Mike Grell pretty much picks up the story thread that was introduced in the opening chapter, and after spending half the issue reiterating the basic themes of the material, he use the second half of the issue to deliver the big showdown between Iron Man & Thor. Now truth be told Mike Grell did give this issue a nice standalone quality, as if one hadn't read the opening chapter, this issue does a solid job of getting the readers up to speed, though it does seem like Thor is clearly meant to be in the wrong, which undercuts the indecision that Dan Jurgens had done such a nice job of developing over in Thor. Still, the issue does a solid job setting up the situation, and the battle itself operates at such a high a level that one can't help but be a little impressed by the sheer visceral experience of it all. I do hope that this Asgardian powered armor doesn't survive past this adventure though, as it makes Iron Man far too powerful. Read Full Review
