While I’m a little tired of the “Thor isn’t worthy” story that’s been on and off in Thor books for years now, I really like the dialogue between the weird characters that crop up in the Thor universe. The final page alone has some fun potential for future stories. As always Donny Cates knows how to write no matter the overall story and the artwork is Bandini and Ferry is just stellar for this type of story.
Cates retreads old ground here, doing the same "I am not worthy" routine we've seen, and gives Freya a emo metal makeover. A lot of talking too, not the strongest stuff
Less 'heavy metal' then the two other volumes of Cates' run on Thor but enjoyable enough.
Total let down. All over the place with no solid story.
4.5
I wonder if this would have made more sense if I read volume 2...but it all feels familiar, what with the unworthy Thor theme. Loki also seemed to flipflop between being friendly with Thor to being cold and withdrawn, which was rather bizarre. Frejya's new outfit reminds me of the DC dark metal/metal Batman arc, which I didn't actually read and thus can't properly name. Frog-Thor was actually quite funny but his animal-themed Avengers isn't something I'll leap to read. Don't think I'll continue....
Pretty Good. Donny Cates run on Thor continues to be a solid read my only gripe is that his story is good but I just do not care about everything else going on in the larger Marvel Universe. Cates is sewing plot threads that could be really interesting. I mean we get a preview of a future Thanos vs Thor battle and the mysterious Black Winter. This volume is not a action romp but more of a character study Eventhough Cates fills the story with some epic moments. The artwork ranges from pretty good...
These three issues really focus on what's wrong with Thor and why he's basically...depressed. My favorite was issue 18 when he talks with his mom. I preferred Bandini's art on the first two issues which has a little bit of Copiel's look to it. Ferry's art wasn't bad though. His facial expressions really helped sell the emotional states of the characters. Also included is an annual which really serves no purpose. Didn't care for the art and not really sure the point of the story so it felt like w...
I felt detached during the Donald Blake stuff, but I was back in for this one. Also nice to see Cates getting to do some more light hearted stuff.
When a god wields the power of the storm, but his weapon of choice doesn't answer all of his calls...What do you do?Mjolnir has been acting up for ages now. It's only getting worse and this leads Thor to make a fateful decision. There could be major repercussions if his luck holds as it has in previous months.Bonus: Angela cameo. A MacFarlane creation that went to litigation, if I remember right...Bonus Bonus: Pet Avengers (well, 3/4 of them) Assemble! Throg is my new favorite. Bonus^3: FINALLY,...
I was disenfranchised with Cates' Thor after the first arc, but the second won me back over, and this third collection really sold me on it. I was worried for a while that Cates was more comfortable writing Thor's supporting cast but Thor himself, but the big guy is front and centre for most of these issues and Cates shows us that he really knows what he's doing.The main Revelations arc here brings back some missing members of Thor's family to prove once and for all just why badass they are, and...
Highlights:- Thor continues to have problems wielding and lifting Mjolnir. Seeking help from Loki and then Captain America, he decides that he cannot be both the warrior and the King, so he leaves Mjolnir with the Avengers, until he can sort his powers out for sure.- Angela (Thor's sister) gets Thor, Odin, and Freyja to sit down and try to work things out as a family, under threat of taking the throne of Asgard for herself (she is the eldest of Odin's children afterall...). They do talk, but it
Not as Dragonball Z as the last two volumes. Mostly kinda set up, so I’m pumped for next volume, but this was still fun overall.
It was okI thought the art work was fine. I hadn't read enough of some of the back stories to understand this volume.
There was very little here unfortunately. The plot is eluding to some interesting points in the next volume but I'm not very compelled to continue on.
Loved the family dynamics as we think about legacy and the future.
Sure, this is largely set up for whatever it is Cates is going to be doing next with Thor and Mjolnir, but it's good set up. It starts to define Thor's issues with Mjolnir, which is fortunately more complex than mere worthiness, it reestablishes his family connections, it does a bit more to define Loki's entire deal, and it continues Throg as badass by promising a superanimal team up that I simply can't wait to read. Also, a guest appearance by Captain America that makes a certain amount of sens...
I continue to vibe with Cates' run on Thor. This collection is a little uneven, simply because it's responsible for a decent bit of setup and includes a good but unremarkable annual. But the core story of Thor asking his family and friends for help regarding his continued issues with Mijonir is excellent. Cates strikes an ideal balance of action, humor, and heaviness, and I love seeing him continue to put Thor through an emotional wringer. The tension between Thor and Mjolnir is somewhat tired g...
Thor has problems ruling Asgard. Thor has problems dealing with his family. Thor has problems with his hammer. Thor has problems! This volume seems to be an interlude. Setting up some elements for what may be on the horizon. I’ll need more from the next volume if I’m going to continue to read this series.
I believe this is what you call a filler episode. Even the annual issue was a bit pointless.
