A spectacular ending to The Mighty Thor run. This run is ultimately about the nature of self-sacrifice for something greater than one’s self and the power of belief, and friendship, and the temptation of power (even if one is using it for good). The arc throughout the volume is, as it has been, a parallel between Jane Foster’s battle with her own body and the fights that she takes on as Thor. When wielding Mjolnir, she is powerful, the goddess of thunder. When she puts the magical hammer down, she is weak, dying, getting worse each and every time....and in this volume we finally see her get rid of Mjolnir so she can battle the ultimate war: cancer. Will she overcome it?

This is one of the most emotional comics I've read. As Jane Foster, Jason Aaron, Russell Dauterman, and Matt Wilson move on, so shall we all to new and different stories about the Mighty Thor.

We shall, however, always remember that Jane Foster proved herself, if nothing else, worthy.

This gets close to being the pinnacle of superohero comics. And the art is pretty outstanding...with tributes to Jack Kirby's style. This is, in deed, a must read comic. ( )

As the war of the realms comes to Asgardia's doorstep, Jane Foster must make the decision about whether she wants to fight her cancer and have a chance at life as a mortal, or give up her life to fight as Thor.

The final volume of this final arc is chock full of excellent writing, art, and fantastic character arcs. It's all of the beautiful things that a comic book can be and I highly recommend it. ( )

I'm so sad this arc is finished, I enjoyed it so much ( )

The first half was a bit vexing, with all the plot points and every minor character being revisited and all the unrelenting and messy action sequences, but I felt Aaron and company brought the Jane Foster storyline to a decent conclusion when they made time for some small emotional moments between pyrotechnics.

Of course, that darn war of the realms garbage is still hanging out there to be resolved in another Thor title in the future. I'm on the fence as to whether I'll be seeing that through. ( )
