    3.0 out of 5 stars I picked this up because I found it in good condition for less than a dollar
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2016

    I'm not a Thor fan, at least not yet. I picked this up because I found it in good condition for less than a dollar, and because I'm trying to find something to read enjoy from Marvel.

    This is the story of Thor's first year as a Super Hero on Earth. Unlike the movies, Thor has an Alter Ego like most Super Heroes. But unlike most Super Heroes, his alter ego is actually a separate person with their own personality, memories, and social life. Donald Blake is a physician with a bad leg, not only is he the vessel for the hero Thor, but he actually acts as Thor's Jimminy Cricket. He brings humanity to the God of Thunder. I found that a bit interesting, and I have to wonder why the movies chose not to use this angle.

    Thor battles Loki, and a couple other villains, and even Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, trying to discover why he is teathered to Donald Blake, and forced to live on Earth, away from his home in Asgard.

    Some plot points kind of don't make a lot of sense to me, I was left with questions that didn't get answered. And although I get the reasoning behind Thor's Shaspearian speak, I have never liked listening to it for prolonged amounts of time. There's a reason it's a dated form of communication. The art style is not very good either. Too many little lines make the characters look like they have sandpaper for skin, and Loki looks like the freaking Joker.

    This comic didn't make a Thor fan out of me. But it made me more interested in the series than the movies ever did. I think I may look into his 60's comics sometime to get a better understanding of the character.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad story
    Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2013

    I bought this novel not knowing what to expect. I was a little disappointed with some of the artwork. I love Loki but he's drawn in almost every frame looking more like the Joker in a Loki suit. This artist also is not as good at drawing women as he is men. His females look a bit scary to me. Luckily the story is mostly males. The story itself is sort of a retelling of the origin story of Donald Blake as Thor so a lot of it will be very familiar to those who know the Marvel history of Thor. All in all I really liked it, so I just took off one star for the artwork problem. There is no credit given for the covers but the cover of issue #2 is famous -Loki on the throne but in a painted form that makes him look sexy and dangerous, where as the rest of the book, he looks like he escaped from Arkham Asylum.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but nothing too spectacular.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2018
    This was an interesting way to flesh out the early stories from the Stan Lee/ Jack Kirby run on Thor, but the artwork isn't to my liking. It gets better later on, but only so much, don't regret buying it. Only recommend to hard-core Thor readers like myself.

    Bien qu'il s'agit des meilleurs dessins de tan eng huat à ce jour, il y a encore du travail pour que le rendu ne soit pas si décousu. Ce chapitre nous raconte d'une version plus moderne "l'arrivée" (pour ne pas dévoiler) de thor sur notre jolie planete bleue. Toujours manipulé par son fourbe de "frére" qu'est loki.
    Le combat final est décousu et la fin décevante , dommage j'avais bien accroché au récit.

    Your mileage may vary, but I really don't like the art in this comic. Everything is cross-hatched, and Jane looked like a great without any help from Loki's spell. The story is alright (not riveting, not terrible), but I would probably have enjoyed it a lot more if I didn't find the art so very off-putting.
