  This era of Thor working with the High Evolutionary is cluttered with too many characters and devoid of enough fun to really be enjoyed. It's a bit of a shame. I like Roy Thomas normally. Art isn't very impressive, either, often not working for me well with the substandard writing. Thor's design here is awful, although a couple of panels stand out at showing Thor's expressions nicely. They do something fun in that Thor and the High Evolutionary are attacked by the same rock-people from Thor's first comic appearance, which happened 400 issues ago. I wish it was more of an enjoyable experience though, as the High Evolutionary's creations take up a lot of space in this comic for nothing gained. There's also way too much exposition in th e later half of the comic after the rock people are defeated. Donald Blake being separate character from Thor and having him with Jane Foster and her kid adds to this feeling of bloat, but I guess we resolve that here. There's way too much going on in this comic for that moment to have any weight, though, and we end up overly focused on Thor and the Godpack fighting some High Evolutionary creation dude living in space and wearing only underwear. It'd dumb, extremely clunky, and way too drawn out thanks to this comic's supersized nature.
  
  Back-up story with Red Novell and Sif was just okay, kind of boring. There's another with the Warriors Three that's more fun as they battle a monster. It's a lot cuter than anything else in this mess. more
