Reviews


Walt Simonson is a master comic storyteller. There's section I'd like to direct you to in issue #4, pages 11-13. In three pages, he gives us 4 new characters, a new environment, and gives us an emotional attachment to all of them by way of stature, dialogue, and figure placement. The highlight is a 4 panel sequence on page 12 that travel from rage to consideration to shame to redemption. If this was the only sequence of note in the book, it would still be worth your 3.99. Simonson gives us so much more, including wry commentary on the state of America today with a village unwilling to do for or defend themselves, and why politicians dumb their speech down to as few syllables as possible. WOW. (This is a book about Thor, right?) There's also plenty about why the Gods are gone, what the consequences could be if one were still alive, and some norsely mythological wonderment involving apples.
