    The Immortal Thor is now verging on becoming fully metatextual, a rumination on the compromises made to turn a god of myth into a marketable superhero and the responsibilities that such an icon has accrued since comics have gone from being the disposable entertainment of certain relatively small subcultures to a dominant global entertainment force.

    Immortal Thor #9 is a darkly comedic metafictional adventure that asks readers to consider what happens when corporations Marvel first and foremost control art. Read Full Review

    Matt Wilsons bright, flat colors are reminiscent of the whole masters of the art. It feels so classic and old school, and yet much more nuanced and detailed. It truly is the best of both worlds. Each character has a color scheme that separates itself from the other. Everything contrasts so well lifting the characters and the action off the page. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Apr 3, 2024

    Immortal Thor #9 continues to explore Thor's identity in unique ways. To think a comic book could be Thor's downfall when he's as powerful as ever is exciting. This issue also continues to tug at Thor mainstays as Ewing explores the character like no other before. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - StoryBabbler Apr 11, 2024

    Immortal Thor #9 has the God of Thunder confront Dario Agger, aka The Minotaur, CEO of the Roxxon Corporation, only for him to fall into the villain's trap. The thing is, Dario is far from a serious threat, and he comes off like an over-the-top villain straight from the Captain Planet cartoon. He's too cartoonish to take seriously as a villain especially as a threat to Thor. Thankfully, the real villains save this comic as Enchantress and Skurge the Executioner show up to once more give Thor a hard time. Ibraim Roberson's art also keeps this comic alive as the action with Thor and the two villains is done very well. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez Apr 4, 2024

    The Immortal Thor #9 takes a jarring left turn from epic poem storytelling into a meta commentary railing against corporations, consumerism, and Marvel itself. Some readers may find Ewing's allegorical points intriguing, but the the net result is a muddy reading experience. Read Full Review

    Plot
    THOR confronts Darius Minotaur in the Roxxon offices, to discover the true plan of this corporation, to create some oases on the planet after destroying it where only the wealthy can live, hence his desire to use the planet's resources, such as Gaea wanted it when she called the gods of Utgard, only it is not known who manipulates whom.

    But Thor falls into a trap as he is encased in Amora's enchantment and his powers seem to begin to fade, until Skurge easily surpasses him in strength.

    At this moment Amora's plan is revealed, she used the power of Thor's comic, that is, as millions of people read the stories of the god of Thunder, that story takes over Thor, it becomes his destiny and Amora can now manipulate more

    That first panel, awesome.

    Admittedly, at first I wasn't too into it and a tad lost as to what was happening and what the point was. Then at the end, ah, yes. This makes sense.

    A god is only as strong as the belief people have in them.

    Before this issue, I had been a bit disappointed in this series. I thought it was average at best. However, I thought this issue was really good!

    I loved the concept that the Gods are susceptible to the stories told about them, and I think it's a cool idea for someone to attack Thor by simply changing the stories about him.

    I also enjoyed the metacommentary about how Thor is no longer just a character these days. It's a franchise, a business. Toys, content. Everything about him is there for a big company to profit off of. You can really see this with Disney, as the Marvel stories are no longer just about quality storytelling, it's a business plain and simple. Endless reboots, constant big events, milking any successful more
