Thor Ragnarok Roy Thomas John Buscema Books Reviews

This trade paperback (TPB). Collects issue #s 272-278 of the mighty Thor (1966) in full color but printed on cheap paper. This collection is telling a tale of Ragnarok once again(or the end of the world in Nordic legend).Also includes the appearance of a new red-headed Thor impostor. These issues occur directly prior to the so-called "Eternals Saga" collected in other Thor trades but aren't necessary to enjoy those stories.
Unfortunately, the entire thing seems rushed. The script by Roy Thomas lacks the necessary connective tissue, and just seems to jump from one panel to the next, He also doesn't handle the archaic "Asgard speak" very well; Most of the dialog comes off like he used some freeware computer program to translate modern English to that type of speech Thor is famous for. John Buscema's art also lacks a certain spark so often seen in his work in the Conan the barbarian title he's best known for. It is especially evident in the lady Sif, Mr. Buscema's depiction of her couldn't be more of a generic female character with black hair. Also, apparently, the Midgard serpent has buttons for eyes, like Kukla Fran and Ollie (showing my age there).All in all, I've seen much better work from both these gentlemen. I'd give this collection a generic 3 out of 5, not terrible, but not great either. For great I'd direct readers to volumes 1-5 of the mighty Thor by Walt Simonson (at least 1&2Thor Visionaries - Walter Simonson, Vol. 1Thor Visionaries Walter Simonson, Vol. 2Thor by Walter Simonson Volume 3specially with Sartur, or vol.s 4&5Thor Visionaries - Walter Simonson, Vol. 4Thor Visionaries - Walter Simonson, Vol. 5, vol. 3= the Thor frog issues among others).
I can't believe this book only has a three star rating. This book is pure, classic unadulterated Thor, with Norse mythology masterfully interwoven through the Marvel lens by Roy Thomas, & illustrated by the legendary John Buscema. This team was responsible for a long, epic run on Conan the Barbarian, so is there any doubt they could create an awesome Thor story, filled with warriors, gods, monsters, epic battle & the end of all things? I say thee nay! Though runs like this one are overshadowed by the awe-inspiring, visionary work of Walt Simonson, who also infused Thor with more Norse influences than ever before, the run contained here is still an awesome effort taking place before that aforementioned visionary's run, and for me, a Thor fan for as long as I've been cognizant, is a definitive Thor story, and I hope my review rectifies the unworthy three stars. The book opens with "The Day the Thunder Failed", a fairly faithful adaptation of one of my favorite Norse myths, where Thor & Loki face the seemingly impossible trials of the giant Utgard-Loki. Afterwards we are taken into the present-day & main storyline itself, as Thor returns to Asgard as the events of Ragnarok, doomsday for Asgard & all the Nine Worlds, begins to unfold, and what follows in the ensuing issues is a fairly faithful adaptation of the Nordic legend of Ragnarok, with twists in the mighty Marvel manner- for example, a news crew, including reporter Harris Hobbs & his impetuous cameraman "Red" Norvell, have followed Thor to the home of the gods, but at the worst possible time, as it seems this group of mortals will get not only a big story, but perhaps the last story ever as they are trapped in Asgard as doomsday looms over them, as well as the gods. You can even sense the trepidation of the gods themselves as the prophesized end begins to seemingly unfold, & you see even immortals being aware of their morality, as Thor, & especially Odin, the All-Father of Asgard, try to prevent the oncoming end. Here, Loki, God of Mischief, is at his most evil, & like the myths, has embraced chaos & gives into his destiny of fulfilling the Ragnarok prophecy after his many other schemes have failed, as his plots even produce the scene seen on the cover, as Balder falls- through Loki's treachery- seemingly signaling the beginning of the end. I won't spoil everything for those that haven't read it, but this one has it all- Thor & company facing the treachery of Loki, monstrous trolls & the legions of Hel, the seeming death of Balder, Odin's sacrifice to try & prevent the end, Loki's long-tormented wife(yes, he has a wife, poor woman), Thor vs. Thor(yes, you read that right- you'll just have to see for yourself!), the ultimate battle in the very heart of the Golden Realm, Thor's legendary battle with the massive Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent, in which the God of Thunder himself is fated to die- and a Thor will die- but not in the way you think! All this & more awaits you, as Ragnarok unfolds- but everything is not as it seems, & there are twists at the end that will definitely surprise new readers, & that I still appreciate after countless readings. I highly recommend this story to any Thor fan, or fans of Norse mythology, fans of Thomas & Buscema, or just flat-out epic storylines. For Asgard!!
The story could have used maybe a two issue longer arch. it just felt to hurried, i didn't like the idea of a reporter talking Thor in to letting him and his camera man come to Asgard (He was a bit pushy, I can't see Thor putting up with sh/t) Anyway I didn't like the art as well, John Buscema with Tom Palmer usually clash well, but here, it just OK. The cover is different from what you see on . You can buy a better collection than this.
As much as I enjoyed him as part of the Avengers, Thor is one of those characters I never really followed on his own. As such, this collection probably represents the most issues of his own comic I've ever read. While I wouldn't call this particular story-line ground-breaking, it's a strong example of the classic Marvel style before endless and overly complicated cross-overs became the norm. That's not to say that the collection isn't suitably epic, befitting its title, just that it works well within its own regular cast of characters without gratuitously dragging in half the Marvel universe. Credit here goes to Marvel's ultimate utility player of the period, Roy Thomas. As with DC's Justice Society, Thomas always understood what makes these characters appealing and found ways to add dimension to the Lee/Kirby templates without having to trash/reboot everything that came before. If that idea sounds a bit quaint, don't let it dissuade you. If more current Marvel titles took this approach, they'd be a lot more enjoyable to read.
awesome they better have a good movie
great and I like it
great stoyline that ties in with the origional norse legends . that what i liked the most
