If you weren't already looking forward to the "War of the Realms" event, this issue will most likely change that. Read Full Review
Lee Garbetts art is fantastic. All of the characters look amazing and so much emotion is expressed in how the characters are rendered. A great looking issue. Read Full Review
There is a long way to go before we conclude this event, and I could not be happier about that. Read Full Review
Bottom Line: The visuals didn't as epic as they could have and the plot points could have used more time (partiularly Jane's), but it's mostly still a strong book that's more than worth your time and money. Read Full Review
It's the last issue before all Hell Breaks Loose in the Marvel Universe and it's been building for too long now. Sure, you could skip this issue but, why would you want to?! Read Full Review
On its own, this issue does a lot of table setting for War of the Realms. But it's still Jason Aaron, and that's still really good. Read Full Review
A wonderful mother-son story tarnished by a secondary plot line and some uneven artwork. Read Full Review
Overall, this might not be the most important issue of Thor youll read in the coming months, but it serves as a nice breath of fresh air before all hell breaks loose in The War of the Realms. Yes, its slow in pace, with even scenes of Thor and Freyja stopping natural disasters all over the world, seeming sleepy and mundane, but its also an important emotional beat that sets up the story to come. Could you skip this issue, and be fine going into Aarons mega-event? Yes. Is it recommended that you do? No. Read Full Review
Aaron gives us a perfect prelude to the War of the Realms and the art is fantastic. I love Thori and I’m hoping Mjornir will be returning soon. What a run by Aaron.
Garbett's art was incredible here. A nice "calm before the storm" issue as the War of the Realms is finally about to arrive.
While not as emotionally impactful as the previous issue, for me, I still really enjoyed this. I'm super pumped for all things War of the Realms.
Maybe the real ultra-powerful magic hammer was the friends we made along the way.
This actually got me somewhat ready for the War of the Realms. Really well told story.
Nice issue.
We take this issue to catch up on all of the key players. No more detours, time for the War of the Realms.
