Notably absent from this book is the opening page that explains what's happened in previous issues. I'm not sure why it was omitted, but it would have been a welcome addition considering how this book has been delayed for months! Otherwise, this is the best issue of Thor yet. Read Full Review

What a difference an issue can make. In the past, despite my enjoyment of the series, I found myself secretly wishing a different writer would take over Thor - and soon.

Thor #6 was another fine read. JMS has truly found his home on this title. If you like grand tales delivered in the proper dramatic fashion then you will certainly enjoy Thor.
