Feb 21, 2018Whether she wins her battle or loses, she made her own choice. No god forced her hand, no person influenced her. Through all her struggles, Jane is, no matter what, her own woman. Jane Foster is worthy. Read Full Review

Feb 22, 2018Bottom Line: What a lovely ode to Jane Foster this was. I've never been so sad about a story where I more or less know the ending but that's the magic of Aaron and Dauterman writing this book. Read Full Review

Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison
Feb 23, 2018Thor #704 is a high-action and emotionally resonant entry that pushes further The Death of the Mighty Thor. Youre left wondering if the events will truly match the name of the story while watching your beloved characters grapple with grief, mortality, and a hulking, god-killing beast. Dauterman and Wilsons art backs up Jason Aarons story perfectly, and the book is definitely recommended. Give it a read. Read Full Review

Geeked Out Nation - Jideobi Odunze
Feb 21, 2018The beauty of Jane Foster could not have been captured any better, and neither could the pain of what it means to sacrifice everything to stick to your guns as a hero. The Mighty Thor #704 is the issue that takes us on the road to The Death of The Mighty Thor, and its hard to say if you want to shed a tear or cheer. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Harlan Ivester
Feb 21, 2018Marvel’s announcement of All-New All-Different Legacy Now 3000: The Revenge initially had me rolling my eyes, but Jason Aaron taking over Avengers was the saving grace for me, and this book is my proof that I have every reason to expect great things from it. I only recently discovered his Thor run, but Aaron has quickly become one of my favorite writers in the industry. Put him with A+ artists that always go the extra mile, and you’ve got a book that I am simply never going to shut up about. This is something that I will always, always recommend. Read Full Review

Newsarama - Scott Cederlund
Feb 26, 2018Whether it's Jane's struggle with cancer and the godhood which could simultaneously save and kill her or Loki's own acts of betrayal that are done for all of the "right" reasons, Aaron, Dauterman and Wilson explore the tender last moments of these lives, contrasting them against the brutality of these mindless forces of destruction and death.

This run continues to be the best comic series coming out of Marvel. Aaron has really set himself up as the premier writer for Marvel now that Bendis has moved to DC. This issue is filled with heart, action, and struggle which has been true of the entire Jane Foster Thor run. Aaron and Dauterman continue the high quality of work that Mighty Thor has become known for. Jane has been one of the greatest Thor's anyone can ask for. Aaron rights a god that is empathetic, powerful, and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the least among us. I can not imagine a character more worthy of being Thor. Even as it becomes obvious that Odinson is soon to take up his mantle again I have to say that Aaron take on Thor/Jane as a character is more than more

What the art is able to portray in this series has been amazing. After thinking I have seen the best they can do each issue surprises me more. The story that has been told, not just here but since the Thor: God of Thunder run until now is really amazing. Exploring the religious aspects of Thor within the Marvel universe seems like a tricky subject. Aaron has taken his time to really explore what that means. There is a very clear path that shows what this will mean for the Odinson in the future. While I, like many others have said will hate to see Jane Foster as Thor go, she is going out in the best way possible. Again like I said before there is so much from Thor's past runs that Aaron is grabbing from that many might not even notice. I hav more

Flashbacks, hospital scenes, and the fall of Asgardia come together to paint an unmissable statement on the rage that can be inspired by the cruel indifference of the universe. This issue has gorgeous art and memorable fights and a crushing Loki/Freyja talk. What will stick with me for years, though, are the insanely great parallel themes linking Mangog and Jane Foster. They are both furious at the world, but they've used that fury in completely opposite ways. Their methods are headed for a collision in the near future, but the end of Jane's story is already verging on perfection.

Wow. What a phenomenal issue. Powerful, gut-wrenching, jaw-dropping, and perhaps Dauterman's best artwork of the entire run. Simply incredible.

I really HATE that this all has to happen. But I get it. And if it has to be done, it's being done in the best possible way. Even knowing the "cliffhanger" weeks before you see it... it is still awesome. Next issue will likely be tremendous. The one after that most likely heart-breaking. And the one after that will be the saddest "great" moment everyone has been waiting for for years now. Bittersweet at best. Winter is coming.

A REALLY solid issue. The urgency of Asgardia being destroyed is paralleled with Jane's own inner despair and will to fight in a beautiful way.

Jason Aaron's sweeping story of Thor is reaching a conclusion of sorts, as the Thor we've been following for the last few years is facing a choice between the hammer and the worlds she has been defending and her own health--her own life. There is a grandeur to the scenes with Jane, even as she has been devastated by cancer, a nobility that stands in the face of death. These scenes are mirrored by Odin and Odinson's last ditch struggle against Mangog. All of this is epic, and all of this is absolutely beautifully rendered by Russell Dauterman, who has emerged over the course of the last few years to become one of the absolute best in the industry. This is a great individual book in what has been a great series.
