Comics: The Gathering - Harlan Ivester
Jan 17, 2018I couldn’t be more excited for the next issue of the Mighty Thor. The team behind this title has been consistently on top of their game this whole time, and I’m one hundred percent positive that it will go down as one of the character’s greatest runs. I honestly loved every single panel. Once again, this kind of quality is entirely deserving of your time and money. Go buy it, and wait anxiously for the next issue like me. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Tom Finn
Jan 20, 2018It looks like the end of the line for Lady Jane, though. She has sacrificed all, but the smallest of chances of being cured. Should she transform again she WILL die. Jason Aarons writing has been nothing short of epic for this whole series. Seeing Mangog wreck Asgard is exciting and sad at the same time, because we all know what comes next. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Oz Longworth
Jan 18, 2018Issue #703 is Aaron and Dauterman doing what they both do best. It's almost as if Aaron's script is the hammer and Dauterman is the only one worthy enough to pick it up and create wonders with it. This is the kind of genius work Black Album era Jay-Z would warn us we're going to miss when it's gone. Read Full Review

IGN - Jesse Schedeen
Jan 17, 2018The Mighty Thor continues to make a strong case for it being not just Marvel's best series, but the best ongoing series from any publisher right now. The book remains remarkably consistent as Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman dig deeper into "the Death of the Mighty Thor." While Marvel is seemingly telegraphing the outcome of this story, that does nothing to diminish its impact as Jane Foster gears up for his last and greatest battle. Read Full Review

The Lost Lighthouse - thelostlighthouse
Jan 18, 2018The build up to the finale for The Mighty Thor is showing a lot of promise, Jane's characterisation and how caught she feels between her two lives is very compelling. While I don't want to see the Mighty Thor go, this run of comics has been successful and in both Marvel and DC characters do happen to have a habit of coming back" like the one who gets a cameo on the final page!

Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison
Jan 20, 2018The Death of the Mighty Thor trudges on with the continued spilling of god-blood and the failing health of a hero. It balances the drama and action mostly quite well. This is a powerful tale from Aaron, Dauterman, and Wilson, and it definitely earns itself a recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review

Geeked Out Nation - Jideobi Odunze
Jan 17, 2018We have seen some madness in throughout the War of The Ten Realms, but The Mighty Thor #703 proved that things could always be worse. Asgardia thought they could turn a blind eye to the chaos around them, and that decision right there is what brought this nightmare to their doorstep. Any reader will want to see what comes next, but that will not come without fear of what else and who else can be lost to the Mangog. Read Full Review

On Comics Ground - Joanna Robinson
Jan 19, 2018Ok, so Jane's cancer has ALWAYS been the main underlying fact of this series. It's mentioned in every issue and imbedded in our brains with good reason. But to now see the seriousness of it, the effects it has finally had on Jane is hard. Really hard, and not just for the characters but for the reader. The severity of the situation has finally been addressed and it couldn't have come at a worse time. You can see Jane's pain in the amazing artwork as she makes the decision wither to save the Realms or die. Especially since Jane has always been so Gun-Ho about being Thor and saving other's lives over her own. Also, don't worry about the mysterious stranger at the end of the comic. It's a set up for the return of one of Marvel's biggest character's and he's just popping in for a quick cameo. Read Full Review

Newsarama - C.K. Stewart
Jan 18, 2018Aaron's dialogue is at times overwrought, even for a scenario as melodramatic and dangerous as the one facing our heroes in The Mighty Thor #703, but artist Russell Dauterman and colorist Matthew Wilson deliver some truly incredible Asgardian action sequences. Read Full Review

This has been one of the most satisfying character runs in a long time. You can tell from this issue that Jason Aaron has been planning this for a while and the payoff thus far has been emotional. Dauterman is having a blast drawing this because the book looks incredibly detailed and colorful. "The Death of the Mighty Thor" has been one of the best Thor stories, on par with "The God Butcher".

There is something almost horror like, in the menacing threats that are contently giving chase this chapter. When paired with the art it is very unsettling in a great way. Asgardia is being pursued by the Mangog with its own horrific results. Jane meanwhile is chased by the cancer that will inevitably kill her after another transformation, as well as Mjolnir as it calls to her. A fantastic issue that I would recommend checking out. The "end credit" Logan scene has no real impact or significance, but if you are excited about his return I am sure it will tie in somehow.

Man, just brutal. Juxtaposing Mangog's alongside Dr. Foster's battle against cancer is brilliant.

Being named "The Death Of Mighty Thor", one could expect things to ge epic and massive in this arc. It sure did, but not in the most standard of way. It's a very emotional kind of epicness for both Jane, Odinson, Odin and now, Falcon. The toll Mjolnir takes on Jane Foster is more than ever felt in how she is depicted. Yes, as a cancer patient nearing death, but also as a kind of addict who can't see what's good for her anymore as people close to her see her kill herself without consideration. All this on an almost Ragnarok level threat to Asgardia is a truly great combination of event. It's well written, well drawn and pushed all the right emotional buttons to create a really genuine feeling toward the characters.

The Mangog is tearing up Asgard, Odin and son are reunited, and Hera steps up in a surprising way, but the main bring-home of this issue is Jane's struggle with her responsibilities as Thor and that her transformation into the Thunder Goddess is accelerating her cancer. Jane's struggle, her bravery, are movingly portrayed by Aaron and Russell Dauterman, who draws an absolutely gorgeous issue. This is a really great book right now.

9.0
As the Mangog starts inflicting fearful damage on Asgardia, Jane's closest friends intervene to force her to choose between a chance at life or the death of embracing the hammer. It's another riveting chapter in an all-time epic story, but once again the palpable sense that this is merely preparation for even greater moments keeps me from rating it a perfect 10/10. Also, the ongoing "will she or won't she" tension regarding Jane's chemo has pretty much reached its boiling point.

I enjoyed this issue. BUT For me the Dr. Strange/Falcon moments didn't fit and detracted from the story and the momentum. Also, the cover led me to expect a little more narrative progression than what we got, which was disappointing - I closed the book and felt like they'd accidentally used the cover for #704 on this issue.
