Immortal Thor #17 concludes the fight between Thor and Dario Aggers motley crew of villains. Once the fight is wrapped up, the story has Thor conclude his business with The Enchantress, or so we think. This comic isnt that excitable, and it somewhat reminds readers of the slow progress on the Utgard storyline. However, the ending does provide a surprise reveal as to whom Enchantress wanted to bring back. But it still begs the question of why. Naturally, well see in the next issue. Read Full Review

Al Ewing continues to bounce the All-Father Thor around. It feels to me that, although Thor possesses all the powers available to him, he lacks character. Furthermore, Thor has no agency. Read Full Review

This continues to be an interesting take on the character. The art is solid and the writing is good. My one gripe is that when Thor told Enchantress to "say his name" about the specific son he was agreeing to resurrect and she played coy and never said it, it was immediately obvious that she was going to resurrect someone else, and Thor should have noticed. But otherwise, good stuff.

I think what makes this series strange for me personally is how the plot isn't that focused and it is a bit confusing. Immortal Thor seems to be a deconstruction or talking about how big corporations like Marvel, DC, Image, etc dictate what the story is and how it should go instead of letting writers do their own thing with some oversight.

But the problem is that the dialogue does not work (even in its Shakespearan way), the characters are kind of uninteresting, and I honestly forgot a bit what happened earlier. So it's not a bad series, but it is a disappointment for me, considering on how I eventually grew to appreciate and like Al Ewing's other works besides Immortal Hulk and Venom.
