The epic origin of the God of Thunder comes to a close as Thor discovers the mystery of his past and finds out what is in store for his future! Do not miss this!
As good as Hickman's writing is, I found myself really appreciating Carlos Pacheco's art. While the issue had a very large art team, Pacheco sets the tone and really fits the era of Ultimate Marvel this story falls into. It most reminds me of Bryan Hitch's style in the earliest two Ultimates series. In the end, the story was fascinating and brilliantly illustrated and kept me at the edge of my seat. I literally found myself looking forward to each of the issues and reminded me of how great much of the earliest Ultimate Marvel stories were, but it also makes me sad about how far the line has fallen.

If Hickman is given a chance to follow-up on what he started here, "Ultimate Comics Thor" will not be quite the dead-end prequel it is now. As it stands, this final issue is disappointing in its desire to simply fill in a few gaps around "The Ultimates," coming down from the frantic pace of the first three issues to a highlight reel of Things We Already Knew. The addition of Balder tries to give it all some higher meaning, some unseen subtext, and it doesn't work. It's a mundane note to end this lively series on. Read Full Review
Okay, this story was mostly The Ultimates flashbacks (I mean, this whole SERIES was only flashbacks), but Hickman made Millar's Thor and Loki stories look actually logic... I mean, wow... Millar couldn't determine his Thor through dozens of issues and Jonathan just made everything look like Mark well-planned the story and characters... So he cleaned the mess Millar wrote in the Ultimates... Just wow...
Hickman and Pacheco nail Ultimate Thor’s origin on the head. Great IUltimates prequel
Besides Ultimate Spider-Man and the first two ultimates and even the Ultimate X-Men, this is one of the only good stories to come out of ultimates.
