Jason Aaron certainly has a great sense of humor, but he's still telling a high-adventure, action-oriented story, which Esad Ribic portrays beautifully. Aaron's writing tends to be pretty dense in this series (which is definitely a good thing), but when Ribic has a large panel to work with, you can be sure that he's going to make it count. Ribic's had some stiff competition from guest artists like Ron Garney and Nic Klein, but he makes a welcome return to Thor: GOT's interior pages with this issue.Is it Good? Read Full Review

Jason Aaron has written a great many Marvel characters very well, but with Thor, he seems to have finally found his sweet spot. Since his first issue, Aaron has turned in some of the best work of his Marvel career, balancing multiple plots, rising action, and a pitch perfect characterization of The Mighty Avenger. He's seems a guy who was born to write Thor and a writer who completely understands the power of the character, along with the character's ability to star in a myriad of stories beyond the shackles of the basic superhero fare and we, as lowly mortal readers, are the one's who reap the benefits.

Esad Ribic delivers the goods, man. His killer art is reason enough to pick up any given issue of this series. The only pages that don't look amazing are the glimpses for the future, which have a washed out, bleak look. Of course, this is intentional, but Ribic's art doesn't excel in those conditions. His unique style looks so much better when colorist Ive Svorcina is really going for it, filling in every line completely. The fully detailed scenes are incredible, and that last page will get you all kinds of fired up. Read Full Review

Thor: God of Thunder 19 (.now if youre nasty) sets some awesome things up down the way for everyones favorite Norse deity. Roxxon seems to be a problem coming down the way for Thor as does whatever shows up at the end. If this arc is about taking care of the Earth, the consequences are already seen, and all that is left is to see how it plays out. With Aaron and Ribic at the reigns it is sure to be worth the ride.

There are a few hiccups in this issue, but the astonishing art and colors of Ribic and Svorcina, combined with a great take on Thor and a new direction that has potential proves that this new arc might elevate this title to the quality it once reached. Read Full Review

Jason Aaron's story manages a nice balance between humor and the adventure. The new story is just getting started, so it's too soon to pass final judgment, but it's a decent (if not spectacular) start. Read Full Review

Taking on environmental or social issues in a comic book can be a dicey proposition with a slippery slope. Thor upstages Roxxon, but the manner in which that is accomplished is sure to leave readers wondering why that wasn't done sooner or can't be done more often. Aaron is competent enough to put a price behind Thor's gift. The writer also removes the face of the foe of environmental upheaval. Sure, there are proxies to punch, but the real problem is bigger than Thor, more widespread and more tenacious. Thor's ties to humanity may not lead to his downfall, but it will leave to heartache, as Aaron has already shown in previous appearances of King Thor. Environmental issues, fallen frost giants and returning resource plunderers make for quite a wide array of content in the pages of "Thor: God of Thunder" #19. NOW which serves up an in-progress jumping on spot for fans of the thunder god. Read Full Review

THOR: GOD OF THUNDER #19 is a jumping on point and I strongly recommend you do just that. While opening chapters can often feel overburdened by exposition and info dumps, Aaron's able to set the stage without ever letting go of our interest. That's thanks to some swift pacing, sharp writing, and of course, some legitimately grand artwork by Ribic. Seriously, you don't even need to be a Thor fan to fall in love with this series.

This is another great Thor comic that I highly recommend. The only gripes I have with the book, like I mentioned above, is the fact the art inside does not live up to the standard of the cover and the future story portion may or may not actually take place in the "main" Marvel universe. The use of Roxxon as the villains for the comic is interesting and I hope to se Thor face more corporate type adversaries. Read Full Review

Thor: God of Thunder #19 serves as a fairly good jumping-on for new readers. It builds off of most of what Jason Aaron has penned for the series to date, but at no point is it required reading (though I would still recommend issue 12, if you can find it). And while the time-split narrative is territory Aaron has already tread before, we'll have to wait an issue or two to see how the parallel stories play out before rendering judgment on it. As it stands, "The Last Days of Midgard" #1 looks to be a solid start to a new chapter. Read Full Review

This opening chapter sets the stage for an compelling new villain for Thor with the Roxxon Energy Corporation and its leader Dario Agger, who is set up similar to Superman's Lex Luthor. Jason Aaron is about to show us how a god with a hammer will fight a giant, and somewhat evil, corporation. It's a new type of villain for Thor, potentially grounding him on Earth for a while. Within this issue we also get to see a bit more of Thor's new romantic interest Roz Solomon, who happens to also share similarities to the strong willed and temperamental Lois Lane, as well as an appearance by the Thor of the future. It looks as though Aaron will be traveling back and forth from the present to the future within this story, something he's done so well with previous volumes of this book. It feels good to have this creative duo back on this title and I can't wait to read more. Read Full Review

This issue in particular isn't the greatest of the run thus far, but this title has been too good to suggest we're worried about this becoming a problem. Read Full Review

This is a title that hooks you in from the start. Aaron's image of a sullen Thor overlooking the mess of planet earth is more than a little depressing, but it makes the flashbacks to happier times much more valuable. Read Full Review

Thor: God Of Thunder #19 is a solid beginning, but with a huge uphill climb ahead of it. Let’s hope Jason Aaron gets there, and hopefully with a new artist. Read Full Review

This new story is really intriguing, and I can't wait to see where it goes. Great setup. I like the comparison Aaron seems to be establishing between the super-corporation Roxxon and Galactus, both of whom want to suck the planet dry. One thing that is lacking is good old-fashioned fight scenes. Like in the previous issue vs. the dragon, the battle with the frost giant here is almost entirely off-screen. The awesome splash by Ribic is some consolation, true--but I'd also like to see him choreograph some cool combat sequences. In this instance, not having an extended fight with the frost-giant does make sense from a storytelling point-of-view. But I'm just saying, occasionally letting these artists really cut loose with a god battling a mythological creature would probably be worthwhile. Ribic hasn't grown rusty during his hiatus from this title, and I'm starting to appreciate more and more just how consequential Svorcina's coloring is to the finished product. I think this would be a vastly different book without her, and I hope we never have to see that book. more

Thor is a very powerful hero and so he needs very powerful villains. Gorr was one of the most powerful foes any hero has faced and he killed billions in his quest for revenge while Malekith was bland and annoying yet powerful nonetheless. It’s a testament to Jason Aaron’s writing skills that he has somehow set Roxxon up as a major Thor foe. Roxxon still seems outmatched and Aaron seems out of ideas but honestly this is a 7/10 comic. Luckily Esad Ribic’s return gives this issue an extra point and a half

GET READY FOLKS !!!! HEAR COME THE HEAVY HANDED ENVIRONMENTISM AND EVIL CAPITALISM STORY THAT HAS MY LIBERAL ENVIRONMENTAL BUDDY SCRATCHING HIS HEAD. Thor's girlfriend ?? is a very annoying character that is indistinguishable from every other new MARVEL female character. kate bishop clone??? but not as cool.

gets the 7 just on RIBIC'S ART.
