Review of
The
Mighty Thor 467 October 1993
Four out of five stars
This comic is
an installment in a crossover series that features Roman, Greek and Norse gods
from antiquity. As the title implies, the Norse god Thor is the main character
and Odin is also mentioned. Ares, the Greek god of war and Pluto, the Roman god
of the underworld join forces to attack Thor and the Norse goddess Sif must
engage in combat with Pluto in order to save Thor. The battle between them
takes place in front of the Greek god Zeus with an audience made up of others
that reside on Olympus.
With so many
different gods from the three main mythological backgrounds of western civilization,
this is a story that a teacher in the later years of the K-12 sequence could
use to detangle the complexities of mythology. It is a very complex story with two
concurrent threads.
