  While I still think Wyman's art is really cool even if it is a little inconsistent in quality, Thomas' writing remains shockingly bad for Thor. The dialogue feels so stilted and alien, often full of awkward exposition. The way Thor and High Evolutionary talk to each other is very difficult to relate to or even picture in my head coming out of these characters. I found the action really badly rendered, too. As much as Wyman does a great job making creative panels and setting scenes, his action might be Thor's battles at its worst in all the 90s. They just don't convey all the beats of the battles like they want to.
  
  A civilian is injured in this issue which I think could have been a big or dramatic deal but the art really strugg les to emphasize that point. The fighting also makes Thor seem weak and careless. He ultimately loses this fight and it doesn't feel like High Evolutionary earned the victory at all. That transitions us to the biggest problem with the High Evolutionary in this time - there are way, way too many characters going on around him at this point. With multiple different factions and creations, there's no room for Thor in Thor anymore, and it is a problem that won't go away for a long time. The origins of the Godlings felt pretty badly written, too. Just pages and pages of nonsense narration by the High Evolutionary that felt written by a child. And the characters just feel so lame while Thomas' writing suggests he really kind of loves him. It's too bad cause this just doesn't work for me. more
