A fun issue with some really otherworldly art. Read Full Review

Thor #3 offers up a surprise marriage, a seven-way god-fight, schemes galore, brilliant humour, earnest heartstring-pulling, and just a touch of murder! (Gotta keep Thori happy.) This arc is sliding comfortably into place as another "read it, love it, treasure it, enshrine it with the all-time greats" Thor story. This particular issue falls just a tiny step short of total perfection, but the creators have given us every sign that they'll be hitting that mark - repeatedly - before the story is through.

Bottom Line: Aaron is at the top of his game writing this book. If I were to dream up the perfect big budget premium superhero television series, it would probably be storyboarded a lot like this. And it still wouldn't be as good as this comic. Read Full Review

Hel has frozen over, and someone has a wedding in it. A story this operatic needs a Wagnerian score and a deep draught of laudanum to wash it down with. Read Full Review

If you're still on the Thor Ragnorock kick (which let's face, it we ALL are ha-ha) you will enjoy seeing the Beloved Queen of Hel, Hela come into the story. But she is just a small mix of what's going on in the bigger issue. It's only issue 3 and things are getting hot for Thor and his companions in Hel...in a manner of speaking. Read Full Review

While the issue left me wanting in the art department, it is still a crazy ride and a great read. Jason Aaron still has some interesting ideas for Thor and his supporting cast, and I'm excited to see where he takes them. Read Full Review

There is a careful balance being struck between heavy metal fun and the terrible onslaught to come, but it's a tightrope that both Aaron and Del Mundo walk exceedingly well. Read Full Review

Like I said, some of the art choices do get in the way of the flow of the story but overall, this is another great entry in Aaron's continuing Thor epic. Read Full Review

It was a down issue for Aaron and Del Mundo overall. If you love THOR and are in the middle of the story, get it. If you think the summary page next issue can clue you in enough, maybe you skip it... Read Full Review

This story just keeps getting better and more involved as Jason Aaron has deftly captured these characters and their motivations in a way that make you appreciate them more when they appear. Read Full Review

Thor continues to be alright, but unless your a long time follower of the title there isn't much here that is very intriguing for new readers to jump into.  There's a lot of characters to juggle in this series so far, and each cliffhanger adds to the madness, so the background is necessary to fully be invested in all the events occurring.  Combined with suspect art in spots, and muddy transitions, Thor is still passable but not all that recommendable right now.

The new Thor is drowning in exposition and artwork that favors style over storytelling. This relaunch has been a big misstep. Read Full Review

If you're new to Jason Aaron's Thor, I can't recommend this as a jumping on point. It feels like picking up a book halfway into the series. Read Full Review

The art really holds this series back and I can’t help but think what it would look like with Russell Dauterman drawing it. The story is again great by Jason Aaron and even though the War if the Realms event hasn’t started yet, the war has still been raging for a while now. The character writing is great, especially for Loki. Mike Del Mundo’s art, unfortunately, draws Loki like the Joker and Thor’s hair and beard are drawn pure yellow. I love the twist where Loki murders Thor though

P. good. Love Mundo's art.

As though the war in Hel wasn't mad enough, a Crazy Loki Scheme™ obliges Hela and Balder to unify the realm against Sindr by getting hitched. And that's just the appetizer for Thor's even crazier scheme to recruit the Einherjar out of Valhalla. Script and art both deliver plenty of fun, but the reading experience lands well short of all-time great. The visuals are terribly busy, and readers who expect a full, logical explanation of why this marriage is necessary won't find it in this issue.

This book started off with me not really having any clue what was going on or what was supposed to mean what, because although I've been reading Thor since the beginning of Legacy, you can tell this issue had tons of characters that were introduced throughout Aarons run and it just had me lost not really knowing who they were. Halfway through though, the story picked up and the reliance on past characters dissipated. It finished on a high note and definitely was a decent read, even for someone with little Thor background. The only other knock I'd say is the art. while not bad ( I actually like the style)sometimes it just seems like the artist crams too much in one spot and some of the panels are hard to initially see whats going on.

The art is very hard to follow. It is a combination of being too busy, not flowing well panel to panel, and everyone is painted like a part of the background. There needs to be more contrast between characters and the environment.

The art is so bad it is dragging the story down. Color still looks like they vomited on each panel and swirled it around. Also, many panels don’t even jive with what is actually going on, or do they? Who can fucking tell?

I don't like the art that much. Or the contrived way for Son of Odin to call in the Valkyrior.

The timeline shifts between a "now" and "then" process but without labeling it as such so I was actually rather confused until I got halfway through, wondering if I missed an issue.

The tone and art of this new volume just isn’t for me.

I just can't take this putrid art anymore. Just not for me. When a book is drawn like this, it's like they are saying "we don't care." And the writing is so full of bad humor, it feels like Zdarsky is here. Not worth putting up with. Dropping Thor for the first time ever.
