Thor #602Just got done reading the latest ish of Thor and the book is one of the most solid comics out there today. Too bad it's not on a very good shipping schedule (I had to read the last issue to remember what's happening) but at least I know JMS is putting top-notch work into his run on the God of Thunder.
Storywise, there's not a lot of new stuff is going on, with the exception of the reintroduction of Lady Sif after more than...what's this like issue 14 in the run? I never remember since Marvel did the whole "let's relaunch this back to the old numbers so we have an anniversary to sell to the kids!" (which is total BS).
Anyway, Sif is back with Thor and things are good, except for the whole Thors kicked outta Asgard for killing Odin's father and he now has his powers attached to Mjolnir so if it's destroyed, he will be too thing. Plus, Asgard is now in Latveria which is quite possibly the dumbest move ever by any God. What kinda good guy wants to live in the home turf of Dr. Doom? Pretty much, things aren't lookin' so good for the norse gods.
There are however, so good things. I really enjoy reading about the hick boyfriend of Kelda. I don't know what it is but it's nice to have a human presence with all the gods and goddesses. At first...didn't really care for him but slowly I'm becoming more attached to the redneck.
The issue's really good for some characterization but lacks in propelling the plot forward very far.
Oh, and JMS writes Loki to be such an P.O.S. It's Awesome!!!
4.5/5
