I really like the way these stories were weaved together. The art is gorgeous, almost like photo stills (I would be delighted to have anyones hair in this lol).

I’m a sucker for any Jane Foster Adventure™️, so I enjoyed this. As much as I like her role as Valkyrie, it still feels a little half-baked, at least in comparison to her time as Thor. And that stays true here, where we start things off on a really promising note that gradually starts to unspool as it goes. There’s too much going on and not enough space to let it breathe. If this were the start of an ongoing series, I’d be considerably higher on it, but as a standalone/epilogue/interstitial, it feels at least a little incomplete. Still, there is some great stuff here—both in the art and the storytelling—and I hope to see it and Jane continue in some form. There’s too much potential here, and I’d hate to see it disappear.

I liked the art but I think it could have been better if it wasn't as realistic. I really enjoyed this with it bringing in a lot of pretty well known characters (especially on the Asgard side of things) as well as bringing in a few new characters that are interesting and hopefully used in the future. I will say, I did not really appreciate the white woman stealing a black woman's
