Thor, Volume 1: The Goddess of Thunder by Jason Aaron
4.0
This story is absolutely amazing! I loved the art, as it is not just average nor is it too much. Often women superheroes in comics are very over-sexualized with their costumes, so I was so happy to see that Thor's outfit reflects that of the previous Thor Odinson rather than something completely different.
There are a couple of different plot-lines running through this volume, and I am super excited to see where they all go.
I am so intrigued by the mystery of "Who holds the hammer?" (the title of the next volume--so, fingers crossed, I will find out soon!). I particularly love seeing the way Aaron had the antagonists react to this new Thor and Aaron's little jab at all of the people who will see this and go "What do you mean Thor is a woman?!" The fact that she is a woman has no effect on her being Thor, and I love that she is doing things with Mjolnir that Odinson could never do.
We didn't get to see a lot of our new Thor in this volume--definitely my main and pretty much only complaint--but I can tell that we will definitely see more of her in the later volumes as we definitely saw a spike in Thor's appearance towards the end of the volume.
(I will say that going in having a slight background of the story of Thor is almost necessary. I have seen the two Marvel movies, but if I had not seen those, I would be utterly confused as to some of the antagonists in this story.)
