More fighting between various Asgardians and humans occur this issue which serves as a tie-in to the Siege storyline. Kelda meets her deceased lover’s parents and Volstagg fights the Thor android clone. This issue was filler while the Siege storyline continues its course. It’s a shame that a series that was so strong when it started has become a shadow of what it was and lost all that momentum. Thor barely makes an appearance. Sure, I like Thor’s supporting cast, but I’m definitely not liking where this series is going. I’m putting Thor in the penalty box until after Siege to see if the writers can come up with better stories than the leftovers from Straczynski. The artwork is the best thing about this issue. The colouring is impressive too. However, that’s not enough to keep this reader hooked.
Rating: 6/10
