The Mighty Thor, Vol. 5: The Death of the Mighty Thor
by Jason Aaron
I kept battling back and forth what I should rate this. It's hard because a lot of it I do like but there's one major thing I thought didn't work.
So this is it. The War Thor goes head to head with Mangog right off the bat the final moments are on. Jane is extremely sick through most of this. Dr. Strange warns her one more time she grabs the hammer and she won't survive reverting back. Falcon, Strange, and Odinson, all watch over her so she doesn't pick up the hammer. When Mangog finally gets to asgardia Odinson and Odin team up one last time to face the mighty beast but there's one more who will join the fight to save them. THOR!!!
Good: The fights are, well...fucking EPIC. I mean if you thought the volume couldn't top War Thor verses Mangog you'd be wrong. That fight is insane but Odinson and Odin verses Mangog is just tooooooooo fucking insane. Then of course the Mighty Thor steps up to the plate and goddamn what a showdown. The pacing is breathtaking and reading it in one go is easy because it never lets up.
Bad: The ending. I was really let down. The emotional moment could have hit hard but it didn't all thanks to a cheap "Nope" moment. I really was left kind of annoyed as hell.
This would have been a easy 4.5 if it weren't for the ending. For that I'd probably lower it to a 3.5-4. But for the epic art alone and fights I gotta bump it to a 4 for rating. The fights are WORTH it, trust me.
