While I’m a little tired of the “Thor isn’t worthy” story that’s been on and off in Thor books for years now, I really like the dialogue between the weird characters that crop up in the Thor universe. The final page alone has some fun potential for future stories. As always Donny Cates knows how to write no matter the overall story and the artwork is Bandini and Ferry is just stellar for this type of story.

I continue to vibe with Cates' run on Thor. This collection is a little uneven, simply because it's responsible for a decent bit of setup and includes a good but unremarkable annual. But the core story of Thor asking his family and friends for help regarding his continued issues with Mijonir is excellent. Cates strikes an ideal balance of action, humor, and heaviness, and I love seeing him continue to put Thor through an emotional wringer. The tension between Thor and Mjolnir is somewhat tired ground at this point, but I appreciate the angle Cates takes with it and am eager to see more of how he continues to shape Thor into an All-Father of Asgard.
Bandini's art for those three primary issues is almost exclusively top-tier. Bandini captures the grandiose scale of the action with just as precision as the more intimate moments between Thor's family, especially when backed up by Wilson's consistently outstanding colors. The concluding issue is fun (I always enjoy seeing Throg), but the more whimsical tone is a little jarring and leaves the story on a weird note. I continue to be very onboard with whatever Cates is doing with Thor, though, and I hope he sticks around long enough to make a lasting mark on the character.
