Review: I read these stories in the previously-published paperback editions. War’s End 5-stars “War’s End” collects the final issues of Jason Aaron’s run of Thor - #12-16, though there is a “King Thor” volume to come to end the overall story. The first three issues are set during the War of the Realms, highlighting Loki (secret origin, confrontation with really Old Loki, lead-in to King Thor), Cul Borson (secret origin, secret death, secret rebirth) and Young Thor (secrets of hammers), and two post-war issues clearing up Jason Aaron’s plotlines ready for the next guy’s turn (Malekith in Hel, Loki in turmoil, Jane in Asgard, Thor on Earth), and so on, and so forth. They are all superbly written, and even superbly illustrated even though I can’t stand the main artist here. King Thor 4-stars “King Thor” collects the four-issue grand finale to the Old King Thor storyline, and to Jason Aaron’s run on Thor, with plot-elements reaching back to his opening volume that are finally tied-off. This has been an often interesting series, but an often dull one too – War of the Realms went on forever – and this volume sums it all up by being rather dull and overlong. Just read the most recent Loki volume or the Valkyrie opening volume, and then read this; there’s really no comparison. Unfortunately, this is Jason Aaron’s style, or so it appears to me; his current Avengers run is also fairly uninteresting. At least we get an ending here, one that we could see coming, admittedly, and one that could have been done in an Annual or a double-sized issue, but at least it is over. The King is dead. Long live the King.

Review: Mais da metade da edição é tie-in de War of the Realms e pra quem comprou o Omnibus ou o TPB, não faz falta. Quem não comprou, não vai entender nada. As histórias são boas? Claro. Mas falta o complemento. O que vale nessa edição é a mini King Thor que fecha a fase Aaron. Mas pagar por quatro edições apenas é triste. Enfim, a fase é maravilhosa, mas a edição em si não é tão proveitosa.
