Fans of Thor will love Cates’ run on the series, and this arc, Prey, looks to be one of the best yet. He’s managed to introduce readers to a villain who is not only Thor’s equal, but looks to be his superior. The writing is amongst Cates’ best, readers will love every page of this comic. The art team of Klein and Wilson have to be one of the best in modern comics, and pairing them with Cates’ storytelling make this an unmissable comic. Read Full Review

While the latter half of this issue slows down on the action, learning more about Blake's awakening and his time in his cage is definitely enough to keep readers engaged. He's an unpredictable character and that's the most compelling part. We don't know what this former alter-ego of Thor is planning, especially after running havoc throughout Asgard. Readers are in for good things with this arc of Thor and what happens next is anyone's guess. Read Full Review

This storyline has personality, movement, purpose, inquiry, and vitality. Read Full Review

Nic Klein delivers some blistering action with the art in this issue. Everything looks great and each panel is filled with great details. A great looking issue in both character and action. Read Full Review

Blake is terrifying, and Thor is helpless, and it feels like Cates is really onto something. Read Full Review

This was an enjoyable issue as Cates ramps up the new threat and the new story. I'm grateful we got some solid answers as to what is going on, and that definitely helps inflate the drama and the stakes. Read Full Review

It sure is okay. The archetypal mediocre comic. Read Full Review

Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself. Thor, really, stop hitting yourself and all your friends. Wait, that's Donald Blake? That doesn't make any sense. Read Full Review

Exceptional issue. My favorite from this run, by far!

Absolutely Magnificent!!
Donny Cates is killing it!

Oh. OH.

Klein's art is amazing as always.

And so is Cates' writing.

Just keeps getting better

While the previous issue introduced us to the new Donald Blake, this issue had him just go off on everyone around him. I couldn't believe what I was reading when he basically took out Beta Ray Bill and every Asgardian that stood in front of him. In was absolutely brutal and I loved every single panel. I also wasn't ready for him to go to Jane at the end, but it's a very welcome surprise with how this arc has been so far. Donny Cates and Nic Klein kill it once again.

Amazing art and a story worthy of Thor

Sick.

Donny Blake, Donny cates... they're both crazy ya know

"You know... You and i... We are brothers ! Both made by Odin to teach his petulant brat a lesson... I say no more... No more toys for the King. No more of Odin's meddling. No more... No more Thors."
- DONALD BLAKE

Dr Blake seems a little overpowered to be able to take on every Asgardian like this, but it's a cool plot nonetheless.

It was a really good read that has me anxious to see what they do next.

THOR #10

Donald Blake, once Thor’s mortal vessel, has now became a sentient being and with knowledge of his false life, has grown insane. Trading places with Thor he sets out to destroy Odin and all of Asgard beginning by taking everything that was Thor’s leading to a reunion between him and Jane Foster.
A great issue with Cates using a long forgotten character and breathing new life and lore into him while respecting what came before. This arc is a must read for new and old Thor fans.

I can just buy -- barely -- the reasoning behind an imaginary friend like Donald Blake turning into an all-powerful god-killer. But I'm not thrilled with it. I'm of two minds about Don's seeming inability to kill anybody with a name and a backstory: I'd hate to lose, say, Volstagg to this arc, but the obvious plot armor around beloved characters just undercuts Donny's already-tenuous menace. And though the art is generally formidable, facial close-ups reveal weakness in the finish.

(I'm hardly the first reader to get over-nit-pick-y when I respect the quality of a given story but just don't enjoy it, right?)

Aren't BRB's enhancements from Korbinite supersoldier experiments? Why would Donald be able to undo them with magic? We're the body modifications on him undone before, and then re-added by Odín?

Curious about what he will do with Jane.
