octavia_cade 's review for:
Thor: God of Thunder, Volume 2: Godbomb
by Jason Aaron
I read and reviewed the issues collected in this volume separately, so this is basically just for my own records. All 6 issues earned 3 stars from me, so no surprise what the average is. Overall, it didn't hold my attention as much as the first collected volume, although I still enjoyed it. The stand-out idea for me here was the re-imagining of Thor as the god who doubts - he's almost set up as a skewed sort of mirror for Gorr, sympathising to a limited extent with Gorr's philosophy if not his actions. But this interesting idea got buried under lots of fight sequences and was never quite as explored as it might be. Combined with Gorr's backstory, which is pretty paint-by-numbers in its unoriginality, this volume strikes me as having some excellent moments, but unfortunately misses the opportunity to really focus on theme and character in a way that would have strengthened the whole for me.
