4.0

In the first volume of Thor stories we have Dr. Donald Blake finding Mjolnir, being worthy to lift it, and thus he is transformed into Thor; however, he still thinks and acts a lot like Blake. In this volume, you'll see that gradually Thor thinks and acts more like Thor, talks like Thor, makes decisions like a god, etc. It's as if it took Lee and Kirby several months to figure the character out. By the midway point, Thor is recognizable in his (more or less) current form. That's where the fun part starts for me!

There's a marked improvement in both story and art in this second volume, although far too many plots have Jane in danger and Thor separated from his hammer. Kirby really starts to shine, parrticularly in the scenes set in Asgard. But the best is yet to come.
