Immortal Thor #3

While it fits nicely into the overarching Immortal Thor story, Immortal Thor #3 also serves as a self-contained story done in the style of a Norse fable and it all works perfectly. Read Full Review

Immortal Thor #3is a witty, weird, wild ride. Its Thor and Loki at their finest and the creative team behind them at their finest, too. Read Full Review

Coccolo delivers fantastic art in the issue. The visual style is perfect for the otherworldly setting and the characters look amazing. Read Full Review

Immortal Thor #3 is a nice bottle story, focusing Thor's attention on a problem only Loki could devise. While it doesn't build too much on the story of Toranos, it does have a classic Marvel feel that's unmistakable. Read Full Review

Immortal Thor #3 takes the foot off the gas in Thor's struggle to stop Toranos before the giant makes it back to Earth. The narrative looks, sounds, and feels like an Epic poem from centuries ago, but unfortunately, the pacing takes a big hit compared to the previous issues. Read Full Review

Immortal Thor #3 shows Thor trapped on an alien planet as part of Loki's mysterious big test. Martin Coccolo's art continues to be exemplary here as we see the various interactions between Thor and Loki which range from being serious to comical at times. The only issue is that the big "test from Loki wasn't really that intriguing or intense other than trying Thor's patience. But it does serve a purpose for Thor that's more practical and sets things up for the next issue that may be more exciting. Read Full Review

AN ACCIDENTAL MASTERPIECE? This ish had some great dialogue between the shape shifting Loki god of stories and Thor. How Loki starts boyish, to girlish and then a mix at first came off as agenda driven however the further you read the story it makes sense in the context of what Loki is doing. Loki is offering to aid Thor and clearly the reader in one panel sees how Loki is somehow pulling the strings but as to why one can only guess? As Loki gives Thor a necessary test to prepare him for the next battle with Toranos Loki changes constantly in emotion and physically as well until he reveals his full androgynous god form. It is a bit creepy, a perfectly drawn female head with twisted horns and hair but the body of a man at least that's wha t it seems. At first I was put off, but the more I thought about it the more horrifying Loki became in this particular ish. Why am I focusing on this aspect? Well like in the Vote Loki comic there is a small part where he shape shifts into a woman. The reason was actually logical and comedic simultaneously. When asked why are you now a woman Loki responded with "Trying to see if this will improve my chances to win the Presidency." Clearly a subtle jab and cultural joke on how politics is surface level bullshit. In this ish Ewing is probably aiming to get your goad because of his ideology if he has one but if that is the case he fails in this respect. Instead by accident Ewing created a Loki that is endemic and symbolic of our current turbulent times. Constantly changing, unsure, a pendulum swinging from right to left, boy/girl. This is the embodiment of madness, Loki has reached truly the height of deception and insanity. For Thor reminds the reader throughout this ish that "the storyteller lies" and only stays true for the story. Why this particular theme really excites my imagination is because being a fan of the Loki TV show as well, this makes me wonder if Loki when becoming the god of stories retained his new persona of selflessness from being with Sylvi, Mobius, B-15 and company. Or did he attain his goal of ultimate godhood where even Thor if Thor would understand this new height of Loki, would be absolutely terrified of his brothers ascendance. In other words, is all of this the work of Loki? Does Loki being the god of stories, the maintainer of the multiverse, does he even have sway on the elder gods? Thus his constantly shape shifting form throughout this ish symbolizing this possible inner conflict of accepting this new godhood and using it for nefarious purposes or fighting to retain his heroic capabilities? This is probably over thinking it, but isn't that the fun of reading comics? So just for that intellectual stimulation this ish gets a perfect 10! more

It's pretty dang close to perfection as both a Thor comic and a comic-comic. There's an admirably self-contained story, yet it's undeniable that this will prove meaningful to the larger narrative in the end. The characters are smart, engaging, and deeply in-character. This shows both Thor and Loki at their best, and their interactions are completely captivating

Al Ewing continues his masterful take on the God of Thunder. Ewing has not only managed to create a classic Thor character for today’s comic world, but his writing for Loki is one of the most nuanced and subtle presentations of the character in a long time. The relationship between the characters is complex and empathetic, which offers readers an exciting and complex dynamic to see evolving before our eyes. While some may see this as a “filler” issue far too early in Ewing’s run, I have no doubt this type of character work will payoff down the road in the capable hands of the best comic writers today. Martín Cóccolo’s art continues to be one of the most visually pleasing experiences around, with each issue blending a sense of no stalgia and contemporary techniques. more

This title continues to be really well-written and well-drawn with the third issue. Cóccolo's art is just so clean and it does nothing but make every page better. I hope he doesn't leave this title anytime soon. As for Ewing, he definitely has a case for being one of the best writers Marvel has right now. This run and his current X-Men: Red series have both been great, and I'm planning on checking out his current Venom run with Ram V. and Torunn Grønbekk very soon. Back to this issue, I think both Thor and Loki are written very nicely here. Thor is forced to challenge himself in order to solve Loki's riddle, which was entertaining, and I really enjoyed how this was done as way for Loki to help Thor prepare for Toranos. Plus, I'm super exc ited to see Storm coming into this. I mentioned Ewing's X-Men: Red run earlier, and he's written Storm fantastically in that. I have no doubts this will continue to be the case when she inevitably shows up. more

I love the art, and cover. I love how Ewing is writing this, the voice for the characters is on point. I hope this continues to build to something special.

Stronger than the first two. And there are thought bubbles! And Ewing makes them work in 2023!

It was a good read for the most part. Just felt a little boring. I do like the concept of the issue, it just didn't feel that exciting.

One of the worst comics I’ve ever read. There’s no action, the plot is barely there, and the dialogue is boring and pointless—it doesn’t add anything to the story. A complete waste of potential for a character like Thor.
