    This is another solid issue in the series. Everything about this feels like the updated adventures of Thor. For long-time Thor fans, it feels familiar yet distinct. Read Full Review

    Instead of being frustrated I’m not getting the Thor I feel I want, I’m finally happy to accept the Sigurd I’m getting. The clean but detailed lines from Pasqual Ferry add so much to the breakneck speed of this issue - even the wonderfully written talking head segments bounce and flow easily from the stylized faces of familiar characters presented in new and interesting ways. I miss the weirdness of the realms balanced by the seriousness of Asgard, but when viewed holistically there’s something about the slow burn approach that finally clicked for me. The Mortal Thor #9 was a turning point for me that raised it several spots closer to the top of my reading list when it comes out. Read Full Review

    It’s a nice bounce back for the series, but one that still leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a good story, but one that feels like there’s no goal in sight and just wandering around NYC. Read Full Review
