I did mean it to be humorous. But besides THAT...not much happens.
Re: Asgard? I don't mind the medieval look. Sure I like it more cosmic as well but I don't think it would look very good in Montana.

Well, I read #2. Basically all filler, no thriller. Kind of boring actually.
However, the art remains beautiful, and JMS does a pretty good job conveying Thor's mood and his love for Sif (who IMO is *the one* for Thor).
I'm into it still though, and ready for more. Especially looking forward to what's next, which hopefully will be the other Asgardians before too long. Like Doublechinner, I also want more of the Kirby influence.
Not too much originality so far, and pretty slow, but its still pretty well done despite all that. Also enjoying Don Blake.

Has the third issue of this come out yet, or have I just missed it? I am really looking forward to the meeting with Iron Man and seeing Thor kick his arse. I don't have this on my pull list (I was going to give it a couple of issues yet) but this issue looks like the one to win me over.

I breezed through a 'sneak peek' copy at my CBS-- the Thor/Iron Man confrontation takes up most of the book, but more important, to me at least, was the glimpse of how Asgard will apparently be repopulated.
The first 'new' resident is either a very appropriate one, or exactly the opposite, depending on how you look at things.
I'm amazed that ol' Goldilocks debuted at #1. I hope that portends good things ahead.

Mystery Lad, if I remember correctly his previous series was ranked pretty high (Jurgens/JRJR) but kept dropping especially after JRJR (edited) left.
As for repopulating? Thialfi rocked! I would love to see him back.

-- COOOOOOOL! JMS really has a handle on the language of Thor (and without the "thees" and "thous") - there's almost nothing more badass than Thor giving a speach about how he's going to rain godly vengeance upon you! Tony Stark certainly gets a taste of what's coming to him, with Thor drawing a line in the sand. His description of what would happen should the government act against him is downright biblical.
His smaller speach later when summoning his long lost asgardian brother is just as effective, though with a very different feel. (the aforementioned Asgardian also happens to be my favorite supporting Asgardian!)
And of course Coipel's art rocks the friggin' house!

I enjoyed the latest issue! JMS does have Thor's dialogue down pat. Love it. Love the art! And love seeing Tony getting his helmet handed to him!!!
Thor is more powerful? No he just isn't holding back!
The intro of the other Asgardian? eh. One of my faves if not my fave but the whole gods as humans ignorant to the fact that they are gods...was old before JMS tried it and is only going to get older. Marvel already did that with the Asgardians not so long ago.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

I bought this just to see Tony Von Doom get his butt kicked. Very gratifying.
And wow, that was the *perfect* Asgardian to appear at the end for the current situation. Entire governments may be mobilizing against you? Who better to have standing watch than a man who can hear every sound in the nine worlds without fail? Stark can't even mutter 'Thor sucks' under his breath, let alone something like 'let's nuke Asgard,' without it being known instantly...
Still, my absolute favorite Thor supporting character has yet to arrive. Bring on Loki!

I thought it would've been cool to have Heimdall actually look right at the spy satellite at the end. (a bit of a cliche I know, but very appropriate)
