 Thor For Asgard #1 $3.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by ROBERT RODI Pencils & Covers by SIMONE BIANCHI Beginning an epic adventure showcasing the God of Thunder as you've never seen him before! The vassals of Asgard are in armed revolt...Odin is missing...Balder is dead...and the entire continent is battered by a years-long winter. How can Thor put the empire back together - especially with his mighty hammer Mjolnir mysteriously denied him? 32 PGS. Date Available: 09/01/2010 BONUS REVIEW by MATT STREETS  Verily, I must say I was apprehensive about this new Thor mini-series, but was pleasantly surprised in the end. The basic initial story has the Asgardians battling frost giants, but their ensuing victory rings hollow as they survey the civilian deaths caused by the melee. Later, the gods quarrel amongst themselves, debating the merits of far-flung wars against rebel nations while Asgard is slowly withering away at home. It’s hard not to draw parallels to our current entanglements overseas, and I found it refreshing to a see a comic tackle some more complex and challenging issues than a costume change. Also, some editor finally wised up and turned up the dimmer switch on Simone Bianchi’s typically murky pencils, and with a brighter color scheme I would say this is the best art of his career. For once, we have a Marvel book that feels worth the $3.99. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
