A chosen son seemingly determined to simultaneously live up to and defeat his father's expectations. A brother who's influence he cannot abide but will never escape. Join Thor in Asgard for a timeless archetypal family drama played out against a cosmic backdrop where the human journey toward humility and compassion is also Thor's journey toward godhood and worthiness.

Art reminds me of Bryan Hitch a bit (not in a ripoff way) but more comicky than Hitch generally goes.

I'm w/ ckal, tho'. How many times has Thor's beginnings been told now? This is when I hate there are movies based on comics (at least with the big two and esp. Marvel) is because they have a tendency to retell the same story so that it can be updated to coincide with the movie.

alekesam Thanks for writing that, exactly my thoughts regarding the art.

Anyway, this is a lettered preview unlike the previous one...so I think it should be okay, isn't it? But for the origins itself, I honestly have never seen any other featuring Thor, and I guess this one doesn't look that bad either.

I am tired of batmans, supermans, spidermans, thors any marvel or DC main hero's origin story. lets do some epic shat, quit reintroducing the same stuff over and over and then some re imagined with the same stuff, I love our heroes like everyone in here, but i speak for all when we wanna see a story line that's a war or something. darkest night, civil war story line. anything far ahead of the origins. are you with me CBM fans!!!!?
