Journey Into Mystery #630(Fear Itself tie-in):
Summary: My god... This issue was all about Volstagg! The horror!!! The only thing worth mentioning is that it's revealed definitively here that yes, Volstagg was indeed the Asgardian controlling the Destroyer armor(which wasn't a huge surprise, but was at least explained). Other then that, this issue involved Volstagg telling his children the fake story of how he and Thor ended the threat of the Serpent. Sorry, but there's NO way I'm going to get more in depth with this issue than that!
Thoughts: Ugh... In case you didn't know, Volstagg is the Asgardian I hate the most. I think he's supposed to be a joke character, but unfortunately for me, I don't find him the least bit funny. So yeah, that's a pretty serious problem. The only part of this comic worth anything were the first 6 pages or so with Loki. But once Volstagg went home and started telling his terrible stories, the bottom of this issue fell WAY out for me.
Score: 2 out of 10.

Wow, I liked way more this book than the Thor book.
ReplyDeleteYou know for a rushed story about the serpent I liked more the fake Volstag tale than the one explained in Thor.
Well I just plain hate Volstagg, so whenever he's the focus of the comic you KNOW I'm going to hate it!
