Scott's Take: Immortal Thor Vol 2: All Trials Are One by Al Ewing

 

Immortal Thor Vol 2: All Trials Are One by Al Ewing collects issues 6-10 plus the Roxxon Presents issue. This is a more scattered volume than Immortal Thor Vol. 1: All Weather Turns To Storm. There are a couple issues set in the past setting up future events which I am not fully sure of how important they actually are. Thor and Loki face the Trials of Utgard and Thor confronts his Mother Gaea about why she let the Utgard out. The final issues deal with Thor going after Roxxon (the evil oil company) but he is walking into a trap set by the Enchantress and Skurge.

 

So, this volume is all about Thor being constantly manipulated and messed with by people with their own agendas. Several of these people claim to be helping him. The trap set for Thor is pretty clever and unique. This volume feels less connected than the previous volume. Ewing likes his complex tales, but sometimes there are too many spinning plates at once, in my opinion. The art works well for these tales. I enjoyed this volume, but not as much as the first volume. I read this through Marvel Unlimited in the app.  Volume 3 is called the End of All Songs and is out now.
