Aaron Kuder does some amazing work with the art in this issue. The visuals are stunning and the characters look fantastic. The art perfectly captures the tone and mood Cates has set for the story. A great looking issue with some awesome detailed panels throughout. Read Full Review

Donny Cates knows just how long to tease readers before giving them answers, and he’s timed that to perfection here by exploring Mjolnir’s new problems. Filled with plenty of references to previous Thor stories it’s sure to delight long time fans without alienating newer readers. It’s nice to see Beta Ray Bill having a larger role. Guest artist Aaron Kuder does a fantastic job with the art in Kleins absence. Another excellent issue in an extraordinary run. Read Full Review

Thor continues to be haunted by the vision of the Black Winter, the growing heaviness of Mjolnir, and makes up with an old friend. Read Full Review

Fun and legitimately creative, the new storyline kicks off with some strong character moments and some very interesting story ideas. Read Full Review

Donny Cates does it again as he hits another home run with Thor #7 alongside some fun artwork by Aaron Kuder. Cates takes what he did with his first arc and furthers the major plot points with Thor having an important conversation with Beta Ray Bill. The direction the conversation between the long-time friends took created greater anticipation for what is coming in future for this series. Read Full Review

All in all, a solid issue that we got out of Thor #7. Though as I said, there is much work that will have to be done in order to sell us on the situation with Mjolnir, and whatever is coming for Thor and Asgard. Read Full Review

I liked this first issue of the next big Donny Cates Thor arc. Kuder captures the weirdness of heroes and the normalcy of humans on Earth supplying plenty of awe to go around. At this point, the surprises Cates manages to stuff into every issue makes him a must-read comics writer no matter the story or creative team. It's just a matter of whether the story itself is to your tastes. in this case, aside from the pace, it's another example of how Donny Cates is great at entertaining. Read Full Review

Mjolnir's issues, it landing in Broxton and the subsequent suitors of the hammer will be next issue's focus, and I'm excited to see that. “The Devourer King” arc was some of the most epic storytelling I've ever seen, so Cates is dialing it back a bit and bringing us some homegrown fun with “Hammerfall”. This issue wasn't meant to blow your socks off, but Thor is certainly headed in a good direction. Read Full Review

Thor #7 began yet another arc for Thor, and it did so with style. It blended many thematic elements present in Thor's latest few runs, but it did so in a unique manner. The writing is using those moments as building blocks, cleverly combining them as a foundation for something more. And yet, I find myself strongly looking forward to seeing where this latest arc will go. It's going to be hard to predict, and that makes it all the better. Read Full Review

It sure is okay. The archetypal mediocre comic. Read Full Review

This issue will keep you interested enough. However, its a bit of a let down after two back to back killer issues. Sure, its hard to hit home run after home run but we dont need to cork our own bats to get the win. Instead of grabbing from the tool shed that already exists, Cates seemingly creates a new character, or at least irrelevant character, to grace us all with some epic power. Will it be long term? Lets hope not. Is it probably all for $&@$ and giggles? Probably. But this reader hates to be mislead nor does he like the carpet ripped out from under him for an idea that was never referenced or indicated prior. If the events of this issue amount to nothing, then all that remains from this issue is a long talk with a horse man. Is that a good issue? I really dont think so. Lets see if THOR #8 actually builds on this story or if THOR #7 was just a humorous stunt to fill an issue. Currently, Im giving this issue a hard pass. Read Full Review

Cates brings some interesting ideas to Thor in this new arc, even if the whole "maybe I'm unworthy" bit feels stale. Read Full Review

Another really good issue!

That was ok compared to what came before. The art was quite a downgrade.

Also, sometimes it really shows how Cates is such a irregular writer.

Feels good to be back in Broxton.

Not trolling when I say this is my favorite issue of the run so far. It's fun, it has great dialogue and character moments, and has a better jaw dropping moment than any issue before it. Extremely excited to see where this goes and what is happening with Thor

It's a funny issue made for the progression of the story of course.
Anyway you can call Tony Stark.2129704133 is his personal phone number😂

As Cates did with Venom, the first arc of Thor is an exciting ride with amazing art, while the second arc is a slower and more character-focused. This is a very good first part of this slower arc and I want to see more.

I like that this issue seemed to be a big filler, but it is really important and have some funny moments.

I really enjoyed this it was a great read with some laughs mixed in and the artwork was fantastic

This is a breather after the cosmic events that came before this issue. Cates does a lot of good here: the humor hits well, thor and bill have a great dialogue, and the conflict with mjolnir is a highlight. Nic klein is far better on the art though

Story 4.5/5
Art 4/5

It seems that Donny Cates begins to continue his stories before.

Totally different tone of book than anything else this series. Definitely a set up issue but it had a really good premise and that arts been killer as usual.

A great transition issue done with finesse, style, and overall great execution. There was always this lingering theme Cates has been pushing in Thor, and its that ever since he became All-Father, Mjolnir seems to become heavier to him. This is the issue where Thor finally confronts that realization, and how it ties to this vision he had in the previous issue.

Cates doesn't need any action or bombastic scenes to make a great issue. A more settled, quiet, yet still rather effective start to his new arc. Art this type by Kuder, yet doesn't lose any of that magic and impact that Klein has from previous issues. If this is the next artist of Thor, this was the perfect transition of that styles, and matches Wilson's colors exceptionally well. Another great issue of Thor. more

A quirky issue ending with an interesting development.

Worst issue so far. I got the feeling of deja Vu with one. Hopefully, it gets better.
