Summary: The best Thor story in years
Review: With Brian Michael Bendis disassembling the Avengers, his Powers partner, artist Michael Avon Oeming, was given the duty of writing the final (for now anyway) storyarc for the Mighty Thor. Collecting the Ragnarok storyarc, this TPB finds Thor's home of Asgard in ruins, his sibling Gods dead and dying, and even his hammer Mjolnir has been shattered. The thunder god is pushed to his limits to save his world, even if that means he must be the architect of it's destruction to do so. Thor hasn't been this good a read in years, no lie. Not since Walter Simonsin's legendary run have I felt so compelled reading a Thor book, if (when) the book gets relaunched, I pray that Michael Avon Oeming is at the helm scripting it. The art by Andrea Divito is plain old beautiful, giving Thor a "don't mess with me" look like he's never had. It's sad, compelling, and surprisingly full of emotion. This is the best Thor has been since Simonsin, and this is an absolute must have for any and every Thor fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Thor saga.... EVER!
Review: Wow, this book has it all, Pretty close to every character that's appeared in Thor's 40 plus years of service to the comic book community, the biggest battle Thor has ever faced (and if you've read much Thor you know thats saying ALOT) and of course Ragnarok, the untimely end of an immortal race.

Di vito's art is some of the finest I've seen in years, and Oeming should stick to writing, instead of penciling (and that is in no way a dig on his art, but an incredible compliment to his writting ability)

if you are a Thor fan this is a must read, if you are an Avenger's fan this is a must read (and I think you'll be a Thor fan afterward) and if you're just a comic fan in general it's... you guessed it, a must read (and again I believe you will be a Thor fan afterward)

Having collected the most current 300 or so isssues of Thor I can say withot a doubt this is the finest Thor story arc I've ever read.

If you've ever wanted to indtroduce anyone who's a mythology fan to comics, or Thor in particular this is the one and only way to go.
