War of the Realms (2019) #1 (of 6): Director's Cut

Man, this plot has been building up for a LONG time, hasn’t it? And I’ve got to say, so far? It’s held up to all the expectations created from that buildup and wait.
There were a lot of iconic moments in this issue. And better yet? A lot of new team-ups and interactions that I had never actually thought to hope for. A bit ashamed about that one, actually. These moments were the laughs that were very much needed to balance out the rest of the intensity.
And yes, it is intense. The battle we all knew was coming did not waste any time getting started. I was actually a little bit surprised by that, truth be told. I won’t go into details, but I will say I’m looking forward to seeing more of it.
I will also say that Thori was a shining beacon in this issue. He’s so hilarious and adorable, even when he’s killing things. He’s rapidly become my favorite character, so admittedly I may be a little bit biased here.
