ENTER THE SERPENT! The Sons of the Serpent want the man called Thor dead. And they have a name: Sigurd Jarlson. But the man called Thor has a name too...the name of their leader. And that name...is Blake. Somewhere in the city, a man with a hammer faces his enemy...
Videos by ComicBook.comI don't even know where to begin with my praise for this issue, that's how good it is. Ewing is doing everything right, and that's apparent from the first page. The issue starts with the current version of Loki speaking with Odin, and it's really everything you could want from Ewing writing these two characters. Questions are answered, but there's still so much mystery. Every speech bubble feels pregnant with meaning, which is honestly the best way to describe all of the dialogue in this issue. Ewing is hitting another level with Thor lately; it feels like there's so much going on under the surface of the story, and the story is so compelling that you don't even notice there isn't a fight in the issue until it's almost over.

An issue that isn't as action packed as prior issues, but still carries the punches in the story. Al Ewing is digging DEEP into the Thor mythos to tell a story that's shaping up to be extremely interesting Read Full Review
The Mortal Thor #5 proves how confident this series is in its storytelling. Al Ewing strips away spectacle to focus on consequence, identity, and manipulation, using Odin, Loki, and Sigurd to blur past and present in ways that feel both reverent and unpredictable. Pasqual Ferry ensures the issue never feels static, turning interrogation rooms and coffee shops into stages for visual storytelling rich with subtext. The result is a tense, cerebral chapter that trusts the reader and ends with a reveal that complicates everything we thought we understood. Read Full Review
Ewing's ability to find a new take on characters older than most all of us is remarkable, and Sigurd Jarlson's story has gotten my attention. Add in excellent visuals and coloring, and you've got a comic worth your time and money. Read Full Review
