Dowling crafts some beautifully detailed art on every page of this issue. The character moments are visually intimate and the action scenes are thrilling. Read Full Review

What with all of the problems Marvels Asgard has run into over the decades, it is very, very difficult to cast any Thor-based danger in a new and novel light. Gronbekk is smart to focus the story-in on Jane and what shes going through for the most part. The very real human face of larger-than-life turmoil keeps the story from diving too far away from the emotional gravity that all of the action needs to center itself around. Read Full Review

Worth a look if you are interested in this character. Again I am not sure how much it is going to play into the movie but it seems like it is going to be a fun story. Read Full Review

Seeing the return of both familiar faces and a mysterious foe, Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #1 is sure to leave readers hungry for more. Read Full Review

Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #1 features a story that brings Jane Foster back into the limelight as she embarks on a mission to save Thor. If you're counting down the days to Love and Thunder, or you're looking for an entrance into the world ofThor comics, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a read. Read Full Review

All-around a solid issue. If you haven't read much Jane Foster, you should still be able to pick this up and follow along as long as you're aware of her general background. Read Full Review

Downlings art follows a similar note from predecessors Cafu and Mattia de Iulis with a style based in visual realism, which helps make the more fantastical elements of the story feel grander and more epic. Jesus Aburtovs colors enhance the effect even further, delivering some truly beautiful shading that gives the lighting in various scenes an uncanny level of photographic verisimilitude. Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #1 is altogether just a well-made comicbook that leaves the reader wanting more, which is all you can ask for from a new number one. Read Full Review

With Thor stories stuck in a bit of a pocket universe of their own, I'll admit to not recognizing half of the characters on hand here. Sif, at least I think it's Sif, gets far more time than Jane is this first issue as she sees the danger coming. Whoever is behind the threat, one thing is certain, Jane Foster needs to find Thor.

If there's a redeeming quality to this book it's the spirit of Jane Foster shining through its lackluster script. Read Full Review

I have the same problem here that I have with a lot of #1s: I can't tell if this series is headed on an upward or a downward trajectory. I like the occasional flashes of poetic purple in the script, but the pace is uneven. I like the art at the end, but I think it's a lot rougher at the beginning. I like the Jane-Mjolnir-Odin team, but I can't get a good feel for the antagonists yet.

I'll bump it above average because I believe this could be the foundation of a good story, or even a great one. But it's far from guaranteed.
