review 1: A less than stellar tie-in. A prelude should be an indicator of things to follow, creating anticipation and tantalizingly alluding to what's next. All this volume did was rehash the first "Thor" and "The Avengers." I could see the why, but the book explored nothing new or revelatory about the material covered. There were occasional new humorous parts (Iron Man and Thor talking tv shows, and Cap with Widow and Hawkeye commenting on Thor's god status). A few insightful bits pepper the collection, mostly about how Asgard figured out Loki's plans, Thor's arrival on Earth, and some post-New York battle fallout. Darcy and Jane feature in a few panels, but she spends more time moping about Thor than anything else, which is a bit of waste of an appearance. In short, this book wasn... more't very good and didn't reframe the cinematic stories preceding or following it. Honestly, the archived comic, "Thor: God Of Thunder #13," at the end of the volume was far more appealing. I will definitely be looking up that arc.
review 2: Actual rating 3.75 starsIn addition to the two part prelude to Thor: The Dark World, this graphic novel also contains the two part adaption of the movie Thor as well as Thor: God of Thunder #13.The Thor: TDW prelude was definitely the high point for me, as it bridges the gaps between the first Thor movie and The Avengers and then from The Avengers to Thor: TDW.Can't say that I'd recommend it to non-MCU fans, though, as I felt it could be a bit confusing to those not already familiar with the movies. less
