@tombrake60: Uncanny Avengers #6 Thor's axe was imbued by energy to cut through celestial armor.

@broo1232: THis has definitely picked up big time from the first few issues. I do hope people are checking it out.

I've actually been meaning to ask about that. I've been reading the book since issue one and I never really found it's quality to be less than above average. I just thought that the first four issues acted as part of a larger, more cohesive narrative, and they just didn't stand on their own very well. Do you think the first few issues would've been more well received if the series wasn't initially plagued by such a godawful delay-ridden shipping schedule?

It would have been better and a more cohesive read with a proper shipping schedule (that was ridiculous)as I had to re-read issues 1 and 2 when 3 came out to remember what had happened. the first story arc was good when read all in one so if the book had kept a monthly shipping schedule a lot of people wouldn't have dropped it because the shipping schedule was atrocious and I didn't like having to re-read all the issues over again.

Agreed. I'm sure the first arc will read much better in trade format for the folks that waited for it. I'm glad it's finally on track now though...

I am too I'm sure it will read better as a whole. (it does I've read the whole thing through)

Rangarok is one of the most over used things when dealing with anything Thor.

Yeah, I remember a few years ago, they played straight with the Ragnarok concept on Thor comics. The main villains were "Those Who Sit Above in Shadow", and it was revealed that the Thor we know is not the first Thor, and "our" Asgard is not the first Asgard. Countless Asgards had been destroyed before in other Ragnaroks. It was an endless cycle created by Those Who Sit Above in Shadow, who drawed energy from the deaths. Then our Thor, who had something different from all the others (the uniqueness of experience among humans) was able to finally put an end on the Ragnaroks. Why I am talking about that? Because it was the best Thor story I have ever read.

I loved that comic it was so epic

I missed most of that story. I was taking a break during that time. I wish they wouldn't use it so much. It seems every time a crisis happens that's Ragarok. Even now after that story where in it he put an and to the cycle of ragnorok we are still hearing it over and over. Too me because they keep overusing it it took away from the power the word had.

issues 3 and 4 were the best. 5 and 6 were a decline and i don't expect it to go back up to that level of quality.

but what are you gonna do, this is what people want, otherwise the issues don't even get reviewed *cough*

sigh.

man, do I love Acuna's art!

yeah, the first arc may have been a bit slow and obligatory (though I did still enjoy it), but issues 5 and 6 were both great. Really getting into this book now.

Issues #5 & 6 were solid issues, I concur! Better reads than a lot of other MN stuff I've read.

I'm confused. I was expecting Rangarok the evil Thor robot duplicate. This looks like some event only mildly related to Thor.
