I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Thor: The Goddess of Thunder by Jason Aaron (Writer), Russell Dauterman (Artist), Jorge Molina (Artist and Colorist), Matthew (Colorist), and VC's Joe Sabino (Letterer)


Things have shaken up on what is now known as Asgardia.  Odin who willing left Asgardia to Freyja to rule as the All-Mother is back.  Thor, after a battle on the moon, where Nick Fury whispered something in his ear that the Watcher told him, dropped his hammer and has been unable to lift it since.  It seems that Thor is no longer worthy to lift it. But he isn't the only one. When Odin comes back he cannot lift it either and he put the magic spell on it and should be able to. Nor can anyone else who tries.  Odin decides to take over Asgardia once more which is not necessarily a good thing.

On earth a corporation has done some underwater excavation and uncovered a skull of power that the Frost Giants want and the Dark Elf Malekith, the Accursed has agreed to get for them.  Thor even though he lacks the power of his hammer shows up to fight the Dark Elf and save the earth but loses his arm and is left for dead at the bottom of the ocean.

Meanwhile, on the moon, a mysterious woman picks up Mjolnir.  She heads to earth to take up the fight and finds warriors frozen, including the Avengers.  While she is brave this does worry her as to what she is up against.  She figures out how to fight the Frost Giants that remain there and learns where the rest have headed to and what they are after and goes to stop them.

Odin is obsessed with finding out about her identity and I have to say so am I.  She has met Thor before you know that, but in what capacity who knows?  The electric blue-tinged white of the Frost Giants looks amazing next to her bright white lightning that snakes across the page.  When the Dark Elf breaks open a magic door it's a glorious sight of whirling magical symbols and gorgeous shades of pink exploding on the page.  Overall this is a fabulous comic and I can't wait to read the next one to see where it goes next.
