THE BLACK WINTER IS HERE. A god. A king. A herald. Every title Thor has worn has come with its own powers, its own terrible responsibilities. But none of them will be enough to stop the Black Winter. To save the Ten Realms – the entirety of the Multiverse – the Odinson must become…something else.
Thor versus an entity so overpowering that even Galactus is scared enough to make the King of Asgard an unwilling herald. For a first arc, the story escalated so quickly that it would be hard to top this.
Out of all the Marvel characters, it feels like Thor has gone through the most changes in recent years. Yet, one thing that will never change: the amount of danger he consistently faces. In Thor #5, that statement has never felt truer. Thor is now King of Asgard, perhaps ironically, since that is not something he wanted.
They say the best rulers are the ones that avoid the power. Here’s hoping that proves true for Thor as well, though he’s currently facing a crisis like no other.
With a new creative team behind Thor (for the first time in ages), it feels like this series has something to prove. Or that it is a plot that has been stewing in the back of somebody’s mind for quite some time. Either way, Thor has been thrown into the deep end this time.
Es mi cómic favorito de esta etapa por el momento junto con el primero. Me ha gustado muchísimo todo el diálogo con el Invierno Negro y las interesantes reflexiones que va planteando, así como un repaso por todos los villanos a los que se ha enfrentado Thor y las veces que ha muerto.
