I really enjoyed reading this collection. It’s not without issues, but for me it was enough to make it worthy of 5 stars.

that was actually pretty cool. the only thor stuff i've read is jason aaron's jane foster thor and now i'm realizing i didn't even finish that. anyway i knew enough to not get lost while reading this although it got a little weird in the middle with heimdall. i loved jane as thor and she's even cooler now!

Jane Foster used to be Thor and before the War of the Realms, there use to be Valkyries. Now they're all dead and Jane is chosen to take on a new role as Valkyrie, guide and ferrywoman who transports the dead to Valhalla. Of course, the fewer Valkyrie in the world also means villains are out in full force, and Bullseye has set his...um...target, on Jane Foster. Stealing her Asgardian weapon Dragonfang, she must battle Bullseye before he wields it, as one stab from Dragonfang will kill, be it normal human or God.
I love Jane Foster. I love Jason Aaron and Al Ewing. The art in this is AWESOME, possibly the best part of the whole thing. I really enjoy stories about Jane Foster and the fact that she's thrown into these situations as a human being asked to become a God. That being said, she still has a day job she's struggling to maintain and friends to see. Her life is far from normal, and it's fun to read about her being stuck between two worlds. I don't think you have to read War of the Realms in order to understand what's happening here, but it doesn't hurt.

After an exposition-heavy first few issues, this title really takes off. I love Jason Aaron's Thor comics, especially the Jane Foster stories, and I'm excited for where this goes next. The art really stands out.

Overall, very enjoyable. Plays with the genre a bit, little winks and nods to the camera. Horse is the best character, for sure. There were some convenient things that break reality (I know, I know comics but still) and deus ex machina problems, but it still made a fun story.
