So here it is at last: Jason Aaron is finally done teasing readers with the identity of the new Thor as she removes her helm and reveals herself to be… .... Deadpool! Just kidding - as if I’d spoil that here! It is a surprise though and I loved the choice of who the new God of Thunder really is. The story in this volume is a bit thin as Aaron basically puts everything on the big reveal at the end to keep readers going. Thor Classic (or Prince Odinson of Asgard, as he’s calling himself now) has a...

This was an alright volume and is mostly Thor facing off against the Minotaur but then comes the Destroyer armor controlled by Bor on Odin's behalf and thus begins the All-fathers wrath and its a fun issue as she has to fight that thing and team up with Odinson and Avengers to take this monstrosity down while the Odinson searches for her identity and we get the reveal to be (view spoiler)[ Jane Foster (hide spoiler)] and its a fun change and it will be interesting to see where they go from here...

We know who Thor is now and I LOVE IT!!! Okay so I knew ahead of time because I looked it up since I'm really impatient and just wanted to know, but the reveal was done really nicely in the comics. I am loving new Thor so much. This volume was bumped down to 4 stars instead of 5 because there were only 3 issues in this I think, plus a few extra stories by different writers and artists in the back. Which was cool I guess, but I wanted more from the actual storyline than extra material (especially...

The identity of the new Thor is finally revealed, and it’s….*gasp* WHO?!?Just kidding. This came out almost 5 years ago so that info has already fallen so far into the realm of common nerd knowledge even the reveal of the cast of the next Thor movie gave it away.Since this a modern comic we can’t go more than 15 minutes without changing the title slightly and releasing a new #1, and with Secret Wars looming this version of Thor had a limited shelf life. Still, I very much enjoyed this particular...

Totally called it!Still cried at the ending, though...

Fabulous, of course. This is the big reveal of who has lifted Thor's hammer (spoiled by Entertainment Weekly like a year ago. Thanks, EW!), and even though I knew who it was, it was still great. And I loved Thor running around with his list of lady heroes that it could be. I can't wait for the next one!

The female Thor saga continues with a cast of developing villains. The Asgardian extended family gets involved in the conflict and we find out the identity of the female Thor.One problem.The latter third of the tale changes dramatically in artwork and some of the tales go to goofy, breaking up the flow IMO.That said, still a fun read but not as well plotted as the first one. OVERALL GRADE: B.

I didn't get the Annual because I read individual issues on MU. That being said, there's great stuff here, and I honestly got a bit emotional at a few parts, which surprises me, but not in a bad way. Good for Aaron.If Aaron's Titania surrendering to Thor last volume was heavy handed and stupid, the female armies of the Odinson who come to support Thor was the perfect way to make up for it it and have a more genuine "girl power" moment that felt far more authentic and believable to me at least. I...

I like Jason Aaron's run on Thor. He managed to make a very uninteresting character interesting. He does reveal who the new Thor is. This book felt like a cash grab though. There are only 3 regular issues in the book, plus some filler. The stories from the annual are boring and pointless. And then there's a What If? reprint issue in the back.

3.5 stars. I had high hopes for this one and if this was just the Thor story, it would've definitely been 4 stars. Unfortunately, 70% of the annual and the "What If?" Story dragged this down for me so much. I really, really liked the story of Thor taking on the Destroyer. I loved the dialogue, how powerful she looked and I adored Freyja's influence. She is such a powerful character in this book and in Angela: Asgard's Assassin and (while I know it'll never happen) I am 100% down for a Freyja sol...

Now that's more like it.It's still very much 'all girls together' but in a much less heavy handed way that worked this time around. I love the development between Odin and Freyja, and there were some nice cameos that didn't distract from the main characters and plot.The big reveal was done really well; I'd managed to avoid spoilers so it was still a bit of a guess until the last minute, mainly because of all the red herrings they kept throwing about. My only criticism is there wasn't quite enoug...

3.5 stars"Perhaps trouble is what she is after - in which case . . . raise Hel, Goddess of Thunder, and let the rest be damned!" - ValkyrieFaster-paced and funnier than Volume 1, Who Holds the Hammer? features a slew of speical guest stars (to quote Freyja - "Am I right, ladies?") arriving in the nick of time for an ass-kicking finale. Also of note were two of the three short stories, both co-starring the Warriors Three, that conclude the book -- an initiation / 'rite of passage' challenge invol...

This a short collection, only three issue, an annual, and an old but relevant story for padding up the page count. #6 - The Minotaur CEO had a key role in the last story arc, and he gets a timely origin story in this chapter. In an effort to solve the mystery of the identity of the new Thor, the Odinson shows a new side to him, as a detective.#7 - Thor versus the Destroyer! This battle is a slobber knocker. It does stylistically sing like the one with the frost giants in the previous arc. This o...

This is a bit of a bitty comic, which annoyed me. There’s a couple of issues dealing with the ongoing story, but there’s also a lot of extra stuff — a short one about Thor sometime way in the future, a side story with Thor’s friends, one about Thor having a drinking contest, and then a “what if” about Jane Foster finding Mjolnir originally. That last one is especially difficult if you’re not familiar with Thor’s canon, because it really requires comparison with the original/referenced issues of

The big reveal of who the new Thor is was spoiled for me long ago by some online news source or another, and so this issue-which concerns itself with finding out that mystery-lost a lot of its impact for me now that I have gotten around to reading it. I will say that I am still loving the fantastic artwork. I did, however, have a couple of problems:I was waiting for some big reveal showing how Odin was possessed/controlled/Loki in disguise, but none ever came. So, unless I missed something somew...

Put it back in the oven; it's not done yet.It takes a lot to squander the good will I have when a minotaur reveals the simplest and greatest supervillain plan I've ever read in comics. Unfortunately, Thor #2 does that.Let's be clear, in case you missed my review of Thor, Vol. 1: The Goddess of Thunder. Summing up, I'm fine with the new direction of the book. Also, I do love the reveal at the end of Thor's identity. That's not my issue.The book is just too damned light on content.I understand

3.5 starsThere's not much to this volume, is there?Still, the 3 issues of Thor were good, and the big reveal was quite dramatic. In the background, Malekith is plotting to take over every world connected to Yggdrasil, and Mr. Minotaur is plotting to strip them of their resources. TEAMWORK! But the majority of the story is Thor (the dude) trying to figure out the identity of Thor (the chick). I thought he was pretty decent about the whole thing. Last time around, he was a bit ragey and over-the-t...

This is where we find out who Thor is. And the reveal is, thankfully, very nicely handled. It wasn't obvious, to me, who she was until very shortly before her identity was revealed, but the pieces all fit into place. And I very much like her as Thor. (view spoiler)[That said, as somebody who's lost people to cancer, it bothers me that Jane won't accept magical treatment because... I don't really think I understand her position. Yes, magic does have a price, but in this case, so does not using ma...

If I was to rate Thor series since the start on just art, this shit is stunning. LIKE FUCK MAN the art is truly amazing shit. This is a really short volume. Focusing on just the major issues of the plot we finally know who Thor is (though it's super easy to see coming) but it's nice to know it now. I also really enjoyed the battle, it was fantastic, the art truly makes each battle epic as fuck. I couldn't get over the one scene where Thor is standing there, blood soaked, and is still standing re...

Really good follow up with a conclusion i yo who Thor is. Kinda didnt see it coming, had my own assumptions which didnt come true. Great story telling, artwork was great and Thor was exciting. My only complaint was.how short the novel was. Alot of filler torwards the back.
