I flipped through the comic. The art is great, the whole thing is epic, but I'm not cool with the "Thor is a dick" thing. Also agree about the needless power-up.
Can't we have a writer that likes classic Thor?
Agree. Classic Thor managed to drag the planet sized Midgard serpent away from Earth without any particular amp. And he defeated the Juggernaut in a fist fight after removing his energy shield. Frequentely gave trouble to Hulk, destroyed a meteor as big as Chicago, and can create huge storms and earthquakes even without Mjolnir.
I'm really tired of power inconsistencies and people telling me that Thor can't do crap without the hammer.
Ever since JMS left the series there have been quite a few ''does Marvel hate Thor?'' theories on the web. So the Jobber Thor thing didn't start with Aaron.

I think an easy way to look at Thanos stories is that anything written by Jim Starlin, Ron Marz and Keith Giffen is the real Thanos while anything written by other authors should be dismissed as a Thanosi clone.

A little bit late but I’ve gotten around to reading #1 and I loved it. The art was pretty phenomenal.
Donny Cates appears on Stegman’s podcast pretty regularly and they recently talked about Thor #1. There was some cool stuff but a lot has been mentioned already. There was a couple of things I haven’t seen mentioned yet though.
Whilst Cates confirmed Thor has the Odinforce he also added that he’s "not in the business of writing the back of trading cards" and that he’ll basically be as powerful as the story calls for him to be.
He also talked a little bit about Sif. Sounds like she’ll have a bigger role than she’s had in recent years. He basically said she was Asgard’s Wolverine and would act as Thor’s "knife in the dark". Also that she’d be his conscience and wouldn’t be afraid to call him out on his BS where others might be.
At least Cates' honest .
Isn't Hogun Asgard's Wolverine? Or at least as close as they can get.He also talked a little bit about Sif. Sounds like she’ll have a bigger role than she’s had in recent years.

I like Sif having a bigger role and being Thor's conscience. I think we could've used more of that in the Unworthy storyline.
Yeah, there is this notion that seems to have arisen among Thor writer's that Thor isnt physically effective without his hammer. Ragnarok was the pinnacle for me as a Thor fan in the last oohhh...20 years. If writers are going to draw from a movie, that would be the one.
