Thor #34

Gedeon and Davila deliver some beautifully detailed and thrilling art that perfectly complements the exciting and surprising story. Read Full Review

Thor #34 appears to be the penultimate issue of this story arc, where we see Thor vs. Dr. Doom vs. Thanos for the fate of a mysterious child who unsurprisingly turns out to be Hela. Don't let Nic Klein's cover fool you though, there's very little action in this comic between these three and Juan Gedeon's art sadly isn't up to the task of bringing such a battle to life. It also doesn't help that the comic wastes too much time on themes that are supposed to be grand but are poorly told and end up being extremely derivative of subject matter explored in past Thor runs. Unfortunately, this comic fails to deliver what should be an otherwise fun and epic comic featuring a battle between three of Marvel Comic's most popular heavy-hitters. Read Full Review

Thor #34 falls completely flat because of narrative choices made. Even in the few positive moments that are all canceled out by writing that gets in its own way. It leads to what take places in Thor #34 fail to have the epic tone you would expect from a story involving Thor, Thanos, and Doctor Doom. Read Full Review

A sad end to a tumultuous run. Read Full Review

I don’t understand the criticism of the story it’s great. Starting to think comicbookcom doesn’t like female writers or something

Comicbook.com is full of weirdos.

You’re right on the money. I looked at their review history and it’s all over the place with random shit takes. Cant take them seriously

"Professional" comic review sites are either incredibly biased, reactionary rags, or extremely positive to the point that almost everything gets a pass.

I wish the art was better, but I really do like the writing. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/xJz6buvNFZ MY PHYSICAL COLLECTION (FOR SHOWING OFF): https://psycamorean.libib.com/

While I do think that an issue with Thor, Doom, and Thanos should be a lot better and/or crazier, this was still good. This is one of my favorite issues of Grønbekk's Thor so far, and it's a shame that it's ending with the next issue just as things were getting more interesting to me. She was given a tough task with this "mini-run" of sorts.

The author draws all her plot-threads taut, and a respectably epic story comes bursting into clarity. The art continues to drive me bonkers. It's not at all bad. In fact, it's a notably strong example of this chunky-indie-punk-ish style. Expressive characters and some powerful blocking. The tone just couldn't be wronger for a big mystical Asgardian origin story, though.

It's better than before but still a bit messy. I'm finally starting to become interested in this story and it gets concluded in the next issue, which feels sad. But consideringthe situation, I get why.

Part of me was interested, but another part of me felt like it was a wasted opportunity to have Thor, Doom and Thanos together for this uninspired issue.

Torunn Gronbekk is not a bad writer, and with time and experience she can be very good. But this is messy. She got a poisonned gift.I can't fault her too much because she's trying to salvage Cate's plot, but it's not good...
