  It is kind of funny looking back on these books these days as Thor's secret identity feels entirely unnecessary. Yet in spite of that I think this issue opens with a really touching, well-made set of scenes all about Eric Masterson returning home after a prolonged adventure to the Black Galaxy. I also liked how Excalibur is brought into the story investigating an earlier incident between Thor and the Juggernaut. Compared to other 90s Thor comics, this little story ark is doing pretty good so far, but the era's flaws are still very present.
  
  Throwing in Code Blue, the Wrecking Crew, the Enchantress, and Ulik on top of all this felt like a little too much, though. This series just cannot focus on a few good characters to save its life. It's fun I guess especially when Excalibur takes on the Wrecking Crew, only for the Wrecker to trick Excalibur into thinking Thor is the Juggernaut. That's a classic superhero vs. superhero kind of plot, but the art being inconsistent doesn't help with even that reading great. more
