Likes: I like the fact that JMS has latched onto the fact that a story can be told in a title like Thor. I mean it doesn't have to be from Thanos to Galactus to Surtur and back again for Thor to be interesting. Thor is one of the best reads in Marvel comics right now. I like the art work. I like the new outfit. I love the little glimpse into Loki's "homelife" growing up (sheesh!! no wonder he's such a twisted son-of-gun!) That being said, something new I'd like to see is the character of Thor written with a tad more consistency than he has been in the past...specifically the outcome of some of his battles. I suppose what I mean is this: People read different comics for different reasons...I latched onto Thor when I was a kid because he was originally Marvel's heaviest hitter (and I couldn't stomach DC's Superman...I do like Batman, however...). I have a soft spot for the powerhouses like Thor, Surfer, etc...what I don't like to see is Thor lose to folks he shouldn't lose to. Especially with him not "holding back any longer...". And especially now that he has possesion of the Odin-force. I can't see another superhero in all of comicbookdom (yes, DC's Superman included...I know I'm evil...), save for SS or the Sentry, that could match Thor, raw strength or total power.
I figure, with the advent of Marvel studios, their recent successes at the box office and resultant influence with the comic book community at large, the next time Thor and Superman meet in a crossover, the outcome should be different...
