    Absorbing Man Doesn't Yield Absorbing Story

    After the great issue 120, Journey into Mystery returns to business as usual. this issue features a slugfest between Thor and the Absorbing man that is not so absorbing to the reader as some Lee / Kirby brawls. There is a little development in the Jane Foster subplot - the blond hairdo last issue must have been a coloring mistake, as Jane's back to brunette this issue. We also learn that she is indeed being kept against her will, although not mistreated in any way, by a hooded mystery man. The backup story here continues the Tale of Asgard wherein Thor leads the gods to avert Ragnarok. 
     
    There's nothing great about this issue, but each of the two stories features a full page Kirby masterpiece, aside from their respective splash pages, which makes it maybe a cut above the average 'Marvel Pop Art Production' of its time.
