While we don't have all the answers about what has occurred with the Odinson, The Unworthy Thor #1 is an excellent read for Thor fans that are looking to dig deeper into what has happened with the classic character. While I personally hope the character never wields Mjolnir again, this issue is executed perfectly by gifted storytellers and this miniseries certainly kicks off with a bang. I'm totally in for issue #2 and I can't wait to see what this team has in store for the Odinson going forward. Read Full Review

From start to finish this comic tantalized me with the unknown, as well as references to some of Aaron's previous work with the Marvel Universe. I hadn't had a good look at The Unseen since the end of the Original Sin comics, so I am glad that Aaron and Coipel added him in for a short time. At one point Thor references when he lost Mjolnir to a simple whisper, and in hopes of knowing what was said, Aaron still leaves readers in the dark. The comic is well written, dialogue is great and the art is beautiful from page to page. It looks like I will have another monthly comic to add to my stack. Read Full Review

The quest for redemption is at hand and though Thor is unworthy the story is anything but with tense, vivid action and great character writing. Read Full Review

The Thor we see in this comic is distant from takes we've seen in other comics: he's not as Godlike in this one. He's broken, weak, violent – even the pages have blood splatters. It's awesome. The colours are subdued for the most part but it fits in with the tone rather well. Read Full Review

Jason Aaron clearly cares deeply about this character and this book marks his 50th issue (across a few volumes) writing Thor. A this point, he’s crafted a story that it seems only he can truly finish and his collaborators are onboard with bringing that vision to light. Corporate superhero comic books rarely see a creative team this in sync this early on just because of the nature of the medium and the process and yet, this team rises above. The book ends with a fun reveal and a lot of hope and excitement for the direction that the narrative is moving in. Aaron is creating a newly definitive take on this character. In thirty years, we’ll be talking about his work on Thor with the same regard we hold Walt Simonson’s. Read Full Review

With this latest release marking his fiftieth issue with the character, Im ready to call Jason Aaron the greatest Thor writer of the modern era, and I cant think of anyone who would realistically be able to argue with that assessment. Aaron just flat-out gets the character, and yet at the same time he isnt afraid of making bold, sweeping, game-changing adjustments in order to tell a better story. This latest series puts the former God of Thunder in a wholly unfamiliar position, and revels in the violence and desperation which ensues. And, at the risk of making a fairly obvious pun, theres no denying the fact that Aaron, Copiel and Wilson are more than worthy of telling this latest chapter in the God of Thunders story.

This issue was as rich and visceral as we've come to expect from Jason Aaron on the Thor comics. The characters and their story are just so full of depth and awesomeness. You really get into the Odinson's head, whether he's wallowing in self pity or fighting tooth and nail against unbeatable odds. And Coipel is an amazing artist who really gets into the rich detail of alien monster battles. Read Full Review

I had no idea what to expect going into this and I want more immediately after reading it. This feels like the start of an epic Thor story and I can't wait to see what Aaron has up his sleeve. Read Full Review

The Unworthy Thor #1 is a surprisingly slow start to a comic of such modest length. But even so, the appeal of having Jason Aaron and Olivier Coipel teaming up for a new adventure starring the Odinson is undeniable. This first issue looks fantastic and features a haunting look at the fallen thunder god. Read Full Review

Previously Thor Odinson has lost his way, his hammer, and his arm. He's now scouring the universe trying to find his play. All while a new Thor (Jane Foster) has taken over. Read Full Review

Unworthy Thor #1 is the start of a new chapter full of potential in storytelling. You don't know where this story will take us, but enough was done to make this worth the ride to Odinson reclaiming his power. Hopefully the journey will be as exciting as the destination. Read Full Review

From just this first issue, it's plain to see that this is a must-read series for all fans of Thor, but it is also just a well-written story that is beautifully illustrated. Aaron is crafting a great story of a man who has nothing left to lose, so we want to see the heights he will climb to attain his godly status once more. Read Full Review

Is he more edgy, darker, more intense? I guess - but that doesn't make me a fan. Read Full Review

Overall, The Unworthy Thor #1 creates a narrative that has the right impact. It gives us a former God of Thunder who has to fight harder and cope with being weaker than he's ever been before. It brings out some of his less noble traits, but he still carries himself like a warrior. He gets a chance to become more worthy and he jumps at that chance, if only to ensure he doesn't have to bite his enemies anymore. Read Full Review

For those waiting to find out what the future holds for Odinson, the stage is being set up to deliver them. Jason Aaron is joining forces with Olivier Coipel and Matthew Wilson to put the spotlight on the former Thor as he sets out to regain his worthiness. There may be some that desire his return to glory right away, but this shake up provides some mystery and intrigue to the character. There's a sense of anything goes, and you won't want to miss the next step in the former Thor's road to redemption. Read Full Review

The Unworthy Thor #1 is a great companion to the superb Mighty Thor, with gorgeous art and an interesting set up that promises a lot for the future of the Odinson and his corner of the Marvel Universe. I'm hoping that we do finally find out the reason for the unworthiness, but even if we just get a good Thor story out of it that would be fine too! Check it out at your local comic shop or digitally now. Read Full Review

Even if you haven’t read much Thor or if you are Thor’s number one fan I highly suggest picking up this issue. It was so much fun and beautiful to look at. Odinson is on a journey to reclaim who he once was, and wow we are off to an impressive start to that journey. This may only be a five issue mini-series but this series could end up being a definitive moment in Thor’s history that you’re not going to want to miss. Read Full Review

So, if you miss the old Thor and are routing for him to get a mystical smashy stick back, this could be a good series for you. Even if you like new Thor, you may like to see another doing his own thing. I, am actually interested to see where Odinson's story will go... once it really gets started. Read Full Review

Artist Oliver Coipel's action sequences and his depictions of the various creatures Odinson encounters are intense, and fully capture the brutality of a man with nothing to lose, but everything to reclaim. Colorist Matthew Wilson also makes great use of a darker palette selection, further enhancing the atmosphere of the story. Read Full Review

Ultimately, The Unworthy Thor #1 feels like more of the same, a big metal space opera about gods and monsters, little different than what else is going on with this character. That's certainly not a bad thing and is a testament to how strong Aaron's vision for the character is but it's also something of a statement of how little this story has changed and advanced in the last four years. Read Full Review

While it's to be expected of a first issue, this one doeslittle more than set up story and recap the past. We get some greatcharacterization of The Odinson and we end on a nice cliffhanger, however thisissue falls a little flat. No need to jump ship from this book yet though asthe future still seems bright.  Read Full Review

I'm a massive fan of Coipel's art. It does not disappoint here.

Finally coming back full circle on Jason Aaron's run of Thor. Can't wait to read on and find out what was whispered to Odinson that made him Unworthy. Well paced, great story and good artwork open the series strong

It's so good to have the OG Thor back!

Kind of jumped around a lot, if you're new to Thor like I am, it is confusing. Great read though, can't wait to see where it goes from here!

Strong start.

I got everything I wanted, and more: some answers, even more questions, the best space travel goat, fights where Odinson doesn't prevail, Beta Ray Bill... I can't wait for the next issues!

A great issue. The art is terrific. Great delving into the Odinson's character. My only minor quibble is that the Tolkien-sized fantasy is not as huge and overwhelmingly cool as The Mighty Thor. Still, the next issue looks better, with Beta Ray Bill, one of my all time favorite Marvel Comics characters now added to the story.

It's exciting to catch back up with Odinson. The artwork looks great and he kicks ass on his flying goat. Plus, a surprise appearance from a fan favourite at the end of the issue.

I'm not really a Thor kind of guy, but I liked this. Beta Ray Bill is as always a welcomed addition. If this book is a hit can we expect a Toothgnasher spin-off? Christ, I hope so.

Hell Yeah! Finally, a Comic starring the Real Thor, and it is damn good. My main annoyances with this comic stem more from previous grievances, such as Thor being unworthy because Nick Fury whispered something in his ear (Which, come on, when it gets revealed its going to be disappointing, I think everyone knows that) I also don't like how Thor became a drunk immediately after losing his powers, which just makes him look like a pathetic loser, but these don't take away from the comic itself...for the most part, and I'm excited to see were this goes.

This was a bit of a slow start for a limited series. There are not a lot of surprises and revelations. This issue is mostly action and the foundation necessary to get the heroes together and the journey started. There is some pretty good pencils and inks to see here. The writing did a pretty good job of telling what they did. It looks like it could be a worth while series.
