Thor By J. Michael Straczynski Vol. 2
by J. Michael Straczynski
Thor is getting schemed by his brother Loki once more. Surprise surprise!
This volume goes into a Donald meeting back up with Jane after years of not seeing each other. This is a more human moment but JMS really does a great job of letting us feel for these characters. The next part is the slow plotting of Loki to overthrow her/his brother. We learn of a new brother for Thor to have that might challenge his title. We also deal with the fallout of Captain America's death. Last but not least is the return of a very old god, but this challenge might be too big for Thor himself.
Good: The fight scenes in this are so over the top and amazing, really freaking great. The human moments are so damn good, it brings these gods down to earth which I love. The end result of the build up is both intriguing and damn awesome too and I wish every Thor series was as epic as this one.
Bad: The middle can drag some. One thing I have a problem with 85% of Thor books is the Loki Scheming and mindless talking and conversations can annoying. No different here.
Overall a 4 out of 5. A nice step up from the last and I'm really enjoying JMS Thor a lot.
