Thor Vol. 2: Road to War of the Realms by Jason Aaron
3.0
I enjoyed this a lot less than the last volume. It was still fine, but it had much less of a narrative that fit together than the last volume. It was focused on a handful of different characters leading up to the War of the Realms. Everyone was just kind of fine. I liked the way the issues progressed forward, there was just hardly any continuity. Especially after the last volume being so epic, I had a hard time getting sucked into this one.
Probably my favorite issue was the one focused on Odin. I always like the narrative device of being able to see how the character’s thoughts are going against their actions. I still dislike Odin as a character based on his actions, but it was nice to see his inner monologue during his fight with Thor. It’s kind of a contrived story at this point that most readers know about, but it was decently executed.
The art was fine overall. It worked, and had some decent moments from Mike Del Mundo. Nothing really stood out in my memory, though. It was mainly just getting lined up for the next arc, though I felt like it didn’t actually accomplish very much in the narrative.
