(...yawn...) Things could get pretty dull in the old Golden Realm if Thor ends up ruling Asgard! I started buying Thor again when Simonson took over. I like his scripts, the initially interesting twists he added to the book, and his occasional tongue-in-cheek godly humor. His *style* of art also seems appropriate for the book, though he isn't in my top five favorite artists. The momentum of the book seems to be on the decline--it's hard to describe. Maybe the novelty is wearing off for me; maybe Walt's simply run out of his pet ideas for the book and hasn't developed anymore truly avant-garde directions to take next. I'll bet Odin claws his way out Muspelheim (sp?) real soon and bails out the whole situation (again, yawn.....). BRING THOR BACK TO MIDGARD*!!! Give him a few super powerful, diabolical baddies to dispatch and make it interesting! I realize many readers have refined their tastes ;-) beyond such petty conflicts, but frankly I'm tired of Asgard and the dopey doings of godlings! Ho-HUM!!! What say the net?? Chuck *earth
