Slave Of Zarrko, The Tomorrow Man!
Thor ditches the melodrama this month as the stunning climax of part 1's cliffhanger comes to a full on action-packed close. Okay so, I'm making it sound better than it actually is; simply because much like the issue before it, the action on display here is incredibly dull and simplistic. From silly elaborations on the supposed utopian 23rd century, to the usual Journey into Mystery Thor can do anything deus ex machina, this second part which I was actually optimistic about, fails to keep the train rolling. Instead it neglects the characterisation from the previous issue and just delivers a zaney action comic that never really amounts to anything significant. A real bore.
