Even Thor Knows The Meaning Of Fear !
well.....i'd like to start with the fact that i never really liked Thor, in fact , i at one time hated Thor, and as the i became neutral towards Thor i picked this up. Now the thing is, i was really skeptical about this, because Jason Aaron did poorly with his Incredible Hulk Run, but boy did this relaunch really blew my mind. This is one of my favorite marvel now titles, and there are many things that are great about this book. First of all, the thing that's stands out the most is Jason introduces a new dark thriller element to the book and actually lingers around Thor's mind, and i really like the time shifts, and it's well executed, really well. One of the greats highlights of the issue is Thor's relationship towards the God Butcher. Thor is one of Marvels big guns, and him feeling fear towards his enemy really demonstrates how big of a threat this guy is, and it also gives us the idea that not even Thor. also there is a mystery in the book , something happened to Thor, and Jason creates this dark deep element around it that is really interesting.
The art is great, Thor muscles structure shows him off as a powerhouse and as a true Asgardian, and the fights scenes are a real delight , i really like the way Thor smashes these dark demons!
however.........Seriously, the faces.....the artist really needs to work on that , at times Thor looks like a real worrier but sometimes he looks like a frog....yeah.....a frog....so seriously , Esad Rebic really needs to practice on that. But other than that, it was amazing.
i'll admit, i did not expect this to be good , in fact i was worried that it was gonna suck, but due to the positive reviews, i went wit it, and so far i am very satisfied.
