review 1: Let's put it this way: I wouldn't read it again, and I'd have very little desire to read the series following this. I have nothing against Sif, and in fact, have usually been pleased that at least in Asgard, women can kick ass. There's potential with the character as a no-nonsense ass-kicker, but why the focus on amping up her testosterone?? She's not Thor, she has more dimensions to her than that, maybe explore there? Some of her stuff on Earth was OK, so maybe give her some more stuff there? Or throw her into space, back with Beta Ray Bill or something? I feel like the story didn't help the character at all, and it was a mis-step for a good character. I do however, think there's potential for a series about Asgard, with Heimdall, Sif, Volstagg, Hogun, Fandall, etc. now T... moreHAT would be good...if done right.This was OK, nothing more, and while usually I enjoy having female characters that can fight, this just seems completely odd, and then somewhat abandoned by the end...
review 2: I've always loved the Asgardians, ever since 2012 when I first saw the Thor movie. I read every Thor related comic I could get my hands on, and one of the characters I fell in love with was the lady Sif.This comic did the character justice. Probably one of the most fun and light-hearted comics I read, right up there with Slott's She-Hulk and Fearless Defenders. If you want something nice and refreshing other than those shitty grimdark comics, this is for you. less
