Marvel's Thor: The Dark World Prelude (2013 series) #1 Review by (June 7, 2013)
Review: What a waste of time and money. This issue, designed to prepare us for the upcoming THOR: THE DARK WORLD is merely a rehash of the end of THOR and the beginning of AVENGERS. No new information is given, the story isn’t told in a particularly interesting way, and the art, while not bad, is hurt by having to slavishly copy actors’ faces. Just another attempt to wring a few bucks out of gullible readers (like me). At least I can justify the expense by warning the rest of you (someone is reading this, right?). Feh and double feh. I hope the second at least tells us something about the new villain but I’m not getting my hopes up.
