    While elements of this might not be incredibly accessible for casual readers, it still proves to be an enjoyable and rather retro read. Read Full Review

    The last story, Rule of Reflection, reunites writer Kathryn Immonen with Lady Sif, the character she wrote in an acclaimed run of Journey into Mystery earlier this decade. This one is set during the Jane Foster era of Thor and sees them teaming up, which is a fun dynamic we didnt get nearly enough of while Jane was in Thor mode. Rule of Reflection might be my favorite of the three, if only because Im a bigger fan of Sif and Jane than I am of Bill or Thunderstrike. Immonen proves here why she may be one of the more underrated comic writers of her generation, while Tom Reillys art is appealing cartoony with colors by Chris OHalloran that match the playful vibe of Immonens script.

    So, this Thor the Worthy One Shot, wasn't exactly what I was hoping far but it still had some good elements regardless; and eerily felt like there were some characters it was trying to remind us of certain characters. Read Full Review
