This was a strong ending to the Tanarus story, with everything wrapping up nicely and Thor getting to kick some righteous ass, but I can’t help but feel that it happened to soon. We only got like 2 issues of the world actually thinking Tanarus was the God Of Thunder, it would probably have been better if we’d had a six-issue arc before this one, in order to make Thor’s return have more impact, because as it stands, he only just died anyway. It’s almost like Fraction had a longer story planned and then realised ‘oh shit, Thor’s going to be in this big movie this summer and he kinda needs to be around’. A missed opportunity really, but as I said, this final chapter did kick ass, the battle scenes were great, and seeing Thor come back was great. I was perturbed initially that Ferry was not drawing this issue, but I like Camuncoli and his layouts and Janson’s inks gave the book a look that was very Simonson, and you can’t as for much more than that with Thor. I wonder where this book goes from here, we’ve got the status-quo with Asgardia and the All-Mother and Kid Loki and Silver Surfer (who seemed to get beaten up a bit too easily here), what next? At least Bill and whatsername got a happy ending.
