Thor: God of Thunder #24 by Jason Aaron, Agustín Alessio, Esad Ribić
2.0

You know, I thought that because issue #23 was such an improvement on the ones immediately before it that this story was headed on an upward trajectory, but alas. It's dropped right back down to moronic again. The bits with Thor were good, but the villain here has "Idiot Plot" written all over his forehead. He wins in part because the townsfolk around him have inexplicably lost all memory and good sense - perhaps there's a forcefield of vacuity around him, because several issues ago he was destroying their town and mocking them in their places of business, offering a side of chips for everyone who'd lost their job. And suddenly the dire environmental consequences that he was gleefully causing, that the town knew he was gleefully causing, have destroyed that town and all they can think is "You're clearly the good guy!"

Idiot plot, idiot plot. Roz, you've only just started to get a personality and even I can see you're too good for this.
