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.

It’s a brand. You keep buying in case it starts getting good again. Originally Posted by HaveAtThee

Man, what a freaking great issue, loved every single page, and the callback to JMS' run was awesome.

Really cool issue!
Seeing Thor no sell a Mjolnir blow from IM on his face was great. Not to mention the nice nod to JMS Thor Thor vs IM fight, stating the huge difference between the power from a (thunder) god and a tin man.

Cates delivers. I'm still wary, this could be another fakeout like God of Thunder. Where after the first "establishing" arc, the writer starts to poo poo all over the main character and introduce "their vision" to the comic to leave their mark. But so far, I'm gonna enjoy what is put on the pages.
Also it makes me giggle thinking that Mjolnir is like a Router. And once the Enchantment is turned of and then turned on, it works again and there's no "storm" in the hammer, the worthiness enchantment works just as intended etc etc. I saw T'challa reference that in the latest avenger and it just Oozed of Aaron trying to keep his piece of canon relevant. As him saying "Remember, I wrote this. This is how it works now. LISTEN TO ME DAMMIT!" Where so far, Cates has not used the Mother Storm or anything (and if he does it, I'm pretty sure that he can make it work).

I would've loved a moment like this with Jane's Thor Originally Posted by Immortal Hulk

Loved the latest issue of Thor. Cates has restored Thor to bad assery! Noteworthy for me...how he treated Tony. Nice touch.

Very good issue. I'm enjoying this more...nuanced version of Thor.
I suspect Thor will make a new hammer for himself or something. Let's be honest, Mjolnir is clearly broken thanks to Aaron's mistreatment.

We shouldn't hate on Mjolnir just because of Aaron's crap. It's been the iconic hammer for a thousand years, and, like it or not, is synonymous with Thor. It's a major factor in his favour, and any other replacement would just come across as a cheap knock-off. Originally Posted by Username taken

''Just having my hammer doesn't give you my power. Hammer or not i am still a god''. Pretty awesome. Originally Posted by Frontier

I am still wary of Cates writing Thanos again though.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.

sounds like a big F-u to all the mjolnir shenanigans we had to endure in the past years, If Cates intends to hold the line I'm definitely on board Originally Posted by CaptainMar-Vell92 of the Kree

true true. But Aaron turning Mjolnir into a ''fickle piece of s***'' still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Originally Posted by Panic

Yeah...I hate that I feel so tired of Mjonlir nowadays. Especially now that Thor just got it back. Originally Posted by Panic
