review 1: Crossing both past and present, we get to see how the Asgardian Thor came to be a member of Nick Fury's Ultimates. We begin with the "lunatic" called Thor under supervision by James and Brian Braddock; they call in psychotherapist Donald Blake to evaluate the man and see if he will work for their superhuman arms race. Flashbacks to Thor, Balder, Loki, and the Warriors Three is the final Ragnarok battle intertwine with the mysterious Baron Zemo and his hunt for Asgardian treasures. The yarns all tie together with the reveal of Zemo as Loki himself, and Don Blake as a reborn Balder. Apparently Raganarok cast Thor out to Earth, and the new hammer and suit/belt are man-made technology to help Thor reclaim his powers. A nifty behind-the-scenes look at the Ultimate Thor, providi... moreng much-needed clarification and intrigue.
review 2: Terrific story and similar to Matt Fraction's Iron Man stories in the 616-verse this Thor title blends in quite well to the Thor movie-verse.I'm usually fond of Carlos Pacheco's artwork and I found Dexter Vine's inking on his work the best I've ever seen. Dexter Vines usually teams up and inks Ed McGinnis like no one else and Dexter brings his lush lines to Thor with spectacular results. less
