My favourite sub-plot is the SHIELD agents who think Jane is faking dying of cancer and everyone being like "YOU IDIOTS LEAVE HER ALONE" and Jane just being like... "You realize you can't scare me, right?"

This was a pretty good volume. The action continues with the Minotaur and Malketh plots, and we hear a story from Viking times told by Loki.The art is good, and I kinda like the fact that the hammer is alive from an ancient storm. It's a good idea, hopefully it comes into play a little more.

A little bit too much filler with alot of issues being back story with really average art. The story did continue and it was pretty good when it did but just not enough.

Dario Agger - a businessman so villainous he should by rights have a black top hat and cape and be twirling a pencil-thin moustache whenever he speaks - has been exploiting resources in the other realms for his company only. The other evil corporate bigwigs aren’t happy and decide to make an example of him by crashing his floating headquarters into Manhattan – Thor to the rescue! Meanwhile, two persistent SHIELD agents try to prove that Jane Foster is Thor and Mjolnir’s secret origin is revealed...

Waffling between 2 and 3 stars for this because where the fuck was Thor in this? I thought this was supposed to be her story and instead we have 2 issues of a gross unrelated story narrated by Loki and 1 issue about Mjölnir's origin. Vaguely interesting, but after everything else, kind of a punch in the face. When Thor was there, the story was great, even though I didn't really feel like what was happening within the story really related to her at all (apart from SHIELD trying to figure out her

More great stuff with lady Thor, and I loved the origin story of Mjolinir.

Man, I LOVE Jason Aaron on Thor. He just takes all the right chances. That's not to even speak about the artists. Just great stuff!

Unlike licking a toad (you never get as high as everyone says you do, sadly), reading a Jason Aaron comic rarely disappoints me (with one notable exception, as you can read about here). This volume of Thor continues the trend—solidly crafted, good art, entertaining shenanigans, and occasionally interesting revelations that I won’t spoil here (the hammer can do WHAT?!). Whether Thor’s rocking a twig and berries or motorboating mountains, Aaron has a good handle on the God(ess) of Thunder.

This was a step down from the last volume. So Thor is under investigation. Certain agents of shield believe Jane is Thor. Oh no! Yes her identity up until now was supposed to be a secret from everybody. We also have two side stories here. One about the history of the hammer and another about Thor's younger days as a viking. This all leads to what I assume is going to be a all out war between all the realms. Good: The art is still great. Thor as a character is still fun and charming. I enjoyed th...

I love the Lord High Librarian. Such a bitchy snob.I like the continued story of Jane struggling to hold it together, and how Thor is just such a badass throughout the book. I even love the ridiculous commitment to weird elven world-building...This is one of the first books in a LONG while where a variety of artists is actually suited to the different kinds of stories being told. Bravo for actually threading that needle, and not just throwing whatever standup artist is available when schedules g...

[Read as single issues]This volume, after the massive events of volume 1, slows down for the opening two issues, illustrating a brawl between a Viking era Hulk and the young Thor from the God of Thunder series with storybook art by RM Guerra that will not be to everyone's taste, but I feel fits the way in which the story is told - as a fable told to Malekith by Loki, who is trying to convince the dark elf that he is trying to join the winning side for a change.The bulk of the volume looks at Dar...

It was ok. Do not care that much for the story and kinda gets repetitive a bit, I mean yeah ok sure, it's jane she has cancer and we know it, Thor feels unworthy and he's whining about it, and we get some boring glimpses of Thor's entourage that I never cared about except Sif.Oh well..

OK, of the seven issues collected in this volume, we had two pretty poor filler issues featuring a fairly uninteresting flashback story with guest artwork that really wasn't to my tastes... 2 stars each for those issues...Then we have four issues of the regular creative team delivering a solid Thor vs. Roxxon vs. some other baddies story with some really good cliffhangery WTF moments... A strong 4 stars for each of those issues...Then, as a really rather awesome epilogue, we get the previously u...

Wonderfully, ridiculously over-the-top sensibilities combine with great art and some solid character work. Ten tons of fun in a five ton bag. Get on it.

Loving this run on the new Thor. Has to be one of marvel's best characters and storylines at the moment. Always great when the writer and artist get it right - at the same time!

This was really good omg!So it pretty much just starts with a tale of Odinson in the viking age whenever someone would pray for him and he will appear like tale of Bodolf and how Thor would assist him in his fights but when he grew greedy and stopped praying, fates turned and then enter Loki and the saga of that time and whatever happened there and yeah its a fun throwback tale showing the enmity of these two across the ages.And then in the present we have Silver samurai and Exterminatrix take d...

Jason Aaron continues his marvelous run on Thor. There are a couple of fill-in artists of much, much lesser quality than Dauterman which I think is a first. So, I'm not so surprised he needed a bit of a break. The fill-in artists don't touch the main story however, only side stories. Altogether remains of Marvel's best titles.

History is deeply informing the current conflict of this series, for both Thor and Loki. Based entirely on my Marvel movie knowledge*, that seems to be a common theme throughout their sibling rivalry, but it’s especially important here, where we spend a lot of time on backstory with different art styles. I particularly liked how those styles reflected the characters telling the story: Loki’s, for example, is dark, messy and murky. It’s nice to see Jane Foster with a friend, though it seems sad t...

Starts off with two issues of filler, telling some old story about Thor and Loki with awful art. I'm not happy to see evil Loki return. His character has been so much more interesting the last few years, seeming evil but actually doing good. He's supposed to be a trickster god after all.Then we get back to the main story. There's a dumb SHIELD plot with two agents harassing Jane about Thor's identity. The addition of a capitalist Illuminati was neat. And I liked the corporate takeover attempt by...

3,5*Strange book. Not an amazing plot but so well done you can't rightly dismiss it.It opens with 2 issues taking place in the Viking era that have no real purpose but to revel in the gigantic battle between young Thor and a Hulk-like opponent. Well told but rather pointless. Mostly painted art by Rafa Garres in a style that might not please to everybody.The main action is in the 4 next issues where Dario Agger, the mean Roxxon executive, is sentenced to death by Oubliette Dominatrix and the Sil...
