THOR VOL. 1: GOD OF THUNDER REBORN

I have followed Aaron's run since Godbomb and this was looking to be a nice action packed return for the Odinson.It is and it's not.Aaron had such amazing idea's in his early Thor run and there's even hints of it here, but the main complaint I have is the pacing. What he fits into Three issues could have been a whole six issue arc. I wanted so badly for it to breathe because SO MUCH happens. It's as if he had bullet points to hit but no time to really explore them. The last two? maybe three issues? deal with Old King Thor which is usually a highlight but somehow he manages to write the actions that happen instead of giving his artist breathing room to create something absolutely cosmic. In the end it's about as good as The Mighty Thor so...eh.

I can't say I was a fan of the art here, which you can see for yourself in the preview. Ironically, I found it more effective when stationary than in action, when it was too frenetic and abstract for my taste.The story was... well, it was intriguing and fully engaged with the idea of gods and mythos. For me, well, it was a bit too godly... to cut off from everyday concerns. The story ranged from control of Hel and the lands of the dead to the end of time itself. I recognize and admire the creativity there, but honestly, it all seemed a little... bloodless and abstract to me.I can imagine some people really enjoying this run; but I am not likely to continue it.

The artwork is so bad, frenetic and confusing that I found myself skipping over the story through most of the book. I kinda liked the idea behind Wolvie connecting with the Phoenix Force idea, but the artwork throughout the entire book just ruined it all for me.

Jason Aaron's multiple realms and time lines does pick-up some of the madness of the Walter Simonson era of Thor. While some of cosmic heroes and villains are a bit much in terms of Marvel fan service, this is still a lot of fun. The art is enjoyable as well.

The headline is really all there is to say. The back-up feature of Grandpa Thor made more sense, but was equally strange by virtue of it's existence.

The War of Realms has come to Niffleheim and the Odinsons reunite to fight the fire goblins of Muspelheim. Jason Aaron's writing is solid as normal, and Del Mundo's art grew on me. Christian Ward drew the backup feature which is quite good, featuring All-Father Thor and Old Man Phoenix. This story is good, but it requires the backstory of the entirety of the Aaron run of Thor. Collects Issues: 1-6.

A bit confusing for people like me who hasn't read 2012s Thor until now,but still solid and the art is amazing

Love Jason Aaron and his take on Thor, hope it never ends.

I’ve got no issues with the story here (although, my heart does sink slightly when Loki appears back on the scene *again*)...However, there’s a strange thing that can happen when a comic’s art style drops below a certain threshold when reading a comic, I suddenly find my enthusiasm and suspension of disbelief grind to a halt as I look down at the pages and realise that - given a quality pack of crayons - I could probably draw and colour my own artwork to the same standard as this particular book...It’s hard to imagine why the art director of this new Thor run (a) chose this art style, and (b) looked at the images and actually said “oh yes! that’s excellent work!! print it at once!!”The previous Thor “God of Thunder” series was incredibly delicately sketched and inked, with all the art looking magnificent - so it’s a real struggle to push-on through this volume with the same kind of excitement...

Terrible graphics and a poor story make this a very poor entry into my favourite Marvel character - unfortunately avoid it

What a great story and this old mans heart felt young again reading such an original story . Imaginative and wonderful .

Nach zuletzt schwachen Verkäufen hat Marvel in jüngster Vergangenheit den Versuch unternommen, zu alten, erfolgreicheren Comic-Zeiten zurückzukehren, allerdings ohne eine wirklichen Reboot hinzulegen. So gibt es also wieder ein Avengers-Team mit dem Personal der glorreichen Comic-Zeit - jedoch nur als Phantasie von Ms Marvel/Kamala - und Thor Odinson wird zwar wieder Titel-Held der Thor-Reihe, aber Mjölnir darf er immer noch nicht schwingen.In den ersten Heften bietet Jason Aaron ein paar unnötige Zeitsprünge, die dem weniger versierten Marvel-Leser keine Aufklärung der Vergangenheit bieten, sondern in zwei quasi parallelen Stories nur verwirren. Die wichtigere Arc, mit der der Band auch beginnt, handelt vom Krieg gegen Malekiths Lakaien in Hel, in der zweiten Story-Line, die größtenteils unverbunden in den Heften dazwischen auftaucht, gibt es einen Kampf in einer dystopische Endzeit des Universums.Da auch innerhalb der Geschichten dann keine gradliniege Erzählung erfolgt, viel Personal auftaucht (unter anderem mit einem völlig lächerlich-deplatziertem Auftritt von Thanos, der nur ein paar Panels dauert) und der Status Quo kaum erklärt wird, ist es wirklich schwer auszumachen, worauf das ganze egtl. hinausläuft. Viel Blabla und kleinere Scharmützel, nur am Anfang ein bisschen Witz und kaum Spannung bringen ein eher anstrengendes als unterhaltsames Leseerlebnis.Hinzu kommt, dass die Hefte mit den Illustrationen von Mike del Mundo nicht einmal optisch überzeugen können und die Panels oft viel zu hektisch und lieblos wirken.Jason Aaron war einmal ein begnadeter Autor, sein Wolverine oder der erste Thor-Run bei Marvel sind neben seinen Arbeiten für Image, wirklich grandiose Comic-Reihen, aber in letzter Zeit übernimmt er sich mit seinen Erzählungen immer mehr und man merkt, dass ihm die Ideen für gute, einfache Geschichten ausgehen, weshalb er sich in Action, Verwirrspiel und Gigantismus verliert. Das ist wirklich Schade.Dieser Thor ist nur was für Hardcore-Fans, ansonsten würde ich (bzw. werde ich in Zukunft) eher einen Bogen um die Reihe machen!

Confesso que esperava mais desta fase do Aaron no Thor, a primeira fase do autor com o deus do Trovão ainda é o seu melhor trabalho.Até tem bons momentos como a utilização de múltiplos martelos e machados já que o Thor está sem o Mjolnir, mas fora isso a história é pouca inspirada.
