What Else Happens in this Comic?

All the elements are in action with this issue of The Mighty Thor #11.  SHIELD is fighting with Roxxon’s hulked out berserkers.  Dario Agger is free of his shackles and stalking Ms. Midas, the Exterminatrix.  Lady Thor is turning into a gold statue.  Somehow Jane Foster is doing surgery on Thor.  All of this as Roxxon’s flying island is about to plummet to Earth.

How is the Writing in ??

As you are reading, pay extra attention to Jane’s dialogue.  Before the end of the issue, Jason Aaron gives us many clues as to how Jane and Lady Thor are both present at the fight with Roxxon.

Showing Versus Telling

As you are reading, pay extra attention to Jane’s dialogue.  Before the end of the issue, Jason Aaron gives us many clues as to how Jane and Lady Thor are both present at the fight with Roxxon.

The Vibe

Mighty Thor #11 is absolutely an MCU movie in paper format. The plot and action flow just like a Marvel movie.  The humor beats would fit into the Loki television show.

Comic Art Review

There’s a scene where the Roxxon floating island starts to fall.  All of the characters who can’t fly are affected by the changes in altitude.  Their facial expressions as they realize that the island is going to crash is priceless.  Who thought a minotaur’s face could say so much with no word balloons.  Poor Jane has become so thin.  Cancer appears to be winning the battle.  Jane’s eyes are so tired the entire issue.

One scene that is sure to grab your attention is Mjolnir and Jane flying to stop the island’s fall.  The perspective views, overlaying panels, and sound effects come together to make one of the coolest pages we’ve seen so far in The Mighty Thor.

On the Cover

Cover A by Russell Dauterman illustrates our biggest dilemma this issue. How are Jane and Lady Thor together?  Cover B is by Pasqual Ferry, a long-time and brilliant Thor artist in his own right.  Cover C is Iron Fist by Mike McKone.  It’s looks like classic Marvel comics, but I’m not sure why it’s on The Mighty Thor.  Was Thor Odinson ever on the Defenders?

Mjolnir is more than a hammer. What's the deal?

I have to remove the irradiated bullet that's killing Thor.

Who Will Like

If you have been enjoying Lady Thor and wondering about the secrets of Mjolnir, you have to pick up this issue.  It’s the lead-in to next issue where we learn the secret history of Thor’s hammer. Mjolnir performs magic we’ve never scene before and it sets up storylines that are still playing out in Thor years later.
