This was my favourite issue of Thor: The Mighty Avenger. Partly because it was the first part of what will be the final story of this magnificent series; partly, because it was an absolutely fantastic tale of Thor taking on giant robots and starting to lose the trust of the people he’s sworn to protect. It feels like a fall from grace for the character and Roger Landridge pens one of the single issues about the character I’ve read in a long time; there are even some references to Landridge’s work on The Muppets comic book via the unwitting villains. Then there’s the implied night of passion between Thor and Jane, something I never thought I’d see in an all ages book, but it works perfectly with the world Landridge has built up in this book. Now, the artwork: Chris Samnee is my favourite artist working in comics right now, and this series has been the best example of his work; every page is vibrant and alive and the characters are perfectly realised. It makes me sad that the next issue is the last as this has certainly been the most fun I’ve had reading a comic book in 2010, and it darkens the doorway into 2011 by having it taken away from me.
