Thor: God of Thunder #5 Review

Thor: God of Thunder #5

3 / 5

Thor: God of Thunder has been one of my favorite Marvel Now series. It has exemplified everything that makes Thor fun while not shackling him to the limitations of events on Earth. Unfortunately, issue #5 is something of a let down. What was supposed to be a 5 issue arc has no expanded into who knows how many, meaning the conclusion I was expecting this week is no where in sight. I love continuing this arc - the villain is great and I want to see more of him - but I hate having the rug pulled out from under me like that. It's kind of like what the Green Lantern books have been doing for the last few months just trailing from one arc to the next. 

The events in the story are mostly satisfying. We get a taste of how some things can be set right that were ruined before. We also got more background on our villain. I suppose the next issue is going to give him a lot of attention given the title of the next issue. 

All-in-all, the weakest of the 5 T:GoT books released so far, but still a remarkable series. I wish the rest of the Marvel Now books were this good.
