I think another thing that makes Thor great is his supporting Asgardian cast and villains. Plus when you see scenes set on Asgard, I love that the font with the speech bubbles are different from the other Marvel Heroes.
Been bittersweet reading the War of Realms. On the one hand I'm loving it and think it has the potential to end up as one of my absolute favorite events. On the other it's sad knowing that I'm nearing the end of Aaron on Odinson. I know there will be a bit of a coda after the event but this is the crescendo.
Although how bummed out I will be at the end depends on who follows up as writer... If it's Eve Ewing or Tini Howard or Sina Grace or I'll quickly go from bummed to excited, if it's a Mark Waid or Cullen Bunn that disappointment will probably last a lot longer.

The idea that Mark Waid was not a fan of Aaron's Doctor Strange run is rather fanciful. His book is directly based upon it and has embraced the core ideas as building blocks for his work.
Well this isn't a Dr Strange thread but I am not sure I agree with that. I think he has taken pains to run with the character, all be it split across two characters for a while, that Aaron left him. I am sure if you asked him he wouldn't feel like he is "fixing" anything.
Waid certainly has fans, and I've liked a lot of what he's done, but I'm more interested in newer voices at the moment. I think he's fine, certainly experienced and technically competent, but I'm not excited to read more from him. Maybe if I were newer to comics or hadn't read so much of his stuff already I'd be more keen on the idea.
But sign me up for Samnee on...well, anything, really. But a nice run on an Asgardian book would be awesome.
Probably not, but I won't argue with the results whether he intended it or not .
Newer voices are fine but I'm at a point where I'd rather have a writer I can better trust or have faith in as far as Thor and his mythos is concerned.
I guess I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't worried a newer writer would be more prone to just continuing with Aaron's interpretations instead of doing something different.
