Thor #13
| Writer | Donny Cates |
| Artist | Nic Klein |

"PREY" PART FIVE OF SIX!
A vengeful Donald Blake, Thor's enchanted ax, Jarnbjorn, and the World Tree - not a good combination! With Thor still nowhere to be found, Blake is about to finish what he started: the end of Asgard! Meanwhile, Valkyrie manages to track down the long-absent Odin, but he is not the same All-Father he once was. Can Odin rise to the occasion and help save his son and Asgard? And who will help Lady Sif and the others in Dimension Blood? Surprises abound as the gods face the fight of their eternal lives in the penultimate chapter of "Prey"!

Black Nerd Problems - Chris Aiken
Mar 23, 2021We are entering the final phase of this arc. Asgard seems to finally be turning things around. I feel like I can see how this story is coming to an end. I would be pleasantly surprised if it's any different than what is expected. Either way, I'm sure Cates and crew will bring it to a satisfying conclusion. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - Weird Science Jim
Mar 17, 2021Donny Cates gives us the penultimate issue of his Prey arc, and it's damn good! We are in for a huge finale next month, and while most of what we get here sets that up, it's big, nasty fun with a ton of fantastic characters. I can't wait to see Donald Blake get his! Read Full Review

AIPT - Dan Spinelli
Mar 17, 2021Like most Donny Cates comics, Thor is an absolute blast to read with a visual feast on every page. But is this a comic that's exactly trying to say something about Thor as a character"and should that even matter? Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Aaron Phillips
Mar 17, 2021In general, while the issue doesn't solicit an evocative reaction, it does lay the pieces in place to set up for a glorious final showdown between Thor and Donald Blake. Cates has done well to position the pieces of his plot to keep the readers firmly hooked every month. It'll be fascinating to see how this one concludes, and I, for one, can't wait to see it. Knowing Cates, he's got more in store for these characters than we can anticipate! Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Nick Devonald
Mar 17, 2021The Prey storyline is heating up for an epic final battle in the next issue. Cates’ clear love for the character comes across in every page, and the stakes have never been higher. The art team of Klein and Wilson is second to none and each page is stunning. Epic writing, blockbuster action, gorgeous pages, there’s nothing to not love. Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Cat Wyatt
Mar 17, 2021Thor #13 is a dramatic addition to this plot arc. One that I have to admit I'm enjoying even more than I expected. The whole Donald Black plot has been intense and just a little bit harrowing, adding some much-needed consequences to that backstory. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Mar 22, 2021While there was plenty of power showcased Thor #13 is very much the calm before the storm. Every character involved in this story has united to take on the unstoppable rage that has completely blinded Donald Blake. In the process we get a lot of strong character moments that build hype for how the "Prey" story arc will end in its final chapter. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - Dispatchdcu
Mar 17, 2021There was definitely power and pure awesomeness in this installment of THOR that can't be overlooked. Klein's illustrations, for one, were incredible and vibrant. Nevertheless, I can't help but miss the lack of story that's been missing for quite some time in this series. Readers, it's just masked in pomp, circumstance, and banality. Read Full Review

It's great to see Jane so empowered, she has a fairly justified part in the comic along with Stranger. Thor while in a different battle to free himself. The end was very crazy, anything can happen.

Nic Klein's art is superb, the way he tells the story leaves me open-mouthed. My hand shakes with emotion every time I turn this comic, I don't want to damage anything on the pages. Everything was going well, until the end. Seriously?? C'mon man!

Awesome penultimate issue for this arc that sets the stage for the finale well. Cates didn't necessarily NEED that introduction for Odin, but it is appreciated and well-written. As for Donald, he's been taking down a bunch of Asgardians and their allies, and now it's coming back to bite him in the ass. Plus, Thor's spirit inhabiting the Destroyer is just so cool and is a nice, sort of, callback to Donald being interested in the weapon earlier in the story. Great stuff once again.

I'm really enjoying this arc and Nic Klein's artwork, but Odin and Freyja already made up in War of the Realms and Thor (2018), feels like we're just retreading old ground with that subplot.

Visually the best Thor in Years. The not so nordic version of Thor is refreshing as hell

This has been an entertaining story in the mold of "all is lost, but wait, the heroes are mounting a comeback!" Good stuff.

All the forces opposing Donny Blake come together with fine cinematic timing, setting up the mother of all climactic fights for the next issue. Good plotting, decent dialogue (maybe a little terse). I'm not feeling the art as much as I should, though; while the details are great, the blocking in the last act isn't as epic as it wants to be.
