In the wake of a massive war between the gods, Thor is now the All-Father, the Valkyries are all dead, and Jane Foster has an unbreakable bond with the All-Weapon. Now Jane is torn between her normal life as a doctor and her role as the only Valkyrie ferrying the souls of heroes to the afterlife. Now if only she can figure out how to keep a flying horse in her apartment. A couple years ago I ran across this comic in a list of titles to peruse in advance of the upcoming Thor film with Jane Foster as Thor. I'm delighted I finally picked this up. Jane's a fascinating hero, the playing with Norse mythology and the broader Marvel canon is delightful, and the artwork is gorgeous. Recommended. ( ) I sort of like this new start for Jane Foster, mostly because I've developed an affection for the character during her run as Thor, but the writing here is borderline two-stars for me. It is mostly directed at fanboys, with deep continuity references that will probably drive away casual readers drawn to a female lead character. The humor is corny. Mr. Horse is simultaneously ridiculous and growing on me. I'll probably check out the next volume. ( ) I absolutely loved Jason Aaron's run with Jane Foster as the Mighty Thor. The story was brilliant, with a solid basis for her taking on the mantle, and a natural conclusion for her giving it up. It never felt contrived. So, I was excited to see Aaron and Marvel give Jane a new way to continue as a superhero - as Valkyrie. Minor SPOILER for the War of the Realms: in the final battle, Malekith's forces slaughter all the Valkyries, leaving none available to ferry the dead. Jane decided to take up the hammer of the War Thor to help aid Odinson to defeat Malektih. It works, but the hammer transforms into the All-Weapon, transforming Jane into the last Valkyrie. Since this is essentially an origin story, much of the book is taken up with Jane learning about her new powers and coming to terms with a double life: as Dr. Jane Foster working at a hospital and her new calling as a Valkyrie. There is just enough action to spice up the formulaic plot, and the artwork is simply stunning (what you see on the cover is what you get inside). Just as she did as Thor, Jane must wrestle with being a literal Goddess and maintaining her ties to humanity. This is a great new character that I enjoy enough to buy the single issues, and hope she gets a long series run. Highly recommended. ( ) Valkyrie: Jane Foster Vol 1 1.
