I wouldn't say that. There was quite a bit of introspection in Jurgens' run. I think JMS' take is definitely a fresh and interesting take on the Asgardians more so than Thor himself, though. We've rarely seen the other Asgardians integrated so heavily into the forefront of a Thor series as we have in this current volume. I love that, especially how the Asgardians are open to and genuinely curious about interacting with mortals now. The scene with Kelda and Bill Jr. was excellent and served as a perfect centerpiece for this issue, which seems to be the beginning of the transition in the series' focus from the resurrection of the Asgardians to the Asgardians' new lives with the new, heavier influence of mortals on them. I look forward to more of that in the future.
Regarding the decompression, I think it's good for Thor. He's an epic character and epics often move slowly. It's not like any issue so far has just squandered its page count, either; each and every one has had very specific things to show us on the journey toward Asgard's rejuvenation on Earth. I think the real problem is the combination of the decompressed story and the delays. It only feels slower than it really is because it's taken us almost 8 months to get 6 issues so far, and each issue doesn't really feel complete on its own.
