    It may be too early to pass judgment, but Gillen's new arc of JIM shows the potential to be as well-crafted and immensely entertaining as any of the writer's Thor work to date. If you've neglected the book so far (and shame on you if you have), this isn't a bad time to jump on board. Read Full Review

    After the shaky tie-in with New Mutants, I'm definitely glad to see Gillen and Elson take the series back to its roots. Read Full Review

    A promising beginning to what looks to be an interesting new arc, Journey Into Mystery #639 features a solid return to form, featuring very above par performances from Gillen and co. Regular fans of the book won't be remiss picking this one up...and also, can I say, reader-friendly jumping on point? Those on the fence, waste your time no more and come onboard my friends! You won't regret it, that we can promise you. Read Full Review

    The start of a story that feels much more like JIM in its element, both in script and art. A good issue and I think it'll only get better from here. Read Full Review

    With the Exiled crossover and Journey Into Mystery shipping this week too, it seems like we've had Journey Into Mystery for six weeks in a row, and it shows no sign of letting off steam as we move into yet another arc. Taking Loki out of his comfort zone has added a new edge to the series, and it already had more edges than porcupine with a ruler. This series hasn't had a bad issue yet, and this is no exception.
