Reviews

I have a confession, I have not always worshiped at the altar of the Odinson. Sure one of my first 10 comics was Thor #325 and I loved the Thor cartoons on channel 44 and the only non-Spider-Man or Hulk Marvel toy I owned was a Thor puppet, but it was not until the fall of 1986 that I experienced nirvana wrapped in a four color comic. Sure I had a bunch of comics by that time but it wasn't until Mr. White's English class learning about the Norse myths that Scott Johnson happened to be flipping through X-Factor #16 with an opening page spread of Walter Simonson's battle armored Thor bringing Ice-Man home to Midgard. I was hopelessly in love. Scott told me that Thor now looked like that all the time in his comics. So that day I skipped the bus for the first time and walked home from school so I could go straight to Graham Crackers first. I even passed on lunch that glorious day so I could have the extra $3.00 to spend on comics. I found issues #378, 379 and 380 on the stands. I have been addicted to Thor, Walter Simonson, vikings and the Norse myths ever since. I have collected every monthly issue of Thor and gotten all the back issues all the way back to Journey Into Mystery #83. I have suffered mighty lows, Bruce Zick to countless Toyfare magazine jokes to the outright cancelling of Thor itself to the dizzying highs of JMS & Coipel to Ribic & Aaron. NOTHING has come this close to the feeling of wonder and power and delight of seeing Simonson's Thor for the first time. Nothing.
