#Thor 475 - Thor battles Karnivore while the Godlings battle the New Men Animal People and by the end Thor threatens to leave - but then joins the Godlings and gets an atrocious 90’s costume that puts @AdamXNeramani to shame!

#Thor 474 - Filler issue where Thor battles Jinni (green), Ogur (yellow? White?), and Mutaurus (purple? Pink?) who serve Prince Alibar of the Mystic Mountain who captured Hogun. Thor defeats them then comes out of his thoughts and is with Godlings & High Evolutionary.

#Thor 473 - Thor battles the High Evolutionary, his Godlings and the New Men which are beasts. Overall, a chaotic story (as it usually is with these “Oh big plans!” Type villains that get overly convoluted. But at least the art is sharp and pleasurable.

#Thor 472 - Roy Thomas takes over as writer, and though M.C. Wyman continues as the artist, this issue does not see the same caliber of art as the previous. Thor qualms with Odin (again) because he wants to stay on Earth (again).

#Thor 471 - Forgot to mention that Blood & Thunder is a crossover so it’s jarring to go from Thor victorious to the next issue Thor’s encased in glass and a ripped Odin is there. Anyway, Thor is finally free of that curse a d destroyed the evil Valkyrie.

#Thor 470 - The crazy Thor continues his vengeance against Asgard but the Infinity Watch catch up to him and try to stop him but they’re laid low. The much cleaner art makes crazy Thor more tolerable but the story continues to ruin the character of Thor.

#Thor 469 - Thor is still a crazy mess and Moon Dragon makes it worse by releasing the Dark Valkyrie which was a fragment of Thor’s imagination now made real. A shining light is this issue sees a new artist (M.C. Wyman) who does a remarkable job in the book.

#Thor 468 - Just when you think the Thor comic can’t POSSIBLY get ANY worse this issue is here to remind you that - no, it CAN get worse. This issue Thor hits Sif like three or four times and ruins any grace he had left and pounds the Hades out of Bill. Such crap.

#Thor 467 - This issue tries to be worse than the previous as Sif turns to Zeus, Ares and Pluto as allies and has to fight Pluto to prove her worth…. Meanwhile Thor hangs out with Dark Valkyrie once again … enthralled by her and apparently free of The Goddess…..

#Thor 466 - If you thought the other issues sucked so far in the pages of Thor like I did - this issue said hold my beer. This issue goes back and forth between Thor and a troll and Thor and Drax without any purpose. By far the worse of this leg of Thor…….

#Thor 465 - Thor listens to Moon Dragon who tells Thor to go beat the snot out of Super Skrull and quickly does so (didn’t even feel like a fight). Dark Valkyrie returns but Thor ignores her to return back to the Goddess as the #InfinityCrusade continues to DRAG on….

#Thor 464 - The #InfinityCrusade continues… and Thor clashes with Hercules in blind rage since Hercules mocked Thor about being taken down by a woman. Thor beats up Hercules until Goddess breaks it up runs Thor through a test that makes no sense and Dark Valkyrie is alive. Sigh.

#Thor 463 - Sees Thor finally free of the Dark Valkyrie’s influence…. Because now he’s under the command of The Goddess for a part of the #InfinityCrusade …. Ho-freaking-Hum. I almost long for the previous DeFalco run because at least it was Eric bumbling not Thor….

#Thor 462 - Now Pluto and Ares fight the crazed Thor - and when Thor calls on the mysterious Valkyrie - she doesn’t help. But crazy Thor being crazy smashes Ares and Pluto manages to escape reporting to Zeus that Thor attacked unprovoked. Slutty Zeus swears vengeance.

#Thor 461 - The crazy Thor following a Dark Valkyrie and then in his madness (still not explained for two issues now) he comes to blows against Beta Ray Bill and pounds him into the ground. Was not a fan of the writing or art.

#Thor 460 - Never been a fan of when a new team of writers comes on and completely undoes everything the previous had done in a single issue. I’d rather see it slowly done. This issue throws everything out the window. Wasn’t a fan. Didn’t enjoy the art either.

#Thor 459 - Though aware of the Enchantress’ trick against Eric, Odin allows the battle between Eric-Thor and Thor continue as we see a not so subtle hint that another “hammer” is being made. As the fight concludes, Thor reclaims the hammer and Eric gets a mace.

#Thor 458 - Eric, as Thor is tricked by the Enchantress who poses as Sif to kiss him and command him to go fight Thor in order to free Sif. During the battle of Eric-Thor and Thor, Eric accidentally strikes Sif and enrages Thor!

#Thor 457 - Eric does the gauntlet to separate himself from Thor and succeeds in his task - but in the end gives Eric the hammer to continue to be Thor which really doesn’t solve any of Eric’s problems. Also they elude to Sif having feelings for Eric after they shared a kiss.

#Thor 456 - The most pleasant surprise everyone I read this issue is seeing Earth Force again (they need to be used more and more seriously!) as they help Code Blue face off against Bloodaxe. Thor decides to take Odin’s test to separate him from Thor….
