ComicCritic87's comic spotlight- MIGHTY THOR #8. introducing the new thunder god, is he a fitting replacement for Thor. check out my review. *SPOILERS* inside. ComicCritic87’s comic spotlight. Hello there friends, this week is a very minor and small week of comic releases this week, it was only 5 issues but it wasn’t substantial enough to do a weekly review. Don’t get me wrong, this was a pretty good week of comics, Teen Titans was awesome, Justice League Dark was amazing, Godzilla did become worth reading, and Kick-ass was pretty interesting. However the one comic I will be spotlighting will be….MIGHTY THOR #8. This is a highly anticipated post Fear Itself Thor title with a totally new character being introduced as the “new” Thunder God named Tanarus. Who is he, where did he come from, and what does this mean for Thor. let’s find out (Spoilers a plenty in this too) Quick Note: Tanarus is based off of Tanaris, a Celtic god of Thunder, however in the story and Marvel universe, he is claimed to be a Norse god, suck on that history buffs.lol. The Mighty Thor #8- THE MIGHTY TANARUS 1: Lost Written by Matt Fraction Artwork by Pasqual Ferry. Story: Taking place after the events of Fear Itself 7.2 (which I didn’t read) the realm of Asgard has changed since Odin has left power. Three goddesses have joined to be known as the All-Mother, these three women are Gaea, Freyja, and Idunn who come to the united creatures and beings of the 9 realms to bring about a new order of democracy and prosperity which they have dubbed Asgardia. Meanwhile as repairs of Asgard take place, Loki does not trust or believe in the new mysterious being called Tanarus, claiming to be Loki’s brother. Loki meets with Kelda who is still grieving over the loss for her love, Bill, warns Loki that there is trickery afoot and only he can solve it in time. We then cut to Tanarus attacking a giant monster only soon teleported to a chamber of Trolls and their king. The troll King tells Tanarus not to do anything stupid or else their plan goes down the drain, because Tanarus is a Troll in disguise thanks to a spell by the Troll queen. Back with Loki, he finds the human host of Thor, Donald Blake at his office and needs his help. Just as the issue wraps up, Thor awakens in a weaker body frame is in a room with two mysterious beings who about to enter the Demon forge. Review: I been following the Thor title since the JMS run, which was a fantastic run, then Gillen came on and made it amazing, then Fraction came on, he did a good job but soon he got to take the character to a new book set in the same universe but following its own story and continuity. So much like any Matt Fraction work there’s build up with mostly exposition and little bits of action, saving all the action for the end. This issue does manage to give us enough early backstory as to who Tanarus is at first, giving us an altered perception of reality where Thor never existed but his actions stayed but replaced by an imposter. I did like that there is one person able to remember who Thor was and on a mission to bring him back (let’s be honest, Thor will be back before May in time for the movie). I like seeing Donald Blake making a comeback, he has been silent since the early Fraction run but now he seems to be a key plot element. What I didn’t like and felt was the biggest disappointment of the entire issue was in one issue….ONE ISSUE we see who Tanarus really is and that he is part of a coupe to overthrow the All-Mother. I had so much hype and hopes for this character, I was expecting him to be this wiser and kinder Thunder God who was to replace Thor while he “died” but was secretly being treated, but sadly my hopes were dashed in only a few pages. Another small peeve that gets to me is that Kelda is still grieving over the loss of Bill, he was introduced in the JMS run and became Kelda’s one true love, but sadly he was killed off and went to Valhalla where she would watch from a afar, but she seems to be less of an interesting character since there has been no closure for her, they keep reminding us of her and it detracts from better story telling. Overall I feel this issue was good but a major missed opportunity for telling us a greater story with a character that could have and should have been told better. I have faith in Fraction to bring us a good arc but the suspense and mystery is all gone. Artwork: I have nothing but praise for Pasqual Ferry, he is to me one of the best artists in the comic book industry and I’m so glad he is doing some more mainstream titles. He joined with Fraction in the Thor run just after Gillen finished up his extra arc, I love the way Ferry draws characters, giving the fantasy element a helping dose of Science Fiction aesthetic. This return to form with the Thor characters continues that tradition; he gives the tiniest characters such nice detail and the way some armor and clothing appear seem very well done. The design of Tanarus is not that bad; his design is unique and does separate himself from the look and feel of the Asgardians. His armor seems to be inspired by the armor which features spikes, so does Tanarus’s armor features. I did like seeing Thor being depowered, having a weaker body frame similar to Blake’s. Overall Ferry is great with his artwork, I hope he does many more titles; I would die if he was signed on to draw Amazing Spider-man. Conclusion: Overall the issue had some good build up and a well-kept pace, however the big reveal as to who Tanarus was in the first issue without proper build up was a major disappointment. The artwork is nothing short of AMAZING and deserves much praise is what keeps me on this book. Grade: B- Well that’s all for this week, next week is only 2 comics; I will skip a spotlight since it will be the monthly comic round-up then. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy friends…. The Mighty Thor #8 Review. Forget Thor. There's a new thunder god on the block. The mystery behind Tanarus' identity and his relationship to Thor could have formed the foundation of this new arc, but Matt Fraction doesn't seem very interested in prolonging it. Before the end of this issue, most of the major questions are already answered. The downside is that the approach doesn't help Tanarus feel like a vital or very memorable character. The worry is that this arc is merely a method of spinning the wheels until Thor makes his inevitable return in a few months. There's potential there, but a lot is riding on how the next few issues play out. That said, there's plenty of material to chew on here. I was never 100% sold on the idea of bringing Odin back into the mix, so having the All- father replaced by a triumvirate of women is a welcome shake-up. The chaos and political upheaval in Asgard after Fear Itself is pretty compelling so far. It's also satisfying to see Fraction make good use of the all the Nine Worlds. As with "The World Eaters," Pasqual Ferry is adept at capturing the surreal story tone and the diverse looks of these mythological characters. Fraction's script is more jumbled than it needs to be given the various characters and conflicts, but it never fails to entertain. The Mighty Thor #8. Who is this 'Thor?' Doesn't Marvel mean "The Mighty Tanarus" #8? After "Fear Itself" #7.2 introduced the new status quo for Asgard going forward, "The Mighty Thor" #8 expands upon that status quo and begins to form an actual story out of the disparate pieces. This first post-"Fear Itself" issue doesn't just build upon the event, it has strong roots in Matt Fraction's tenure on the title so far. With his original "Thor" collaborator Pasqual Ferry back providing art after returning last issue for the story of Odin and the Serpent, this issue is a good start to what looks like a promising story. Thor died fighting the Serpent in "Fear Itself" and is now replaced by Tanarus, the one and only God of Thunder that Asgard has ever known. Everyone's memories of Thor have been altered with Tanarus in his place, except for Loki who senses something is amiss. He doesn't remember Thor specifically, but he does know that Tanarus isn't his brother nor is he the God of Thunder. Surprisingly, instead of dragging out the mystery of Tanarus for the readers, Fraction reveals the truth in this issue and it's a surprising and logical plot that uses a few Thor villains taking advantage of the events of "Fear Itself." Asgard becomes Asgardia in this issue, as the three-person All-Mother begins to start rebuilding in the wake of Odin sealing off Asgard space. The events of Fraction and Ferry's "World-Eaters" story has also brought together many different creatures from the Nine Realms, making Asgardia a home to them in addition to the Asgardians. There's a clear direction for the future and it builds well on 'throwaway' plot points from earlier stories. There's a genuine sense that things are different and, for now, that's very appealing. If there's a detractor from this issue it's that there are so many different plots and subplots to address, so many characters that must be mentioned, that a lot of the scenes don't seem developed. Fraction follows up on his depowerment of the Silver Surfer for a page and, while amusing, it's hardly substantive. In the context of this issue, it takes away space from more prominent plots that could use an extra page. He tries to do too much and, in some cases, winds up doing very little. Ferry back on the title is a welcome sight; he and Fraction developed a strong rhythm by the end of "World-Eaters," and he's very adept at getting across the other-worldliness of Asgardia and the beings that inhabit it. Everything he draws looks strange and like it comes from a 'higher realm.' It's a definite sci-fi approach to material that's usually approached from a more fantasy-based place, but it works. That he's not joined by his colorist from "World-Eaters," Matt Hollingsworth, is shame, though. Frank D'Armata's coloring is far more brash and overbearing, not as subtle and complementary to Ferry's line work. The Thor-centric epilogue to "Fear Itself" disappointed me, but Matt Fraction has turned my opinion around. In "The Mighty Thor" #8, he and Pasqual Ferry set up a lot of interesting plots like Tanarus, the new (or old) God of Thunder, Asgardia, Loki's schemes, and Thor possibly not being as dead as we thought he was. That this issue so clearly draws upon Fraction's work to date is encouraging, as well. Once again, "The Mighty Thor" is an exciting read and I can't wait to see what happens next.
