Thor: The Mighty Avenger #1-6 (until 8)
6 CBZ's (Minutemen) | Marvel | Release Dates Jul 8 - Nov 24 2010 | 128.96 MB
is one of those rare comic books that, despite expectations it's going to be another brainless big event Thor title designed to drum up sales for the upcoming Thor live action motion picture, managed to surprise everyone by starting out to be great and, in the words of comicbookresources, "just keeps getting better and better" with each succeeding issue. It's basically a re-imagining of the Norse God of Thunder told in a simple, straightforward and free-of-continuity streamlined manner, yet somehow keeping things grounded with spot-on and thoughtful character development by a creative team that's just perfect for a comic book like this. The story lines and artwork are fun, great and dynamic, and, by current issue #6, one genuinely sweet romantic comic book (for non-stop action graphic violence nothing can top the Garth Ennis ). For me this is the best among the current Thor titles (and many who have followed it agree with me); yet, because of flagging sales, it will be cancelled after issue #8 this January 2011. Which is truly a pity. All high-quality Minutemen scans.
