The Good
Everything. Really, I don't say it very often but, seriously, everything. Unlike Kieron Gillen (and I absolutely loved his Thor stories), who has been writing this title like a hardcore rock CD, Matt Fraction with each issue creates a wonderful fairytale, which strikes and holds your imagination in a constant leap of never ending orgasms. Ferry's pencils are magnificent and his work on the each of double-pages is as beatiful as Doctor Who's Amy Pond. That's an eye-candy that you can't eat enough, you want more and more and more and MORE 'till you die smiling and giggling about how hilarious that ghoul was or how Thor's lightning looked so sexy. And this is maybe the first book where I really looked up what the letterer's name was. John Workman with his weird and almost handwritingly funny little letters hit the general "magic" mood of the series. See, we reached the point where even the most thankless job nails it. The level of quality we're dealing with here is enormous.

Review: Thor #618 0
Though a solution to the unusual problem of the goblin refugees isn't to be found yet, Thor makes a bold move to bring Odin back to Asgard's aid. The Good Compliments to Fraction and Ferry for thinking outside the box. While still staying true to the character's nature, this doesn't look or feel like any Thor I've read before. That scene with the Aesir looking over the horde of neon refugees is demonstrative of that in itself. I especially liked the glowing, Tron-like humanoids who see...
