Thor is a Marvel Comics superhero, based on the thunder god of Norse mythology. The superhero was created by editor Stan Lee and penciller Jack Kirby and first appeared in Journey into Mystery #83.
On a mission from his father, the omnipotent Lord of Asgard, Odin, Thor acted as a superhero while maintaining the secret identity of Dr. Donald Blake, an American physician with a partially disabled leg. Blake would transform by tapping his walking stick on the ground; the cane became the magical hammer Mjolnir and Blake transformed into Thor.
Tom from the fortress of soliloquy- blog says:
I was wrong about J. Michael Straczynski’s “Thor”. I just finished the first trade, and I quite enjoyed it. I like the various juxtapositions: Asgard and small-town Oklahoma, Thor and Don Blake, the drama of the Marvel universe and the drama of the real world, gods and humans, etc. I’m not thrilled with girl-Loki, in part because it’s reminiscent of “Earth X,” and I’ve seen what letting elements of “Kingdom Come” seep into the main timeline has done to the DCU.
