Just sayin.
my reasos for having this opinion is as follows:
first of all the creative team on this book really seems to have an understanding of who thor is moreso than any other creative team writing any other hero have of their respective characters (at least in my estimation). and this is coming from someone who likes dc more than marvel and likes superman a lot more than I do thor. scott lobdell has great ideas for superman but he has suffered from poor execution, Snyder's batman has been incredible but he is lacking key things about bruce (bruce wayne is batman....spoiler alert) namely his detective skills and his martial arts abilities and his gadgets. dan slot knows how to tell a great story and he certainly understands doc ock...but I hate the story he's telling (even though it is well told) and I don't want to read doc ock in my spiderman book. in fact the only reason m still reading superior is because its the first marvel title I ever picked up. justice league is plagued by Geoff johns trying to do too much and never really sticking with anything it just feels like a rushed book to me. deadpool was so nonsensical it was the first comic I ever dropped. I could go on for days about the critiques I have for other comics but when I get to Thor: god of thunder, I don't have a single complaint. the story is well paced, questions are answered, characters are developed, dialogue is fantastic, the villain is inventive and truly threatening (I cant remember the last time I read a comic and genuinely felt that the hero may actually lose) and atop all of that it is a visual delight. Jason Aaron understands who thor is and how he sounds and how he behaves at different times of his life whil Esad Ribic understands exactly how thor should be portrayed. this comic is just what I said in the title and in true Adam Sessler fashion:
"Thor: god of thunder gets a 5........out of 5"
