Thor #6

Written by: Jason Aaron

Art by: Russel Dauterman & Matthew Wilson

Our new Thor's identity is still a mystery months after we found out about this new Thor, but now it feels as if we're finally on track to get some answers.

While some may argue that the mystery of who this new female Thor is has been dragged on for too long, we finally start to receive some concrete clues in this issue (although they may indeed by red herrings). We follow Thor Odinson along as he tries to learn the true name of the woman he has given his own to, as he is as curious as we are. The Odinson continues to be as cranky and hard-headed as ever, but he has his moments of comedy and caring here and there as he approaches the many people he questions.

It was nice to see Dario Agger developed more as a villain, since we barely know about his background. His origin is a sad one, and one that makes sense. It was also a nice touch to have story result in Agger's villainy and spitefullness further explored with a brief moment of pure evil.

Dauterman and Wilson are back , continuing to show off why they might be two of the best artist working for Marvel. The colors continue to stand out on Dauterman's solid pencils and appropriate amount of inks. Seeing new Thor appear (after following Odinson for a while) was still badass six issues later, thanks to the art teams great work.

It's nice to have progress in this book, since the past few issues were focused on Thor's power and battlefield capabilities. It looks as if we're in for some more epic action (which is something we all want from a “Thor” title), so the wait for the next issue can't come soon enough.
