More Fraction on Thor – this has really turned into a nice thing, especially since the main JMS series is so delayed.
It may just be me, but I’ve found Fraction’s THOR specials to be much better than the JMS ongoing.
i feel like Fraction is trying too hard while JMS is not trying hard enough
Love it.
how is the ongoing thor series?
i think both the fraction one-shots and the JMS series are both just really good thor books. its kinda cool that two chacracters i didnt give a shit about a few years ago are both featured in really good, solid books (Thor and Iron Man)
After singing the praises of Conan this week, I decided to give this seemingly similar title a shot. We’re talking about epic grandeur, inspiring battle scenes, and lofty language. Right?
Well. This is really, really over-wrought. And I agree with juand182 that Fraction might be trying a little too hard here. It just feels like a lot of empty words and it comes across as blustery. Some nice art here and there, especially from Allred, but ultimately this was a disappointment. If you want to see this same kind of thing handled a hell of a lot better, you know what book I’m gonna recommend.
This issue was probably the worst of the Fraction Thor books. It’s still better than 1/2 the stuff out there. A nice bonus was the addition of the original Simmonson source material in this issue. (I can never get enough of Walt’s Thor!)
@Notahiro – I also felt that this was the weakest of Fraction’s Thor one-shots. The others stood nicely on their own and required no history with the character to be fully enjoyed. Nonetheless, as a long-time Thor reader, I still found this to be very enjoyable and was fully entertained by both the writing and the art.
