"BANNER OF WAR" PART TWO!
The 60th Anniversary celebration - and Thor and Hulk's epic rivalry - continues in the second installment of the crossover between the HULK and THOR series! Banner's newfound control of his rage is prolonging this fight more than Thor expected, and with Banner holding his own, Thor must get creative. Odin's breakthrough look into Banner's psyche seems to slow the violence, but will it be enough? Additionally, new creators to the THOR title bring glimpses into the possible futures of Thor and his friends!

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
May 18, 2022Thor #25 fills in critical and long-overdue blanks from the main Hulk run with clarity on everything from the Avengers' whereabouts to the oft-referenced El Paso incident. The art is generally good, except for an occasional odd panel with weird facial expressions and body proportions, and there are plenty of wow moments to keep you engaged. Read Full Review

A great second part of this crossover that finally answers what happened with Bruce in El Paso (despite not explaining HOW quite yet). That was the strongest part of this issue for me, but there was a lot more here to like as well. The meeting in the beginning with all of the heroes was well-done, especially with Tony, Steve, and Reed. Speaking of Tony, the final few pages of this book really kick this battle into high gear. Along with Hulk now under the impression he's still in a simulation, when he actually isn't, we also have Tony pulling up to the fight in what seems to be a Celestial-esque suit. Awesome stuff.

I would've liked the events of El Paso be told in a Hulk part, but otherwise I really liked this.

It was very solid. I think that it hit some good notes with Tony, the incident in El Paso and that ending but, I did feel they half ass addressed the shift from Immortal Hulk. The back up stories were not that good except for seeing Ron Frenz back on some art.

Although Cates is continuing to lean on altering power sets to generate his stories, it's working well for him here. The scenes in the bar come off as suitable traumatizing.

Okay, so regardless of the title, this is an issue of Hulk. That's the way the crossover cookie crumbles, and I'm okay with it. Because it's a damned good issue of the Hulk. The El Paso mystery is explained in full, and I like the explanation. This strikes the perfect balance between answering old questions and raising new ones. The prose is decent, there's some solid comedy, and the structure is impeccable; this script's a real tension-generator. The art's daring and the finish is a little quirky, but I like it. Even the bonus strips are cool.

For those wondering if Cates is ever going to acknowledge Immortal Hulk, you have your answer. I can understand it being slightly weird having it brought up in a Thor book, BUT to be fair it is not only acknowledged by the same writer but also that same said writer who is crossing the 2 books over this does make reading both books MATTER. Martin's art is pretty good. Nothing crazy here but it gets the job done. Cates writes a great Tony Stark by the way. Maybe one day he can write an Iron Man book. While I am not fond of the appearance of the Celestial-like Hulkbuster armor, it did make for a cool cliffhanger for an issue that empphasized on exposition. Looking forward to Hulk #7 next week and of course my interest in the Hulk series has es more

I had fun with this one. Donny's blockbuster story is rightfully loud as can be, the second tale was very solid, and the Norse mythology story at the end was a strange addition, but it was a fun little read.

It was cool. The side stories too. But... seeing the artwork of the third one, after the second one is just... I think I need to read some more classic Marvel comics in the foreseeable future. It was so damn good looking, especially faces.

It was better than the Alpha issue, at least. Cards on the table, I read this because it ties into the Hulk's comic. I'm not up on Thor, and I don't want to be. This issue committed one of the Cardinal Sins of Comics; it explained a key plot point for a series in a tie-in issue. We finally got an explanation of what happened in El Passo... in a Thor comic. Not a Hulk comic. There's no excuse for that. Otherwise it wasn't bad. The cover is great. Gary Frank has been killing it on covers for this crossover. Sure would be nice if Marvel'd pony up to have him do interiors. Speaking of which...yeah, not great. Martin Coccolo did a very uneven job on this issue, and there's no inker to lay the blame on. Some pages, like the final splash more
