THOR VS. DOCTOR DOOM! It's THOR against DOOM in a battle of wits, morals and, of course-might! Doom's latest plot lies deep in Asgard's history. And nothing, not even time itself, will stop him from getting what he wants-except maybe for Thor, who must pursue him to protect reality itself!
Rated T+
Thor #32 works well to position Doctor Doom as a major threat that Thor and Valkyrie will have a tough time dealing with. How this connects to the greater story involving Thanos drives a lot of the interest in what happens next. That is something we hopefully will see more of in the next issue of Thor. Read Full Review
Gedeon delivers some great art that is visually fun and interesting. I like the character designs and how the art manages to capture the power and presence of Doom. Read Full Review
Final Thoughts:Thor #32 continues to show how far the plot thickens with the missing dead of Helheim and Valhalla and how Dr. Doom fits into all of this. However, most of what's set up isn't that thrilling or compelling in the execution. Dr. Doom's presence here isn't that great and his involvement with Hela's capture and the missing dead of Valhalla and Helheim is pretty underwhelming so far. The art change from Nic Klein to Juan Gedeon is very noticeable in the comic especially when Thor is in action. Overall, the comic is not terrible but it's not great either. Read Full Review
There are some solid, fun ideas at play with this Thor storyline, but to say the execution is messy would be an understatement. Read Full Review
The read is great but the art isn't top.
The script starts off very strong but unravels a bit toward the end. The plot remains intriguing as the mysteries pile up.
But of course the big talking point for this issue is the art. There's nothing *inherently* bad about it, but it's a massive shift from what's come before. It clashes with the tone of the story, too.
It's still a good comic--but one that gets there by overcoming some regrettable setbacks.
This is such a weird issue. First, the art change is incredibly jarring. Second, the pacing just gets destroyed here. Gronbekk's run on the title has been so good that it's kind of shocking just how off this issue feels. I don't know what happened, and I hope the next one gets things back on track.
Such a shame what this book has become for some time now. I think the intensions are good but everything it's a terrible mess.
A bit of meandaring is happening right now with Thor, some stuff happening but not as quickly as I would have prefered it. Juan Gedeon is one of my favorite artists but I don't think his stylized art fits serious tone of this Thor. Maybe it would have for some non-stop-action-space-viking adventure but not just characters standing around and talking
This book has gotten a little more confusing for me, personally. The whole time-jump thing with Thor's sister isn't my favorite, and Doom's story with Hela didn't give me much to get excited about. Speaking of Doom, I really wished Marvel hadn't advertised this the way they did with the cover and the description, because Doom and Thor don't even come face-to-face in this book. I really hope things pick up with the next issue.
I feel like it has potential. There are some good moments, but it's all wrapped in some odd execution that makes it feel jumbled and not purposeful.
It's getting a bit too messy to enjoy.
Donny Cates breaks the streak of quality Thor we've had since Dan Jurgens' run. Maybe he'll get Daredevil and break that next.
