I want to make sure I am talking about the right story, this is the book that had the Fellowship of the Rings type story where Thor ended up being the traitor because he had the monster inside of him? And the Galactus story where Thor is trying to protect a dead Earth and acted like Odin?
Sure Aaron pushed the character in new directions, but at what cost? Thor Odinson stopped resembling the guy that he was originally created as.....that's my issue. The new Jane Fosthor acts more like the guy that Lee & Kirby created than Jason Aaron's version. That's all I am saying. I like the Jane Fosthor okay....but I don't think I like this as a permenant change..... and it looks like it will be at least for the near future.
I am glad you liked those books.....but, to me at least, they are odd versions of a character that has been completely mishandled by a writer that thought Thor should be more like Lobo and less like the character that Stan and Jack started.
When Mark Waid was writing the Hulk, recently, he and Walt Simonson teamed up and did a Thor crossover story. That story was the Thor I recognized. Johnathan Hickman has had a few great Thor moments too. All Aaron's Thor seems to be able to do is drink burp and and act antagonistic.
I'm just venting....I don't mean nothing by it. If people like this Thor, cool. I just don't like it that much.
