The Mortal Thor #7: Is He Really The Mightiest?

Writer Al Ewing

Artist Pasqual Ferry

Cover Artist Sergio Fernandez Davila

Publisher Marvel Comics

In the Mighty Thor #7, it’s no surprise that Thor is one of the mightiest heroes. This issue explores major themes of his relationships, his powers, and how he fits into the world. Thor is that classic hero that you know will do the right thing. He is the God of Thunder, and he understands and yields his power with responsibility. As far as story, it is quickly paced from the beginning to the end. Thor recognizes not only where he is in the moment, but, also where he is headed. His fast paced skills make him not only strong but also really wise. There are some quiet moments throughout this issue, that I appreciate. Thor becomes very soft in his movements and his demeanor, when he is talking to people he cares about.

When it comes to the art, it pops right off the page. I love how Ferry has intricate detail on how Thor looks when he is regular clothes, versus when he is suited up. A lot of the action scenes look very realistic, and I was really surprised to see that. This artist makes it so realistic, that I had to shut my eyes for one particular part, because I had gotten a little scared.

One thing I know that I wanted to see in this issue, is I wanted to see more of Thor’s personal life. What is Thor outside of running around, and being a hero. I want to see him in the wild, hanging out with his Avenger’s friends. I want him to be a “normal” guy, and see how he deals with real world stuff. Sometimes I feel like with the heroes, they get away from the “on the ground” problems. I hope in the next few issues, I can see what I mentioned and a lot more. This story was solid, but it went by very quickly. Hopefully, Ewing can stretch it out, and give some more depth to Thor. Overall the issue is great, and can’t wait to read more issues and complete the run.

Overall Grade: 8/10
