You're absolutely right, the Odinson really got shafted during the Jane run. Anyone who thinks otherwise is performing mental gymnastics to apologize for Jason Aaron. Frankly, I think Jason decided...

How do we know he's smart? Because he says so? LOL. Self-declared genius isn't genius at all. It's arrogance and from what I can see, there's really not much to base it on. We only know he's some...

I really detested Fraction's run on Thor. It made me sour on him as a writer after that -- even though I quite enjoyed his Iron Man run with Larocca

I wrote elsewhere (Bleeding cool) that I...

I wouldn't say that. Walt has his own creator-owned comic which is basically him doing a riff on his own Ragnarok run on Thor. He's basically stuck with what worked for him before. Also, when Walt...

Yeah. That's the same thing I thought -- Odin didn't have a spare Mother Storm in a bottle somewhere to put into Stormbreaker but to my knowledge, those two hammers are basically equivalents.

All...

There are a bunch of things I've wondered about with Mjolnir in this run:

1. Why isn't Thor Odinson dead? When Mjolnir was destroyed during the tail-end of JMS' run, didn't Doctor Strange tell...

I'm not sure about that; the whole Marvel Legacy thing seems to be a fairly recent initiative after the retailers' revolt. I suspect they were planning to launch a pair of Thor titles to coincide...

Sorry for the spoilers; I can tell from your posts that you're a true Thor fan like myself even if we don't necessarily like the same stories. I timed my trip to Asia precisely because I knew it...

It's terrible. You do realize that the War of the Nine/Ten Worlds has basically gone on since 2013, right? It should've ended in 2015 at the latest. Instead, it's been drawn out without end across...

You mean just like how Thor now has short hair like in Ragnarok? It seems to me that this was more a case of Marvel aligning itself with the MCU than an effort by Aaron to show what the Odinson can...

[deleted; double post]

That's your reading of it -- but if other readers are taking the opposite idea, that has more to do with the effectiveness of Aaron's writing than with the readers. That said, it should be pretty...

Yes. I remember that -- but it's something that feels like it's been abandoned by Marvel. It also doesn't fit seamlessly into Aaron's origin for Mjolnir's life-force. I mean, you'd think that...

Thor is supposed to have elemental powers -- heck, even the MCU creators seem to be aware of the fact that Thor isn't the 'God of Thunder' without actual elemental powers -- but you're right, I'd...

I agree with what you've written and really detest the direction they've taken Thor in. Marvel have been really lazy with Thor since JMS left. I had a lot of hope at the beginning of Aaron's Thor run...

Except that wasn't it was it? Rucka and Cho were reporting to entirely different people. When they hired Cho, he was basically told that he could draw what he wanted and that he was only to report to...

Totally agree. Besides, Rucka's being a pill -- in a more conservative regime and culture, they wouldn't even have let him write Batwoman as a lesbian so where does he get off censoring another...

Hela hurt Thor's face in a separate story -- that story was when he went to Hel to rescue the souls of the mortals that Malektih tricked. It ended with Skurge sacrificing his life to enable Thor and...

If I recall correctly from the OHOTMU, Thor doesn't have a healing factor in the Wolverine sense. Like all Asgardians he had very high skin and bone density, making him impervious to conventional...

This is great! Thor (both Unworthy and Mighty) have the best art tandem (Coipel and Dauterman) in comics. It isn't even close.

My only gripe is that Olivier decided to give Thor these Iron...

This could all be related to Kubik restoring Cap's youth. It's an interesting hook even if we all know Cap's going to be a good guy in the end. Looking forward to see it play out.

Their entire run needs to be put in Omnibus format soon... like in a few months.

Man... DC's leadership situation is such a cesspool.

... you can add Rebirth to that. They may not want to label it a 'reboot' but it essentially is with all the changes that are being reported. Also, when your CCO is calling every writer to coordinate...

Exactly. People keep spouting stuff like they've actually read Ghost In The Shell or are even familiar with Manga. There are entire Manga series where the characters are basically caucasian in...
