Rated T+
Mighty Thor #12 is a well-crafted story that could be easily interpreted as a piece of Norse mythology. It is incredibly well written and beautifully drawn. Jason Aaron is one of Marvel's best writers right now and he shows it in this comic. Russell Dauterman is one of Marvel's best artists right now, but in this issue, he makes way for the work of Irving Frazer who does a stunning job of creating a comic that is visually engaging and uniquely stylized through color and technique to give an epic and ancient feel. Mighty Thor #12 is definitely a fantastic read. Read Full Review
By the end of the issue, there is a certain air of mystery about Mjolnir, and an almost heavenly glow surrounds it. As a standalone issue, it is an astounding throwback to Norse Mythology. The creative team cranks out an epic adventure that is bound to leave you breathless. THE MIGHTY THOR #12 is indeed a tale to astonish! Read Full Review
You will never look at Mjlnir the same way again. Jason Aaron has made the hammer more interesting than ever with a wildly epic and cosmic backstory. Read Full Review
This series continues to be surprising and entertaining - but I do miss the real Thor, and it's frustrating that we still don't know what caused him to be "unworthy." Perhaps his promised new series will clue us in. Read Full Review
It is towards the end of the issue where the story seems to contradict what we thought we knew, but it could also be that Jason Aaron hasn't finished telling this story and may be waiting for future stories to continue this origin. Either way, this is still a great comic, but it's something you may have mixed feelings about. I know I do. If you think you know what Mjolnir is, you need to think again and read this issue to find out more! Read Full Review
Aaron's history and forging is appropriately epic, with plenty of God battles, thunder strikes and space sharks. Beyond the initial entertainment, it also offers a unique look at the hammer's temperament and relationship with its wielder, something Aaron clearly sets up to be further explored with the upcoming Unworthy Thor #1.

At least it was cool to see Frazer Irving illustrate the origin story. Read Full Review
I'm typically not a big fan of Frazer Irving's art, but MAN did it ever work for this issue. Loved it.
Wow Aarons' done it again exceptional story telling.
An intriguing idea but some stories are just left better untold. Like Yoda, for instance. A Yoda origin movie would never work because his origin is always better in people’s minds. Same thing happened twice with Wolverine
This issue is an interesting interlude with gorgeous the art. I love what Jason Aaron is doing with Thor, he's modernizing the characters like no one has ever done before.
I don't love he Mjolnir changes, but good story.
I'm not a big fan of these tales of old type stories. It's not bad by any means, this one was decent, it just doesn't do a whole lot for me and I'm more interested to read Thor's next adventure instead.
