ALL-FATHER ODIN, FATHER OF RUIN! ROAD TO THE WAR OF THE REALMS!
For months, the realms have burned with the flames of Malekith's war, while Almighty Odin did nothing. Now Asgardia is lost in the sun, the Rainbow Bridge is shattered and the All-Father sits alone in the empty ruins of Old Asgard, drunk on mead and despair. If Odin is going to save what's left of the realms, he'll have to undertake the most difficult labor of his very long life. Not by being the omnipotent All-Father, but by finally being just a father to the mighty Thor.
Rated T+
A rare achievement in humanizing gods, excelling the action, and touching audiences. Read Full Review
Mike Del Mundo delivers another beautiful work of art in this issue. Every page and panel is glorious in both style and detail. Read Full Review
Writer Jason Aaron provides us with a hard hitting father-son conflict in THOR #10. The hammers and fists fly, but the core of the story is the conflict in Odin's heart. An abusive father tries to be better. The art team of Del Mundo and D'Alfonso do an amazing job. This was a nice interlude issue before the big war. Read Full Review
Overall, Thor puts out a great emotional, and simultaneously action packed issue, that feels more like what we were previously getting from this series, and seemed to be missing a bit lately. The art even comes through in a big way. If this isn't a title you read regularly, I think its one you should then read. Read Full Review
A tale of dysfunction and rage and terrible parenting, all shown through a prism of gods on the night before their final war. It's hard to read, but very much worth it. Read Full Review
This issue is genuinely compelling, crafting a prelude to "War of the Realms" and a heartbreaking character piece all at once. Read Full Review
"Thor" #10 establishes an interesting rift between father and son but loses some of the nuance Aaron and Mundo's past works are known for. Read Full Review
So, anyway - can't recommend this one at all. Read Full Review
Poor Odin. This run of Thor has been great.
Heartbreaking issue. Odin wants to be a better father to Thor but ends up making things worse between them.
Great art by Mike Del Mundo. The highlight for me was the flashback page featuring the younger versions of Thor. Makes me hope they go back to his classic look soon (long hair and no beard, also not a fan of the golden arm).
Wow, really good issue.
Heartwarming it is. The Father-son equation was messed up but thanks to the writer for the "I'm proud of you, son" trope. Loki is all up to his games. All-in-all this issue greater than fair but lesser than excellent
