This was (mostly) great.

The first arc is the strongest. Introducing us to Beta Ray Bill and his epic fight with Thor, all great stuff and has the essence of Thor down to a tee. I really dug this arc a lot. We then move on to Thor trying to figure out what to do with his life and deals with Fafnir, a gigantic dragon like creature who looks like Godzilla in a lot of ways. On the side we have Loki plotting, as he always does, and a lot of political sides to it with Odin and Loki and so on.

The art is gorgeous. Now it is recolored but I really liked the look and style. Also the fights are epic and huge, which Thor should be. I loved Thor in here, a kind, but also determined warriors. Beta Ray was great. Sif was perfect. Odin still a dick. All good stuff. The fight with Fafnir went on a bit long but still was fun. And the Loki stuff is interesting but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bored with that plotline.

But overall a very fun first volume. Excited to read volume 2 down the line.
