Thor Love and Thunder's a scattershot fairy tale about being friends with your ex. By Charles Pulliam-Moore Jul 5, 2022.
With the new bearer of Mjolnir finally in play, it's high time to see what she can do. Thor's bold new era continues here in issue 2, writer Jason Aaron giving the newest Goddess of Thunder a crash course in hammer swinging and lighting calls. The resulting read is an entertaining and lively affair, further bolstered by the sheer giddiness emanating from Aaron's mysterious lead. While answers to her identity prove tough to come by, she nevertheless leaves a hammer sized impression on the Marvel Universe at up right where he left off, Aaron immediately dives into the mind of his newly-worthy warrior, literally. Unlike Thor's puffed out sense of assuredness, this new Thor has absolutely no idea how she came to possess his hammer or why, her inner musings laced with confusion and no small amount of elation. Luckily for her, Mjolnir has read the Thor-swap Cliff Notes, the magic hammer speaking through its new vessel with helpful tips and appropriately Thor-ish verbiage. This two-toned way of speaking goes a long way in communicating the vast difference between the veteran Avenger and newly minted rookie, though she quickly proves more than up to her legendary the ground, the frosty events of last issue continue to escalate in various ways, Aaron building off of the teasers left behind in Thor God of Thunder 25. It's refreshing to see so much of what came before tie into what's happening now, as the new Thor's presence in the proceedings feels just that, new. Issue 2 serves as an introduction of sorts for both the reader and the character herself, as the breadth of her newfound abilities is put to the test in a number of appropriately heroic ways. Aaron cleverly acknowledges the vitriol that came with the new Thor's announcement, her interaction with the Frost Giants giving way to dismissive taunts. In just a few pages Aaron proves that she's not only worthy to carry the hammer, but to carry the title, her impressive power set and boisterous personality making for an effective and engaging Dauterman is again on hand to render the book’s various exploits, his pencils clean and meticulously constructed. There’s a lot going on this issue both in terms of action and plot progression, and Dauterman deftly handles all of the various twists and turns Aaron throws at him. The artist’s vibrant style is a definite departure from the more subdued look we’ve come to expect but, much like the heroine he depicts, his take is refreshingly different. He finds a lot of avenues in which to be creative, making particularly great use of Mjolnir’s ever careening flight path. Best of all, he makes you believe that this new character can break faces and smash foes with the best of them, his Thor every bit the warrior as her golden locks may be slightly more luxurious these days, but otherwise all is well in Asgard and beyond. Those worried that a change in gender would mean a change in quality have nothing to fear, as Aaron and Dauterman prove more than equipped to deliver the same exceptional storytelling we’ve come to expect. Issue 2 leaves plenty of room for growth both in character development and plot, but with a mighty swing of the hammer, Thor is back in Goddess of Thunder's first real action is a success as Jason Aaron captures the dichotomy between the wizened god and the newbie hammer-holder. Issue 2 is jam packed with the same clever dialogue and awesome action that's marked Aaron's run so far, and if this issue is any indication he shows no sign of slowing down.
