VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by KIERON GILLEN Art by DOUG BRAITHWAITE Cover by MICO SUAYAN THOR vs. THOR! Standalone issue! You've heard the word of mouth about Kieron Gillen's critically acclaimed run on THOR...now he teams with the legendary Doug Braithwaite (THOR: GOD-SIZED SPECIAL) to bring you the God of Thunder's fight of the decade! The Siege of Asgard has devastated the Shining City, and the Norse heroes have suffered tremendous losses...but the worst is yet to come! Taking advantage of the chaos, the insane clone of Thor called RAGNAROK comes to Asgard to kill Thor and all his kind! Will Ragnarok be the end of what little was able to survive the Siege?! Date Available: 05/26/2010 BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS  O.K., not sure where this book is going. First, let’s be straight: I have hundreds of Thor comics, and I’ll keep buying this title even if it was written by five year old girls who put him in tea party after tea party. That said, to me, the character has lost long term focus ever since Odin went away; the father-son dynamic, with jealous Loki hovering around, was central to the book’s power, and with that gone it’s hard to see any conflict beyond the next bad guy showing up. Case in point: this issue is the epilogue to the Siege storyline. Basically it’s long on Balder asking Thor to be part of Asgard again, and short on the battle with Ragnarok. Somewhat interesting, yet, well, I don’t know…I love Thor, but the character has lost his inner turmoil. He’s at peace, and that what makes it so bland. I give it 5 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
