War Thor Enters the War of the Realms

What Else Happens in this Comic?

Returning to Nidavellir, the War Thor brings the battle to the fire demons who are no match for the Bloodstorm. The Enchantress and King Ulik also try their hand at defeating Volstagg, the War Thor. They also fail miserably. Pushed forward by the Ultimate Mjolnir, Volstagg travels to the Ten Realms seeking vengeance for the death of the elf children.

How is the Writing in ??

The Dialogue

After you absorb the awesomeness that issue #21 is, reread the dialogue between the fire demons. All of there life references are filtered through the lens of ‘fire’. Even their curse words are fire-based, “Sutur’s bones”, “my flaming”, “ice”, and “flameless”. In just a few pages, the fire demons are something real and practical.

The Vibe

The Mighty Thor #21 could only be a comic book. It’s has all the hallmarks of a comic with just a touch of darkness (War Thor’s rage). We get lots of action. The hero goes fisticuffs with our villains.

Comic Art Review

What I really enjoyed about Valerio Schiti’s art in The Mighty Thor #21 is all the panel breaking. He uses it to give emphasis to Mjolnir flying at its enemies. He also uses it to call out the War Thor. Capes flowing. Helmet wings breaking out of the panel. Facial expressions continue to be a strong point of the art. Just look at the hate in the War Thor’s eyes as he turns to the Fire Demons or the disbelief in the Enchantress’ face as the War Thor deflects her best blast.

On the Cover

Series regular, Russell Dauterman, draws the cover for The Mighty Thor #21. All three heroes in possession of the power of Thor are present, Prince Thor Odinson, Jane Foster and Volstagg. They are surrounded by fire demons. It’s great seeing the Thors together, but the cover has very little to do with the action inside.

Who Will Like

Enchantress fans. Alert. Buy this issue of The Mighty Thor. She doesn’t get enough scene time and the Enchantress is a delightful character.

Digging the artwork by Schiti and Gandini? They’ve become super stars at Marvel and DC Comics working on some of the biggest profile books. Valerio Schiti is currently working on Judgment Day, also stylized as A.X.E.: Judgment Day. Gandini is coloring Blood Syndicate and Deathstroke.

Should You Buy This Comic Book?

We saw the War Thor cut loose against the forces of the Queen of Cinders this issue. Whoosh, he made short work of them. He also took on two heavy hitters in the form of the Enchantress and Ulik. It was all out action and a good issue overall. Buy it.
