6-What did I just read? The art was interesting, but I couldn't even tell what was going on.
7-No Jane Foster for 2 issues? I still don't love the art in Loki's storytelling.
8-Yay! Jane is back.
9-So fun. The Silver Samurai is pretty cool.
10-What?!? Also, the light elf at the beginning was fun. I want to see where that goes.
11-They've made the shield agents too stupid to be believable.
12-I liked the origin story of Mjolnir

More Roxxon corporate drama. Agger is an interesting character.

What a nice side story Loki had told about Vikings and Thor though I think it's a waste of opportunity using up two issues. There were interesting developments in Midgard regarding Agger which feels good because he's having a hard time on his own but the writer didn't forget to weave Jane's story who's now teaming up with an agent. There's a pretty cool light elf introduced which made me wish for more Alfheim heroes stories. And the most amazing part of the volume is Mjolnir's backstory. Jason Aaron's not missing opportunities to put his touch on every aspect of Thor's story. Also, I like how the artists were able to sexualize Agger with all those wounds and chains.

I enjoyed Volume 1 far more but the things that this volume did with Mjolnir is very interesting!

This story line is simultaneousl funny and breaking my heart. The writing is very well done, and the art is beautiful.

I like this series, but there's never enough Jane Foster!Thor. There's always side stories that have nothing to do with anything. Granted the first part of the volume has a small part later on it wasn't needed. It was just a way to throw Loki into the story. And I'm sure the last part was needed for later one but there's still never enough about Jane Foster. And why the hell is SHIELD trying to figure out who Thor is? That just seemed like a stupid ass subplot.

Can't wait to see what's gonna happen next! Need to get my hands on volume 3 ASAP!!! I especially love Loki in this, and how badass Jane is while dealing with everything! So brilliant and moving. I sure hope she doesn't die, she's just so damn awesome.

Ah, the smell of misogyny in the reviews of this comic. How utterly predictable.

But in all honesty, this one of the greatest comic runs I've ever read. We needed a fresh rebirth of Thor-- he was boring. This arc gives him and everyone around him an exciting edge to his normally meh existence. It gives substance to the entirety of the myth/legend of the hammer.

I am so curious how they are going to play this all out in the movie.

Enjoyed it. understood the necessity of the prelude but it was rather long of a feature.
