Thor, Volume 1: The Goddess of Thunder by Jason Aaron
5.0
This is an, ahem, marvelous story.
Proving that they are self-aware, the story even addresses the complain many fans had (have?) in making the manliest of men a woman during her fight with Absorbing Man. It takes it a step further when the original Thor accepts Mjolnir's choice of a new worthy one; he refuses to saddle her with a moniker that qualifies her gender. She's not Lady Thor. She's Thor.
A few other notes of interest:
To make her someone other than just Thor with boobs, her powers are a little different. She throws the hammer at enemies and it bounces around and hits multiple targets before returning to her hand. That reminds me of Captain America and his shield.
She also talks to Mjolnir. Not like Odinson (the name original Thor takes) and his pleading with his hammer to let him pick it up. She's asking it questions. While it doesn't talk back, this reminds me of the fairly recent development of Green Lanterns talking to their rings.
Lastly, even though I know who she is, they did a good job making me think it was Odinson's mom...for about three issues. Then they show that lie.
Great stuff. I'll certainly be continuing on!
