Thor #3 Review by (February 12, 2020)

Review: Epic issue doesn’t move very far in terms of plot or geography but emotionally is shows how far apart former allies and friends Thor and Beta Ray Bill have grown in light of this new challenge from Galactus. The verbal assaults are almost as painful as the physical blows between the two and the next issue looks even darker with Sif joining the fray on Bill’s behalf. Yikes.

Comments: Issue includes the title’s first letters column starting with a missive from Jim Salicrup, former Marvel editor, currently editor-in-chief of Papercutz.

Thor #3 Synopsis by Peter Silvestro

After a meditation on how Thor’s immortality means he will forget much of what he has done in his life, we return to Beta Ray Bill telling Thor, the new Herald of Galactus, to stand aside and allow him to attack the World-Devourer. Thor refuses and backhands Bill down to the surface of Clypse’s moon. Thor warns Bill of his increased power as both All-Father and Herald but Bill wants to free Thor from this madness. Thor turns himself back into the normal God of Thunder to show him he has chosen this path. Galactus resents this and blasts Thor from above as a reminder of who is master; Thor strikes back to remind Galactus that he has volunteered for this. Learning that Thor has promised to help Galactus drives Beta Ray Bill into a rage and he strikes Thor down, calling him a traitor to Asgard and unworthy of his hammer. There is a fight that has Bill grabbing Mjolnir out of the air, and Thor warning Bill he will be hurt if Thor summons the hammer from his hand; Bill refuses so Thor summons Bill’s hammer Stormbreaker and shatters it to pieces on Mjolnir. Bill refuses to yield and Thor prepares to strike him down when a bolt of rainbow flashes down to the ground and there is Lady Sif, preparing to defend Beta Ray Bill by fighting Thor….
