Thor (2020-) #1: Director’s Cut

by Donny Cates

[Quirky Cat]

"A new creative team at the helm of Thor #1 means that there are some major changes on the way. It’s been a long time since somebody other than Jason Aaron has written Thor’s plot, and it’s safe to say that fans have been curious to see what Donny Cates will bring to the series.

We’ve seen countless variations of Thor; young Thor, Mighty Thor, the king of the future Thor, you name it, it’s happened. That means that Cates had a lot to live up to, and a significant challenge in terms of coming up with something new.

Thanks to the ending of War of the Realms, Thor is now King of Asgard. It’s something he’s always wanted, but you know what they say about achieving your dreams. Sometimes you find out that it isn’t what you wanted all along.

That is the Thor we’re introduced to in this issue, and that is only the beginning of our hero’s troubles. We’ve no doubt that those troubles will double with the days to come. And we’re going to be here to read all about it."
