Thor Annual #1

This is a great annual in its own right thanks to some impeccable art throughout and a story deserving of the annual format. Kuder has supplied an exciting story that utilizes the hero-fighting-himself trope to perfection. It's also one of the prettiest superhero comics of the year, period. Read Full Review

There is a lot to enjoy about Thor Annual #1. Kuder really put his skills to the test in both the story and the book's art. It's fun, and I love it when artists create beautiful panels and spread that make readers look at every detail to make sure they aren't missing anything. The inkers and colorist did a great job as well. The issue does come to a rather abrupt ending, which I didn't care for. However, it adds to the idea that Thor as a character has come a long way from who he used to be. Read Full Review

Thor Annual #1 is a fantastic rainbow bridge between two eras of Thor. It is a book filled with fun, simply placing two extremely powerful beings against each to fight it out Read Full Review

I was excited for this Annual, but I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed it. It's the best kind of popcorn action comic- a punch-em-up with depth. Read Full Review

Thor Annual #1 is an action-packed, nostalgic read. In some ways a What If? issue, it reminds us of what transpired in older Thor stories, but also asks what might have happened instead. Read Full Review

As with other entries in theInfinite Destinies series, Thor Annual #1 delivers entertainment, though with little connection to the other books, save for the Fury backup story. Read Full Review

Thor Annual #1 proves to be one of the better, recent Thor stories providing readers with a vibrant look at the Nine Realms and a compelling Thor epic that won't break the bank. Read Full Review

For this one I would recommend it to Thor completionists or anyone who just want a Thor story and already have the one where he punches the Hulk so hard they destroy a planet. Read Full Review

Thor has more ahead of him. Although he is now the All-Father, it remains to be seen that there are more enemies lurking somewhere out there in the cosmos. As Thor begins anew, readers are left with a special prologue that will set off the next chapter in The Immortal Thor #1. Be sure to pick up this issue before the next series begins. Thor Annual #1 assists those who are just getting into Thor for the first time or have been reading his story for ages. Copies are available at your local comic book store or online wherever they are sold. Dont want to miss this for sure. Read Full Review

The main story works just fine as a one-off, there is no need to read the other books in the Infinite Destinies series, you are better off reading War of the Realms as a primer. The main story includes good art and a strong mix of lore, humor and character. I always enjoy a humor at Hawkeye's expense. I did read the Infinite Fury backup story but was completely lost since I haven't read the first four installments. What I did read here does not entice me to look into it any further.

This genuinely feels like a tribute to the Jason Aaron run of Thor with War of the Realms guest characters. That and the mythical heights on the idea of what could've been. Just look at who I believe is Soul infinity person, a person whose goals reflect the antagonist of Infinity Fury, Nighthawk. Nighthawk knows his world's imperfections came from the wish that was beholden towards Mephisto. But with the Infinity People and Fury's help, he wants to recreate the world that won't be under a god's or devil's thumb. He genuinely speaks like a politician who wants to put the people first. With his record in the Heroes Reborn tie-ins he would have the heroic drives to do so. But therein lies the problem, he uses social engineering where the ar t distorts Fury's mind. Also it still has the problem of that America first policy where Nighthawk was directly part of why parts of the world were a wasteland. Nighthawk genuinely feels like a real-life villain in this context. more

It's the best issue of this crossover thta for sure. The art is a lot better and dynamic. It's just funny how thor beats the different from thor by hugging him (I know he uses the bifrost bridge but that imagery made me chuckle)

This was a good one-shot, but I'm confused as to why it's part of this event, unless Valg is holding the soul gem or something. I guess we'll see. On its own, it's good, at least. The Infinite Fury back-up is really well done. I want to see where that goes, for sure.

I liked the art a lot, the story had potential but in the end it went nowhere.

In another annual that doesn't seem to connect either to its ongoing or the Infinite Destinies event, Thor gets to fight an evil doppelganger at a party on Alfheim. The art is definitely the high point, as intended. The story and the writing aren't that memorable, but it's mighty easy on the eyes. In the B strip (with more artistic excellence), Nighthawk maybe brainwashes Nick Fury Jr. and definitely confirms he's a refugee from the Heroes Reborn universe.
