Thor has returned to Earth from the Heroes
Reborn Universe, and finds out that his home, Asgard is in ruins and
all the gods are missing. Thor returns to Earth and is caught up in
a fight, alongside the Avengers, against the Destroyer. The Avengers
and Thor all fall. As this goes on a paramedic, by the name of Jake
Olsen, sacrifices his life saving bystanders. Thor ends up in Hel
and situations continue (I can't give it all away!).

I love John Romita Jrs work. His Daredevil was awesome, his X-Men
was incredible and his Thor is unreal. JR JR knows how to draw BIG
guys, and draw them well.
Jurgens is used to writing about huge figures
of superhero-ness -- he used to write Superman! The storyline was
good for the two issues, ending with an excellent last page in issue
2. My only gripe is Jurgen's excessive use of Thor's god-like language.
It seems too much. Thor may be an Asgardian god, but thou doth not
needth to speakth god-liketh too muchth.
Jurgens has a lot of avenues for his direction
for Thor, especially with Asgard in ruins. And also with Thor's new
alter-ego, there is a lot of storyline to look into.
With all the Avengers back, and in their respective
books, and team book, once again, Thor seems to be the book to pick
up. A big character, with a HUGE creative team to boot. This is the
Avengers book to read. (Note: Even as good as Busiek is -- read Astro
City for his best work, not The Avengers!).
