Rated T
It's not a very deep story by modern standards, but as an old school Thor flashback, it's a welcome return to what this book used to be. If anything, it proves that classic Thor can still be entertaining. Read Full Review
THOR: WHERE WALK THE FROST GIANTS #1 is not for every reader. It's campy aesthetic and beautiful cartoony art style makes this story a perfect gateway for young readers and a great story for those wanting some Silver Age nostalgia. However, there is little grit for other readers. Read Full Review
Macchio proves he has not lost his touch. This story is an entertaining throwback to a time when our Thunder God was an arrogant jerk (and a man) who fought for what's right. Frankly, we need more stories like this, an occasional break from frequent special events Marvel and DC are famous for. Read Full Review
An Asgardian youth sneaks his way into a desperate fight with frost giants and helps Thor save the day. This is an eminently satisfying all-ages tale for your mini-Marvelite, and the attached reprint of Thor vs. Hulk from Journey into Mystery #112 reinforces the "pick this up on the way back from Thor: Ragnarok" feel. It's executed well in both script and art, but the creators' sights are set so thoroughly on a youthful audience that it's unlikely to leave any memories in a grownup reader's mind beyond a generally favorable retro glow.
