This was a dizzy, psychedelic sugar-rush of a finale punctuated with operatic violence and moments of real emotional weight. Pick it up. Read Full Review

THOR #4 is a rollicking good time of a comic book, with plenty of fire and lightning to make any action fan happy. True, the characterization doesn't delve too deep, but for the most part this isn't important. This is a book full of personality, action, and incredible art. Read Full Review

If you love Thor, there is no one better to currently capture his voice than Aaron. His love for the character, Odinson's mythos, and the Asgardian Realms are magnificent. Read Full Review

A great finish to one of the most refreshingly ridiculous storylines in Aaron's time writing Thor. Touching, funny, gorgeous".this is what comics are all about. Read Full Review

Nothing good ever happens when Thanos shows up and this is proof. But even still, Thor won't let that stop him from doing everything he can to defeat Cinder and get Hel back in order. And boy does it show with amazing Storytelling and artwork on every page. He may not be worthy to hold the Hammer but he is still God of Thunder for a reason. Read Full Review

As a reader, I found myself immersed in the action and intrigue and enjoyed all of the character interactions, especially and including the Thanos/Hela scene. Read Full Review

In the end, this book was perfectly fine, and even provides some great comedy beats, but Aaron is going to have to bring back a little bit of the emotional weight he tossed out the window after Janes departure. A Thor book should feel epic in every way. Gods move amongst mortals, having earth-shaking battles in this title. Everything is big, and the consequences should always matter at that scale. Humor is great, especially coming from Aaron, but there needs to be a little bit more balance. He had a strong start, but once the Hel arc began, it just felt like Aaron wanted to do pure comedy, despite that not matching the contents of the story. Hopefully, hell get back on track soon, instead of descending into the wackiness that was his X-men run. Read Full Review

It is an effective introduction to a series that is sure to feature far wilder moments ahead that doesn't let readers forget about the people waging this war in its final pages. Read Full Review

The war for Hel is far more delightful then you would expect. I enjoyed the issue even though it has its flaws. Thanos is a bit too comedic for my taste. There is not a lot of comedy thrown in when I thought the focus should be on the drama. I still enjoyed the Hel out of this issue and would recommend you check it out. Read Full Review

Thor #4 is very much a mixed bag. The high points of Thor fighting Sindr, Thori having a crisis of faith, and the return of the Valkyrie are cool. However, many parts of the story are rough, and the artwork makes it hard to get sucked into the book. I can tentatively recommend it to those whove enjoyed this new series, but you have to be tolerant of Mike del Mundos artwork and the goofier aspects of the story. Read Full Review

While I enjoyed a few of the moments this issue, all the developments come at a hectic and fast pace then end before they get a chance to be appreciated, leaving the book feeling like too much time was spent developing threats, with little to no pay off by issues end, obviously with the exception of one big last swerve at the end. One of Marvel most consistent titles seems to be taking a dip, and with the art continuing to be muddy and un-enjoyable, this isn't a title I'd recommend to anyone but the biggest Thor fans right now.  Read Full Review

A rushed issue feels at odds with everything we've seen before, making for an abrupt chapter. Read Full Review

I really enjoyed this. Thori is the goodest boy.

This book continues to be a wild and fun ride. Sure the art takes a bit getting used to, but I think at some points it actually works well.

A satisfying finale to a tremendous opening Thor story. I’m sad Thanos had to break up with Hela so he can go do his thing in Infinity Wars, and it makes it seem like Marvel didn’t have things all planned out by writing Thanos and Hela as a couple in the first place. The art is still awful but after a couple issues it’s bearable. Aaron still continues his excellent Thor run and it is not disappointing so far.

Thor leads his allies to a significant victory in the War of the Realms, and the story is polished off with a cluster of surprise twists. It's all quite satisfying, but this is a case where the art and the script lean on each other for support. Rather than producing a sum greater than the whole of the parts, the relationship points out weaknesses in each component. And there's more than a few of them.

A pretty decent book that continues Aaron's solid Thor run.

Cool stuff.

Good wrap to the arc, I wish I were more in the loop on the continuity with Thanos. Apparently several readers didn't get what was taken on the last page, as evidenced in the letters column of issue #6. I had to flip back a page to figure it out so it probably could have been made more clear... But it was also rewarding to look and find what was taken for myself, so maybe the blame this time rests squarely on you, the readers!

Enjoyed the story, but.... man. This art stinks.

Del Mundo's art just isn't growing on me. The colors are gorgeous but it's so incredibly flat and lacking in depth that it takes active effort to separate out all the elements of a given panel. Combined with Aaron's wordiness, this has made these four issues a slog to get through even as the overall storyline has been good.

Butt ugly art with no life to it.

just reporting in to say: not gonna read a book that is this horribly ugly. and the last time I tried it had enough stupid humor to make Zdarsky blush.

please give us a real Thor book again. kthxbai.
