Ramon Rosanas delivers some fantastic art, especially in the character moments. There are some great panels that perfectly capture the emotion of the moments from Jane's determination to Loki's curiosity. Read Full Review

Valkyrie #9 was an enthralling issue, one that leaves us concerned for what is to come. In that sense, it is perfect for Jane Foster's story. After all, her series has consistently pushed the boundaries of creative storytelling. It'll be fascinating to see how far this particular plot goes, especially considering the other characters affected by what is occurring. Read Full Review

Overall, this is a (very) slight dip from the magic that was last month's issue, but this series is coming into its own nicely. If you're in any way invested in the Thor universe, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Read Full Review

Jane Foster's at a pivotal point in her Valkyrie career in this ninth issue, and it doesn't fail to impress and make the most of what it's been building up to. Read Full Review

Valkyrie: Jane Foster #9 (Aaron, Grnbekk, Rosanas, & Aburtov) moves the plot forward and paves the way for some interesting potential, but seems to lack some of the magic of past issues. Read Full Review

Given the amount of plot being pushed through this issue, its quite remarkable that everyone involved has managed to make it feel smooth and graceful. It scarcely feels rushed or convoluted at all, which is quite impressive given everything thats taking place. Once again, Jane Foster proves herself to be a very interesting mutation of the "Dr. Donald Blake/Thor" character that Jack Kirby and Larry Lieber had forged back in the 1960s.  Read Full Review

Jane Foster must face off against someone she had hoped to never have to fight; All Father Thor. Possessed by dark energy, she has to free him and stop the life sucking energy from destroying everything. But can she or is the Mastermind behind this evil just using her for something bigger?

Warming up again. Rolkva situation is critical!!!!

The Rokkva story really starts to come together with the addition of a proper villain (Tyr) who has some clever twists to throw at Valkyrie. Unfortunately, while the plot is ramping up, the storytelling takes a tiny step down. The prose doesn't reach the lofty heights it's aiming for, and Ramon Rosanas's art, though strong, isn't as uniquely impressive as CAFU's.

Not quite as good as last issue, but the art continues to be stunning and Aaron injects each page with a beautiful sense of mythology and wonder. Wonderful narrating as well.

Prelude:
Aaron and Gronbekk still did a great job with last issue so let's see how things continue with The End of All Things.

The Good:
I liked the mythological aspect of this issue.

Surprised and liked seeing Loki.

Rosanas' art was good.

The Bad:
Not sold on Tyr.

I don't like Thor being taken down a notch for another title's main character.

Conclusion:
It's a good issue but it's not up to the standard the series has been holding.

Ah yes, the spooky unstoppable death cloud is a great call Tyr, excellent plan.

A really good read. Valkyrie has some really good story ideas that seem to be familiar but different. I really like this series and this issue is a good reason why.

" This not pain. This something else life drains away empty darkness takes it's place i know this feeling i've felt it before and i know how to fight the darkest of infections. As a doctor. A patient. A Thor. As the last of the odin-damned valkyrie ! "

Things are picking up as more Norse mythology takes over.
