Note: this is a spoiler-free advance review of The Mighty Thor #1, which will be released on Wednesday, November 18.
Jason Aaron's long Thor run has taken a number of forms over the past few year. What began as Thor: God of Thunder morphed into Thor with the debut of the Odinson's new replacement. Then that was replaced for Secret Wars with the ensemble series Thors. Now the series is being relaunched yet again for All-New, All-Different Marvel. The name keeps changing, but the core appeal of this epic fantasy saga remains.
The Mighty Thor #1 deftly balances the need to offer an accessible gateway for new readers while continuing the momentum of previous stories. Despite the Secret Wars hiatus, this issue picks up pretty much where Thor #8 left off this past spring. Aaron and artist Russell Dauterman are quickly building towards a "War of the Realms." The alliance between Roxxon CEO Dario Agger and Malekith threatens to polarize every realm of the World Tree. The disappearance of the Odinson, the squabbling among the Council of realms and the obstinance of Odin himself only make the situation that much more precarious. And even as she fights to prevent all-out war, the new Thor must wrestle with the fact that he new godly powers are slowly killing her.
