    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"

    You could at least give some reasons instead of just a statement.

    Thor God of Thunder is pretty good, better then Savage Wolverine.

    Indestructible Hulk is pretty good as well.

    It`s an amazing title right up there with Indestructible Hulk.

    Should move this to the Thor forum.

    Best Comic series I've ever read.

    For me being a Christian it resonates extremely well for me as a similar theme applies so yeah it was a near tear jerker for me.

    Awesome, awesome comic. It had everything a Thor fan could ever want, it was everything a hero, no A God is supposed to be.

    i really liked the religious theme in the book's first super arc. It's refreshing and awesome... definitely a top 5, but not my favourite SUPERHERO comic.

    You lost me at "Snyder's Batman is incredible". After that, your opinion went to mud.

    Green Arrow is better, Daredevil is better, Thor is in the top 5 though.

    And yes, Batman is shit. Especially Zero Year, it's terrible. How can you give an origin to the Joker?

    I have to agree (it's not the best time to be a Wolverine fan).

    @sog7dc: things i like about tgot 1. the art it is fantastic and for the fantasy realms thor goes to u need good art. 2. the villain is great new and written well. you get his motivation and you somewhat feel sorry for him but he is still threatening. hoenestly he could b in thor 3 and id be ok with that. 3. the writing is very good they do understand thor theyve captured his arrogance but also his heart. now things i dont like 1. the time travel while its not bad for a time travel story its not original and like 8 other big titles are doing time travel so i dont feel like reading 8 time travel stories. 2. the pacing is really slow they shouldnt say an arc is 5 issues if it doesnt end until issue 12. im ok with 12 issue arcs but not for a once a month single series. 3. not much attention is paid to thor the other thors and gorr over shadow him and it doesnt feel its a thor book just a book featuring thor. my conclusion its a great thor book which there hasnt been enough of. it has a great new villain i hope stays. the creative tean is well rounded and fantastic. i give it a 8 out of 10 bc some of the issues have been dull and its not steady with quality itll go from a fantastic issue i tell everyone about to meh. my personal opinion on the best books right now are hawkeye daredevil and xo man o war. id give reasons but its not my thread so i dont want to overshadow this one

    @bigtewell: I disagree about the pacing. I loved that it was 11 issues because they were able to take their time and tell a great story.

    Thor God of Thunder is epic. Certainly my favourite Marvel title, although for me, Scarlet Spider and Indestructible Hulk are up there too. However I'm not sure I prefer it to Flash or Batman/Superman on the DC side of things.

    It is up there, might even be the best title currently. I dunno why people rank Indestructible Hulk that high i mean it's great for a Banner comic not a Hulk one, it's declining in it's popularity and sales and the reason to it is quite obvious... I hope Waid does something to change this...
