Though the art continues to be one of this series' greatest strengths, I have to admit I'm a bit sad to see Olivier Coipel hand the reins over to Marko Djurdjevic. Coipel's art had a certain Kirby-esque energy and flare to it that really took this series to another level, and while Djurdjevic's work is gorgeous in its own right, it lacks some the life that Coipel brought to these pages. Nevertheless, Thor is still a beautiful comic to behold, and I don't imagine that changing anytime soon. And as long as JMS is at the helm, I can't imagine it losing its title as the best Marvel comic on the stands, either. If only it came out a little more frequently... Read Full Review
If you haven't been following this comic, this is probably a good jumping-on spot. I doubt many readers will be jumping off here. Read Full Review

This is a great issue for fans and a fun start to a new arc. Oh, and for all of you who think that duct tape can fix anything, see the last scene featuring Blake and his "walking stick." Ha! Read Full Review
Beyond the comedy, Straczynski lays on a few more surprises for the characters as Balder makes the decision regarding Asgard's future and Thor finally learns why Sif didn't appear along with the other Asgardians. It's great to see that Straczynski's new status quo continues to work just as well as the previous one. Now, all it needs to do is get back on something approximating a monthly schedule.

Straczynski is still a master storyteller, and is producing of comics best pieces, but every once in a while there’s a hiccup that derails all the excitement. The best I can say about this piece is that I’m waiting for things to blow up again, because Thor is epic and each issue should be just as epic within the given 22 pages. I do hope he is able to push Djurdjevic past his limits and transform the artist from a great cover designer to a great interior penciller as well. Until that happens, I’ll just stay letdown by this most recent issue. Read Full Review
