"THE LEGACY OF THANOS" - PART ONE!
Nic Klein returns with guest writer Torunn Gr?nbekk (JANE FOSTER & THE MIGHTY THOR, PUNISHER: WAR JOURNAL) for a Valkyrie-filled adventure! When a universally loathed foe kidnaps Thor's baby sister Laussa and drags her so deep beyond Hel that not even Sif's All-Sight can see her, the God of Thunder must call upon the one ally who has traveled so far into the unknown before: R?na. But what dark secrets of Asgard's bloody past lay beneath the frozen waters?
Rated T+
This is easily one of the best jumping-on points for a modern Marvel book that I've seen in recent memory. Read Full Review

Thor #29 kicks off a brand new story arc that looks like it will finally focus on that vision Thor had about Thanos. The comic delves right into the meat of the story and goes from point A to B to C to get everything set for the journey to come with Thor and Runa as he sets out to rescue his baby sister Laussa from Corvus Glaive.While the story isn't that excitable, it does get there near the end and sets up the next issue for even more action for both the heroes and the villain. Nic Klein's return to art on the book is a welcome surprise and makes the book look good like in previous story arcs in this series. Read Full Review
I hadn't been reading thor but I decided to pick this up after it was recommended by my owner of my lcs and man am I glad he did recommended this. This is a fantastic book with beautiful artwork. I'm hooked now I have to see where this story goes.
I was a bit worried about Gronbekk taking over, since I was really liking what Cates was doing, and I haven't loved everything she's been writing, Valkyrie-wise. But this was great. Seriously.
Not a bad start to Grønbekk's temporary run on Thor. This issue started off strong for me, but lost a little steam as time went on. This was still enjoyable, however. The beginning of this book is the first time I've read Rūna and I enjoyed her for the most part, particularly the bar scene. With the reference to Jane Foster & the Mighty Thor not long after that, I may need to check it out when I can. Either way, this was a fairly entertaining book.
It's a solid start to a nice, desperate quest. The prose sets the stakes appropriately high, helped along by art that's consistently good and often great. The pace is a little questionable; the end in particular feels abrupt. But the core job of an arc's first issue gets done well: This sinks a hook of interest in me.
This was pretty solid. I can't complain too much. Just lacked a little in the ending.
