(...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??
