BlackGeekdom Science-Fiction from a Different Perspective

We know that Thor is rebuilding Asgard in the Thor series right now, but Marvel has come out with this double sided issue of Thor: Ages of Thunder.  This builds on the new, post-Ragnarok Thor, whose has a harder rougher edge to go along with more introspection by giving you a mature in depth look at where his character comes from.  I know it’s been out a week, but it’s better late than never.  The story is broken up into too parts, the first part deals with the Frost Giants and the second part deals with Loki, but that part of the story is set up by the first, so make sure to read both.  Just be wary that its gruesome.  The artwork is fantastic.

Its not really fair for me to pick this book because I am such a Mythology geek, especially for Norse Mythology.  So, the historical context of the war with the Frost Giants makes this issue really good for me.  Also, I like it because it reminds me why I consider Thor one of the preeminent Marvel characters, as well as being one of my favorite.  I had thought that Marvel had sort of abandoned him, but I’m glad that they took Ragnarok and Civil War as an opportunity to reboot the character and to build him and the other Asgards from ground up.  I liken it to what Marvel did with Annihilation to bring relevance and interest to the cosmic universe of Marvel.  The only question is, what’s going to be his role in Secret Invasion?
