Product Description: Not a clone! Not a robot! Not an imaginary story! The God of Thunder is officially BACK! You've waited for it, you've demanded it...and we say thee YEA! The Odinson comes roaring to life in this highly anticipated ongoing series by red-hot superstars J. Michael Straczynski (Amazing Spider-Man) and Olivier Coipel (House of M)! But how does a god return from Ragnarok? And what place will he find in a world torn by Civil War?
Finally, Thor Hath Returned! The best thing about the new Thor isn't his costume redesign--it's writer J. Michael Straczynski's choice to ditch the faux-Shakespearean language that Thor used to speak. For Thor purests, I'm sure it's a travesty. But I've never been a fan of the Thunder God, and can't wait to see what other changes are in store (one of the biggest changes has to do with Loki...wait until you see what's become of him!). The smackdown with Iron Man lives up to the hype, although the ending is predictable and shows Tony Stark for the weasel he's become. The book is also humorous, more so than Straczynski's Spider-Man at least. This is a solid piece of comics writing.
Excellent Thor's return This book is really good, J.M's story is very interesting and Oliver Coipel's art is awesome as usual. This book presents the resurrection of the Thunder God, and how he is building his Kingdom (Asgard) on earth, this book it is a must have.
Thor is BACK! KRAKKABOOM I have loved JMS' writing ever since his Spidey run. And now he brings his wordcraft to THor. I can't imagine a better suited writer. I loved this book right from the start. The story is excellent and the art is phenomenal. The only part I felt missing was more interaction with the rest of the Marvel Universe. Somehow I felt that Thor was ignoring the human race but I guess he has to get his house straight before he can go out to fix the world (according to JMS). Hopefully the next few issues will bring characters like the Hulk, Fantastic four, Captain America etc. into his life. Great book, great restart!
THOR'S HAMMER STRIKES TRUE This is a wonderfully written and drawn story. Michael Straczynski has taken the character of Thor and breathed new life into him. He has set Thor on new ground and in a fresh environment that promises new and exciting possibilities, and believe me Straczynski fulfills the promise. The art of Olivier Coipel is more than equal to the splendid storytelling embodied here. Coipel's work is powerful, bold, and beautiful to behold. Buy this book and you will not be disappointed!!!
Thor Vol 1 Great return of Thor. I thought it was one of the dumbest things Marvel had ever done by killing off the God of thunder. The story is actually very well written and the artwork is excellent. Can't wait for the next issue.
