The Immortal Thor (2023-) #1 by Al Ewing, Jonathan Hickman
4.0

Immortal Hulk was one of the most highly praised runs in the last few years in comics in general. While I enjoyed it a lot, I wouldn't say it's my favorite. But I was eager to see what Ewing could bring to the table for Thor under the same label.

Thor is a lot happier in this first issue. Sharing grand stories with his lads, while traveling earth and enjoying his time with us mere mortals. A funny opening with the Ice Giants as well gives us a more cheerful Thor that I think is refreshing.

The last few pages we are introduced to a new foe, one similar to Thor, and maybe he met his match? I don't know how I feel about the new foe yet but a solid fun, happy, and a bit silly first issue is just what the doctor ordered IMO.

A 4 out of 5.
