Thor, Vol. 2

I have so many questions

The good: The characterization of the new Thor is great. She's clearly and unambiguously heroic, and manages to avoid a lot of the “grim and gritty” qualities that too many superhero comics fall prey too.

The bad: A mystery isn't really a mystery if the answer is literally the first thing you think of when you hear the concept. Also, I'm confused by Aaron's conception of “worthiness”. The Odinson became unworthy because he gained knowledge about himself, I gather? Which is weird. I've always interpretted the worthiness of Mjolnir to be based on actions, rather than knowledge.

How to get me to read superhero comics? Thor.

Whatevs, I've had so much fun reading this. And I don't hate the art. Well done, Marvel.

Also, loved the horror element of disembodied heads being kept alive artificially as punishment. Nice touch, Agger.
