking up a stink with the War of the Realms storyline but that nonsense only lasts for a couple of issues before we get into a useless five issue storyline where Thor has a contest with the Shi’Ar Gods over who’s the better god. And will Jane Foster hang onto her senate seat?! Snore… Aaron’s War of the Realms a...
Awesome!
So, I was considering 4 stars as one who is up to date on the latest Thor stories. If I wasn’t, my score would be considerably lower.(view spoiler)[Jane foster continues as The Goddess of thunder even though it’s killing her, and calls back to Unworthy Thor, Godkiller, and a whole lot of Shi’ar history and continuity. I freaking love her decisions to do what she considers right, even if it’s not “godly”or adding to the points tally.I love that Odinson (aka ex-Thor turns up from his own story for...
While the story here is pretty good, it seems like something of a side quest. How long are we going to sit in a holding pattern until the War of the Realms actually happen? Or will this be the premise of every volume? Loki tricks someone into attacking Thor. Chaos ensues. The more other Gods are involved, the less interested I am. The book has never looked better though with the likes of Steve Epting and Russell Dauterman handling the art chores.
War of the Realms. Blah blah blah. Senseless Shi'ar challenge. Blah blah blah. Everybody hits stuff until problems get solved offscreen.Blah.Blah.Blah.
tbh.... i'm losing interest. there are too many characters i don't know and too much fighting for my taste. the dialogue is fun & the art is all kinds of pretty, i just...am a little worn out, i guess
I can't believe it has come to this, but The Mighty Thor, previously one of the best Marvel titles from one of the best current Marvel writers, has become an awfully convoluted, unreadable, overwritten mess. By this point, the only good things about this series are the artwork and the occasional Roz Solomon cameos (hence the two stars instead of one). I can't even begin to write a proper review for this, because slogging through this comic took me a lot of time and energy, and now I'm super grum...
[Read as single issues]The Gods of the Shi'ar have heard of the Mighty Thor, and now they challenge her power - to prove she is a stronger God than they, or die trying. But if you declare war on Thor, you declare war on all of Asgardia! Plus, the League of Realms rides again as the War of the Realms ravages Alfheim!The Mighty Thor goes from strength to strength, and this new volume is no exception. The League of Realms two-parter that starts off the book is excellent; Aaron manages to build up a...
Thor vs. Gladiator, Shi'ar vs asgardians. So silly, yet written so well. This is one of the most marvel est stories I've ever read, so I was geeked out through most of it. It was fun seeing the adversaries from The dark phoenix saga as they are today, still strong and with different context.Not the greatest story ever written, but in the great marvel universe it it well deserved
A lot of people seem to be giving this lower ratings than other arcs but I found this to be one of the better arcs since the title relaunched as Mighty Thor. Enjoyed Thor clashing with the Shi’ar Gods and the battles that followed. Probably could have done without the Phoenix turning up again, but I think that comes back to what Aaron did in the Legacy one shot right?
4/10 starsNot all bad; rather, as other reviewers pointed out, inconsequential: a side quest that goes on for far too long. A filler, and a painfully obvious one - but still retains a bit of fun notable in the previous volumes. Aaron seems to be enjoying his run with the female Thor (I still can't get over that name abuse, sorry) and I like to see the interrealm UN portrayed with all its faults and weaknesses but also with a sense of hope. Plus, call me sentimental, but I do like that Falstaffia...
WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY IDK... This one got weird. I'm not sure why they used Thor to set up the Jean Grey run, but that's what most of this book was doing in a really convoluted way. There was just a lot of stuff in here that felt very unnecessary and over complicated. Yeah, I'm pretty meh about this one.
