I Reads You Review: THOR #1
THOR (2014) #1
MARVEL COMICS – @Marvel
WRITER: Jason Aaron
ART: Russell Dauterman
COLORS: Matthew Wilson
LETTERS: VC's Joe Sabino
COVER: Russell Dauterman with Frank Martin
VARIANT COVERS: Sara Pichelli with Laura Martin; Esad Ribic, Andrew Robinson; Alex Ross; Fiona Staples; Skottie Young
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (December 2014)
Rated “T+”
Marvel Comics' version of Thor is, of course, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name. Marvel's the mighty Thor is the Asgardian god of thunder; possesses the enchanted hammer, Mjolnir; and is also a superhero, as well as being a member of The Avengers.
Thor first appeared in Journey into Mystery #83 (cover dated August 1962) and was created by editor-plotter Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and penciller Jack Kirby. For most of his 52 years of existence, Thor has possessed Mjolnir, which, among other superhuman attributes, grants him the ability of flight and of weather manipulation.
Thor has possessed that “enchanted hammer” for most of his comic book existence, but there have been times when Thor: the Prince of Asgard, the one true God of Thunder, and the Odinson, has not possessed Mjolnir. One famous example of another being wielding Mjolnir was Beta Ray Bill, a character that debuted in The Mighty Thor #337 (cover dated: November 1983), the first issue of Walter Simonson's acclaimed run as writer-artist of The Mighty Thor.
Now, another new era of Thor begins. Thor will be the “Goddess of Thunder.” As part of Marvel Comics' “Avengers NOW!” initiative, there is a new ongoing Thor comic book series written by Jason Aaron, drawn by Russell Dauterman, colored by Matthew Wilson, and lettered by Joe Sabino.
Thor #1 (“If He be Worthy”) opens in the Norwegian Sea at the Roxxon Seabase. It is about to be visited by some monstrous denizens of the deep, spurred on by an old adversary of Thor's. Meanwhile, on the moon, Thor finds that no matter how hard or how often he tries, he cannot lift Mjolnir. His father, Odin the All-Father, has returned and is not helping the troubling situation. His wife and Thor's mother, Freyja the All-Mother, seems to have accepted this sudden wave of change. The attack on the sea base makes Thor remember that he still has to be a superhero. How will that work out for him without Mjolnir?
This year, I have been reading more Marvel Comics number-one issues than I have in a long time. That's why I picked up the new Thor #1. I am glad that I did; it's an exciting first issue. I didn't think Thor in a state of ultimate humiliation could be such an enthralling character and compelling situation. I didn't think I could yearn so much for him to be healed, but Jason Aaron's script is a thing of wonders. Every scene hits the notes it needs to in order to make this new state of Thor work.
Now, I can't say that I am equally enthralled with Russell Dauterman's art. I liked him more as the artist on the current Cyclops comic book series. Dauterman is not bad here; maybe, the art just needs time to grow on me. I'm curious to see what the second issue is like. I think that's where the real force of change will be felt. In the meantime, I recommend that readers at least try the first issue of this new Thor.

I Reads You Review: CYCLOPS #1
CYCLOPS (2014) #1
MARVEL COMICS – @Marvel
WRITER: Greg Rucka
ARTIST: Russell Dauterman
COLORS: Chris Sotomayor
LETTERS: VC’s Joe Caramagna
COVER: Alexander Lozano
VARIANT COVERS: Greg Land; Skottie Young
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (July 2014)
Rated T+
Marvel Comics’ “All-New Marvel Now!” initiative is offering a seemingly endless onslaught on new series. This includes the launch of some X-Men solo comic book series featuring some of the most popular and iconic X-Men. One of the X-Men getting his own comic book series is Cyclops, one of the original X-Men. In fact, the star of the new comic book is a 16-year-old Cyclops… Let me explain.
All-New X-Men, written by Brian Michael Bendis, was one of the titles that came out of the original Marvel NOW publishing initiative back in autumn of 2012. In this new X-Men comic book series, the modern, blue, furry Beast went back in time and met the original teen X-Men: Cyclops (Scott Summers), Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), the Beast (Hank McCoy), Angel (Warren Worthington III), and Iceman (Bobby Drake), at a time when they’d only been the X-Men for a short time. Grown-up Beast convinced teen Beast and his teammates to return with him to the present to see what had become of their dreams in a world that is our present and their future. It wasn’t pretty.
Springing out of “The Trial of Jean Grey” event, Cyclops #1 finds 16-year old Scott Summers/Cyclops in outer space. He is with the band of space pirates known as the “Starjammers.” They are led by Scott’s once thought-to-be-dead father, Christopher Summers, now known as Corsair. And the reunited father and son are about to embark on an epic father-son journey across the space ways.
The Starjammers were created by Dave Cockrum and first appeared in X-Men #107 (cover dated: October 1977). The Starjammers were straight out of that venerable science fiction subgenre, space opera. Comic books are no stranger to space opera, as many comic book companies in the 1940s and 50s used space flight to take human characters to strange worlds where they met even stranger beings. Two of the best examples of space opera in comics may be Planet Comics, a science fiction comic book series published by Fiction House from 1940 to 1953, and also Weird Fantasy, which was published by EC Comics from 1950 to 1953.
This new Cyclops comic book is not hokey like some old science fiction comic books, but it might owe something to Star Wars, a film that has space opera elements and is considered by some to be space opera. With that in mind, I think Cyclops could be a good thing.
What I am loving about Cyclops #1 right now is the art by Russell Dauterman (pencils and inks) and Chris Sotomayor (colors). It is perfect for this juvenile space opera, and it looks so unique and different, as if Cyclops #1 was a slice of a European comics graphic album. I want to see where writer Greg Rucka takes this, so I hope Cyclops runs for at least 12 issues.
