The Mighty Thor #3 is a krakathooming good time, and it is a damn good time to be a Thor fan. This issue is a classic Thor vs. Loki romp with the twist of everything new about these characters and the cliffhanger this team delivers to close out the issue is very powerful. The Mighty Thor is in the running for the best superhero book in comics and this issue solidifies that. This creative team is on fire and you can't go wrong if you choose to pick up The Mighty Thor #3. Read Full Review
Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman delve deep into the trickster god's various incarnations in Mighty Thor #3, and it's refreshing that Jane Foster is way smarter about it than her predecessor. Read Full Review
Overall, THE MIGHTY THOR has already proven itself to be a good comic, but with the addition of this issue, it makes it a must read just for the amazing art and beautiful scenes that it presents. There is no doubt that there is plenty of depth worth mining under the surface of both Dr. Jane Foster and the ultimate trickster Loki's first but definitely not last conflict. Read Full Review
The Mighty Thor #3 continues the tale of Jane Foster's time as the God of Thunder, with the creative team wasting no time in reminding me just why this is one of my favourite projects from the House of Ideas. The interaction between Thor and Loki, with the plotting of Malekith and Laufey also made things all the more dramatic, with there being some fun moments along the way. Read Full Review
It seems like Jason Aaron has had some fun writing and rewriting the stories of Thor in his four-plus years working on the character, but The Mighty Thor #3 is something a bit different, it's Aaron having fun not just with the character, but with the publishing history and future of the character.

As mentioned previously, the cancer set-up and the structure of this comic around a major Asgardian war involving all of Jane Foster Thors villains so far gives the comic the air of an ending in progress, but I really hope thats not the case. TheMighty Thor feels like a visitor from another time and place, a comic grounded in telling long form stories informed by solid pacing, emotional impact, and crafting a unique and engaging mythos for a character thats more than the sum of its parts. Its a comic with a sense of its own history as well as enough presence of mind to forge its own way forward and make something new. Bottom line: its an excellent comic made by people with vision and skill who really cared about making it. Read Full Review
"Mighty Thor" #3 is indeed all-new and all-different, but the beautiful and intense storytelling is the same. Read Full Review
Overall, while it doesnt necessarily advance the ongoing storyline very much, at least not until the final few pages, this is still an issue that a lot of fans are going to really enjoy (and Im including myself in that statement) simply because were finally getting to see the latest incarnations of these iconic creations go head-to-head. Aaron and Dauterman just flat out get these characters, and hopefully assuming it hasnt happened already – the days of people viewing female Thor as a mere novelty or publicity stunt should be all but behind us. You can count me in for the rest of this series, thats for sure. Read Full Review
Jason Aaron's Thor just gets deeper and deeper into this new story, and every new issue is a lot of fun. And for the first time since he took over, Aaron finally brings us a one-on-one battle between Thor and Loki! Read Full Review
This issue was absolutely incredible. I don't write many reviews, I usually just rate issues and move on, but Aaron's script and Dauterman's art were both so on point that I had to rave about it. Probably my favourite since the introduction of Jane Foster as Thor.
In The Saga of Thor and Loki, Jason Aaron, Russel Dauterman and Matthew Wilson deliver us a beautiful comic book, despite the raging war that surrounds the two main characters of the issue. Loki attempts to strike a deal with Thor but Jane had had more than a bitter experience with him, so no matter how Loki tries to...ahem, hammer it home, Jane FosThor turns a deaf ear. There is an epic battle between her and Loki, and it's a fight fan wouldn't like to miss. They really go at it, hammer and tongs, and then some. It's good to know that Aaron is keeping alive the incarnation of Loki fans fell in love with in Kieron Gillen's JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY / YOUNG AVENGERS. Dauterman excels yet again, with flying colors from Matthew Wilson. On page 3, more
Mighty Thor is the most fun I’ve ever had reading Thor in a long time. Along with Thor: god of Thunder 1-11, Thor 600, and the Stan Lee and Simonson runs, Mighty Thor by Jason Aaron ranks among the greatest Thor series ever, and it’s only three issues in
Very well done! Thor defeats Loki and saves white elves from Roxxon bombs!
A very Loki centric issue which seems to drive Loki fans crazy, can't say I identify with why. Maybe wait until the next issue before going into a murderous rage, Loki clearly has some inner conflicts to reconcile.
This issue dragged out a bit longer than I expected, and the big solution that Thor came up with to fix Loki’s little red wagon and get to the bottom of things seemed like the kind of solution that should have come to mind right away. The artwork on this series has been PERFECT, I think Russell Dauterman could draw stick figures or a bowl of fruit and give them the kind of dynamic action and unique framing within the panels to make it LITERALLY the best looking thing on the shelf at your LCS. But the art couldn’t save a story that wasn’t anywhere near as good as I was waiting for. I hope that things get ramped up to epic levels next month, and if the end of the issue (both arcs) is any indication, things are going to get WAY CRAY cocomore
It's disappointing that such vibrant art is paired with dismal characterizations. Loki is back to his old tricks and Jane is lost in delusions of grandeur. On the bright side, there was mention of an Odinson book on the horizon in this issue's fan mail. Can't wait!
Not only this comic is too on the nose when it comes to those that criticize the new Thor, but has also decided to take all the growth that Loki had during Al Ewing's run on Loki Agent of Asgard and dump it on the trash.
