Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman’s latest crack at the Thunder God got off to a Mighty fine start, their debut serving as a balanced rainbow bridge between Marvel’s new status quo and the incendiary events preceding it. With their follow-up the creative team delivers more of the same. The issue is filled with great characterization, escalating stakes, and the return of a certain God of Mischief, ensuring that no matter who holds the hammer, this book remains worthy.
The debut did a fine job in its setup, exploring both the trials happening in and around Jane Foster as well as the various machinations of her adversaries. Aaron wastes no time in adding further flame to the book’s ever growing fire, at long last returning Loki to the fold. The trickster immediately proceeds to steal every scene he’s in, Aaron imbuing him with a great balance of feigned innocence and devious intent. The inclusion of Loki and his Frost Giant father, Laufey, only builds on the book’s impending dread, as the War of the Realms continues to increase in size and scope.
