This version of Thor's Marvel origins is sooo good (and it is similar to the plot of the first MCU Thor film) and it is so great for an all-ages book (that just so happens to be a well-written and fun origin story). And Samnee's art is one of the best modern interpretations of a classic superhero comic style.

Thor: The Mighty Avenger is a wonderfully accessible piece of work that provides a brilliant introduction to Marvel’s take on the classic Norse God of Thunder. However, it remains a tragedy that this is one of very few efforts to provide such a comic, and also that Thor: The Mighty Avenger came to such an unceremonious end, cancelled after only eight issues.

Thor is sent to earth to learn humility (Thor has always been naively arrogant). Thor: The Mighty Avenger might embraces a more upbeat and optimistic vision of Marvel characters than most comic readers have come to expect, that doesn’t mean the comic is simplistic or under-written or suited only for a younger audience. Thor is well-intentioned, but he’s also consistently portrayed as stubborn and arrogant. Despite the fact he’s fundamentally a decent guy, we can see why he might need to learn humility, which turns his journey into one that anyone can identify with.

If you're new to Thor comics or haven't read this one yet, do yourself a favor and pick it up. ( )

This book was great not only including a modern origin story but also including Thor's first 2 comics ( )

I guess that this is considered "all ages" but you'd never know it. Chris Samnee turns in some beautiful art, and Roger Langridges writing is totally charming. Definitely looking forward to the rest of this ( )

So this is closer to the story that the Thor movie ran with than any other graphic novel version of Thor I have read lately, however it's still not the movie exactly which I kind of appreciate. Thor is cast out of his home to learn humility. He meets Jane Foster and saves her twice. His friends come to visit as does Loki and we get a chance to meet Ant Man and Wasp. Also includes the first couple stories of the first Thor stories ever written. ( )
