THE RETURN OF THE GODDESSES OF THUNDER!
Atli, Ellisiv and Frigg are the granddaughters of Old King Thor, last seen during the end of Jason Aaron's landmark THOR run. Now the Goddesses of Thunder are back, sailing the wild cosmic seas, chasing the thunder that echoes across universes... and hunting for fallen hammers.
RATED T+
Avengers Forever #4brings the battle of Earth-818 to a close while touching upon elements from Jason Aaron's Thor run. Read Full Review
This is old-school superheroics, although the narration style and shift in focus from Ghost Rider to the Goddesses make things feel a bit detached. It's all in good fun and this seems to be a series that's more focused on throwing wild ideas out than taking itself too seriously. Read Full Review
After several issues of deliberate plotting (including one that all torture), Earth-818 is saved by a trio of goddesses who haven't been in the story, save for a single-page splash at the end of issue #1, wrapping up a big story with sudden snap. Read Full Review
If you love the idea of a larger multiversal story building, don't skip Avengers Forever #4. That said, the fight scenes feel less impactful and you won't believe the heroes have any chance of losing for a second. It makes for a middling finale to Red Skull's many multiverse versions joining forces. Read Full Review
I didn't mind this issue. I had a fun time. Jason Aaron connecting his Thor stuff to this run actually is interesting to me, because it gives me this added hope that Jason Aaron has a plan and this isn't *just* spectacle. Eventually, especially with comics, spectacle runs out and you have a very lackluster story on your hands. I will say, this issue does feel disconnected from the last three, and it felt like Aaron didn't actually want to follow up on the end of the last issue (which, honestly, I'm thankful for because that did not excite me), however it makes for a disjointed reading experience.
Im not a fan of Aaaron's continuity, so the phoenix wolverine plot and Thor's granddaughters dont do it for me. Still i find this book enjoyable as hell.
The art has a high degree of polish, but it's applied to weak bones. There's some embarrassing anatomy lurking in multiple panels.
The words feel like "cruise control epic," a somewhat pro-forma performance.
The saving grace is that this issue does plot development in spades, genuinely shaking up the status quo and giving Jason Aaron's often-digressive Avengers saga the backside boot it needs.
Like most of Aaron's recent stuff, it has good parts but, it just feels pointless. There's no emotional feel to the story.
A stitched job that can't keep up with the previous chapters. I just don't care for the Thor nonsense and Aaron Kuder's art is missed.
Not very additive to the story at all, just feels like a fan letting his dreams loose
