Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze
Oct 23, 2019King Thor #2 turned out to be a roller coaster of emotions. We all jumped into this for one last big drawn-out battle, and so far we have walked away with so much more. The return of Gorr was amazingly executed, the dialogue was exciting, and the interactions between Thor and Loki was heartbreaking. This is how you make sure readers who have stuck through with this since the start get what they invested in all these years. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Christopher Landers
Oct 29, 2019In the end, if you've been reading Aaron's run on Thor, you'll want to pick up this book, as it is the wrap up of his massive tale. The last of his storylines are being tied up here, even some that you thought were already concluded. If you haven't been reading Aaron's run, however, you might feel a little lost with this book. As mentioned above, it leans heavily on what Aaron established years ago, and it does so unapologetically. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. It just means you should go back and start at the beginning of Aaron's unparalleled run and enjoy every bit of it. This is a legendary comic book story coming to an end, and it should not be missed for any reason. Read Full Review

Oct 23, 2019All in all this book feels incredibly important even though it takes place in the far future and there isn't a single Marvel hero outside Thor to be seen. That's saying something! Read Full Review

King Thor is just a perfect comic, plain and simply. Ribic's art is heavenly and Aaron understands the Thor Loki dynamic perfectly. 11/10

I will never get enough of Jason Aaron writing Thor vs Gorr with Esad Ribic illustrating. Epic.

9.5
The final battle of Thor for the fate of everything is living up to expectations. The scale of power being displayed in this is laughably awesome. But it's not all spectacle. Jason Aaron is making sure to close off his Thor run with some heavy emotional moments. I struggle to find anything to complain about with this issue. Everyone is at the top of their game, and I'll be rereading this run for years to come.

Much stronger than the last issue. The art is much more detailed in my opinion, which leads to some beautiful action sequences. The story is also still interesting of course after the surprise return in the last issue. Love it, just wish this wouldn't be the end

I do like this a lot. Jason Aaron made me originally interested in Thor and I'm glad he is going out with a bang. Gorr is a greater final "boss", than Loki, as Gorr's actions made Thor "unworthy". So more of this please-

Prelude: King Thor started majestically in its first issue. But now that the story has started rolling, will Aaron keep this quality up? The Good: Loki is a lot better now than he was before. Bit of a combination between last issue's Loki and the one we all know. Gorr's motive is logical considering what he has seen I liked the Thor and Loki moments. Art was strong throughout the issue. Ribic is going all out here. The Bad: The Girls of Thunder basically did nothing this issue. Conclusion: Another strong chapter for King Thor. I'm loving this series and can't wait to see where it goes next.

Taps nicely into the love-hate relationship that Thor and Loki share while maintaining epic comic book battle status. Loki never fails to add a new dimension to the story.

Thor vs. Gorr is still a pretty good song and dance, but a familiar one. I'm sure there are a few twists still to come.

4.0
Art is still good if you like Esad Ribic's style. On the story... Just characters hitting each other and being wildly out of character (if you even buy they're the characters they supposed to be... which I really don't) so Aaron can make a point that never existed. OR Jason Aaron fundamentally misunderstands Loki, but he insists on writing him anyway, and is in the progress of shitting up the best part of his Thor run. (Edit: Also more Freyja apologia. I loath that. She needs punishment not excuses.)
