losing Coccolo and Matt Wilson is a huge loss.
Decent first issue, I just wish Coccolo wasn't pulled off Immortal Thor.
THE LEGEND BEGINS ANEW IN THE ADAMANTIUM-TOUGH NEW ONGOING SERIES! There's a killer in the woods - and as WOLVERINE's attempt at piece is shattered, an OLD ENEMY will re-emerge as a NEW VILLAIN rises who will bring LOGAN to the brink of his berserker rage.

Rick's dad gives him adolescent world-ending news that causes a fight with Brian, leaving him feeling angry, alone, and unheard just as their movie night with friends and girls begins, but party-crashing high school animals BYOB and blow their plans to bits.
Script is solid, but art is not. After Coccolo, it feels like no artist has rose to the colossal task of this series. Ewing and Thor deserve better.
ENTER: HERCULES!
The son of Zeus sought Thor out - for Toranos' wheel had turned for the Olympians too, and two Gods together might solve such a mystery. The trail took them to a wasteland of snow and ice...to terror and treachery...and to an old foe of Hercules, at the height of her dread power. New series artist JAN BAZALDUA draws the story ...

TORANOS WALKS THE EARTH! An Elder God of the Utgard-Realm had marked Thor for destruction - and a city with him. Yet the only power that could prevail carried its own terrible price.

Hey there, out of curiosity would you happen to be the same huz that had a profile on writing.com called huzshrink?
AL EWING, MARTIN COCCOLO & ALEX ROSS GIVE THE GOD OF THUNDER THE "IMMORTAL" TREATMENT! In Norse myths, they called him Thunderer. Vuer has he been called, and Hloriddi. The Gods know him as Asgard's King, keeper of Mjolnir, hero of the tales. When injustice grips the Earth and ancient powers bring down the sky, he fights for those who cannot - and ...
Great art in this issue.
"BANNER OF WAR" PART TWO!
The 60th Anniversary celebration - and Thor and Hulk's epic rivalry - continues in the second installment of the crossover between the HULK and THOR series! Banner's newfound control of his rage is prolonging this fight more than Thor expected, and with Banner holding his own, Thor must get creative. Odin's breakthroug...
Really enjoyed this. Lot of great stories from past Thor writers and Artist, with the highlight of the issue being Straczynski and Coipel's pages. Still enjoying the main story from Cates and Klein as well. Klein did a really nice looking double page spread of Odin's funeral.
The only thing I didn't like in this issue was Jason Aaron's story. When I read the description saying we're more

From the creator of the bestselling comic, Polar, now a NETFLIX HIT MOVIE starring Mads Mikkelsen, comes a new creator owned series. A tale of crime and capes in the style of THE BOYS, WATCHMEN and SIN CITY. The 90s were the most extreme age of the superheroes... but times have changed. Gabin Hart, AKA Damager, now works as a bouncer in a strip clu...
Great finale to the arc and some of the best art I've seen from Nic Klein this run. Only con was Angela still feeling kind of shoehorned in. There's also some pretty blatant MCU synergy inserted at the end, but it worked for the issue.
"GOD OF HAMMERS" PART 5 of 5!
It's the final chapter in Thor's brutal war against the God of Hammers, and after a horrific and tragic loss, Thor is more determined than ever to finish the fight, once and for all. But can he triumph without Mjolnir at his side? Either way, by issue's end, Thor's life will be irrevocably changed!

After that twist ending, I'm back on board with this arc.

Not bad, but not really grabbing my attention the way the Black Winter and Donald Blake arcs did.
"GOD OF HAMMERS" PART 2 of 5
Mjolnir is on a rampage across the realms and is leaving death and destruction in its path! Thor must act fast to save his kingdom for the deadly prophecy of the God of Hammers is about to be unleashed!

After the last 7 months, it's good to see the book getting back on track.

This isn't a bad issue but it's safe to say there are some HUGE plotholes that I can't ignore just because it's Hickman. So Charles and Erik know that Mystique is basically the biggest danger on Krakoa but they're somehow stupid enough not to have any contingencies against a shapeshifter that could impersonate them and get access to stuff she's not allowed to. Yeah, sorry, I can't pretend that makmore
FEEL THE FIRE!
Secrets. Lies. They have a way of coming out and biting you when you least expect them. The secrets and lies of Krakoa will shake it to it foundation. Head of X Jonathan Hickman, continues a tale of consequences with one of his first Marvel collaborators, artist Stefano Caselli!

Really enjoyed the issue overall, but I need the main plot back

Was it enjoyable? Sure. Was it that good? Not really. Its fun and somewhat humorous but, i need more excitement from this series.

It's filler. Not necessarily bad filler, but after 6 months of issues like this, it gets kind of frustrating.
I'm glad Nic Klein is coming back next month, I just wish there wasn't a 7 month gap between main story arcs.

When Marvel announced the original heroes returning for the Fresh Start relaunch, Bruce Banner got the least amount of enthusiasm. A lot of readers even doubted how many good stories there were left to tell about the character. Three years later, Al Ewing and Joe Bennett conclude one of the most acclaimed series in all of comics.
THE GIANT-SIZED FINALE!
• Down in the Below-Place, the Hulk searches among the ghosts of the past for the answers to all his questions.
• The One Below All, the Green Door, Samuel Sterns, Jackie McGee and Bruce Banner. It's all been leading here.
• This is the last issue of THE IMMORTAL HULK.

I don't know if this issue was meant to make us like Freyja, hate Odin or remind us that Angela from Spawn is a Thor character now, either way, not a lot happened.
THE EPIC FINALE OF "REVELATIONS"!
Thor, ruler of Asgard, can now focus on just that - ruling! But with power comes truth, and Thor will learn that being king isn't so simple. When havoc on Midgard begins, Mjolnir seems to have vanished under the Avengers' watch. And Thor must learn more than one truth this day. The shocking conclusion of "Reve...
I love Iron Man, and I was a fan before the movies. I have been a fan for a long time, so when I say this, I say it with love. Tony Stark is an egotistical douche. And I'm sick of people acting like he's not. That's part of the charm of the character. Seeing him called on it by a *woman*, or if a few of you prefer, a *femoid*, doesn't faze me. The art does a good job looking and feeling like CAFU.more
After bringing down an Ultimo robot nearly singlehandedly, Iron Man continues to investigate the strange and small colony on the remote planet where he's been marooned. Life here seems perfect...but is it? And who's possibly pulling the strings behind its delicate design? As Tony digs deeper for answers, an astral projection of Hellcat warns him th...
The Busiek/Chen run probably has the most selfless interpretation of the character, but we can't cherry pick which versions of a character we like, and then vehemently disregard any other interpretation, especially when it's not a hard left turn for the character by any means. I was frustrated that that's what so many people were doing in the reviews for this issue.
Although, let's be honest, that response probably had little to do with Tony Stark's characterization, and a whole lot more to do with Patsy Walker, a female character, being too strong willed and acting as the voice of reason for our main character. I could be nice and say it's because, as Tony is the protagonist, any derision directed at him and his goals makes us dislike the source of that derision. Or I could say it's because people don't like strong women in fiction, due to their... biases.
Solid issue with great art by Michele Bandini. I especially liked the Berserk vibe from the last page.
In an earlier Beta Ray Bill issue, we learn Odin's been spending his time brewing beer, now we see what Freyja's been up to.
The readers complaining about the smaller arcs feeling like filler will probably just see this issue as a teaser for next months issue though, and the readers wh more
"REVELATIONS" PART 2 OF 3!
Thor has only known two things, being a warrior and weilding a hammer. But he is realizing that in order to be the best ruler of Asgard that he can be, he must give up those two things.

Me too. Thor really lost something when they lost him but at the same time his are on Wolverine for the past two issues has been fantastic.
