If youre looking for a definitive Thor story, or a single issue you could show to a new reader to get them onboard, your search is over. This issue, in many ways, is the not-so-obvious origin of Odinson. No, it doesnt tell of his first time picking up Mjolnir, but it does show how he became worthy of picking it up in the first place, which is what Aaron has been telling us is the defining trait for Thor all along. Its why he felt like he had lost everything when he became unworthy, and its why hes been trying so hard to regain it ever since. Read Full Review

Jason Aaron has done it again, this time with the help of guest artist Tony Moore. Together, these two have crafted a more grounded story featuring the God of Thunder, pushing a young Thor into the throws of mortal love. With great pacing and an interesting cast, this is a must read for fans. Read Full Review

Bottom Line: Once again, Aaron delivers an endearing, fun installment in one of Marvel's most consistently well-crafted books of the 21st century thus far. Read Full Review

Aaron does a great job of crafting a story of both love and loss that connects to Thor's ultimate quest to be worthy of Mjolnir. The story is plotted and paced well and it has a lighter, more lyrical style than the last arc. This welcome aside will hopefully have relevance to the next arc for the character. Read Full Review

This is a beautifully realised story with a terrible (and absolutely avoidable) flaw at its heart that the strong writing and art cannot quite compensate for. Read Full Review

This was a fun story with some great art from Tony Moore.

Loki's plan to break his brother's heart backfires when romancing a fiery Midgardian warrior only serves to deepen his appreciation of mortals. Plot and characters are arranged exquisitely and treated very well by both words and art. The only drawback I can see - a very small one - is that the conclusion is rushed. If ever there was a book I would happily pay an extra buck to get 10 more pages of, this is it.

We go on a brief detour for a one-off with young Thor. It's a simple but effective story with excellent art from Tony Moore. Very new reader friendly.

Fantastic.

Very good and emotional issue.

A phenomenal look back.

This was a neat story and I liked the love interest, which is pretty rare for me. Also lol poor Loki, even when Thor doesn’t know they’re fighting, Loki still loses.

Its been a while since we’ve seen young Thor and his return does not disappoint. Loki is again written perfectly by Aaron and you love him because he’s Loki and you hate him for playing with Thor’s feelings by planning Ericka the Red’s death. Also did anyone else notice Ericka the Red and Eric the Red seem very similar?
