    The Blaze Within

    The Good

    Following the revelations of The Mighty Thor #19, the war rages as Volstagg takes command of Asgardia and brings the fight to the Manchester Gods. Meanwhile Loki implements his own strategies, in only the way Loki could. The God of mischief certainly lives up to his reputation in this installment, as events take darker twists. The consequences of the numerous deals and double crosses are starting to mount and could fall in favor of either side at this point. Once again the story is superbly executed, Muspelheim is hideously rich and top notch as the rest of the art.

    The Bad

    Once again the war takes a back seat and is showcased in the same fashion as before, however this is a minor gripe that doesn’t impact on the book.

    The Verdict

    A fantastic continuation from the last issue, the stakes are getting higher and higher for the nine realms as the twists continue. In my opinion this is one of the best crossovers Marvel have done for some time, can’t wait for the next issue. I would implore Thor fans that have thus far missed out on Everything Burns to jump on board.

    4 out of 5.

Yet again I am not happy with the art. Di Giandomenico isn't a bad artist I just feel his art looks too squarish. I like how there is a lot of detail in the rest of the scenes (like backgrounds) but I'm just personaly not a fan of how he draws people.ALL SPOILERS ARE BLACKED OUT JUST HIGHLIGHT TO READAnyway the story.

      Woah--with major spoilers 0

      I think the overall plot of this crossover is a little confusing.  But let's ignore that.  This will be less of a review than an editorial. This story had a completely surprising twist.  I'm just going to describe it in detail in the spoiler block.  SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.It turns out (unless he's lying) that Kid Loki is actually Evil Loki!  He's been playing everyone all along.  Unless (again) he's lying when he says THAT.  This revelation (or new trick) took me c...
