Right-o. In view of Thor: Dark World movie sequel being played in the cinemas right now, I am going back to the source material to let all of you who DO NOT read comics know that you should. Why? Well if you go back to this particular arc by Walt Simonson, it basically starts from the 330s and builds up with its climatic conclusion in 353 and the aftermath for easily another 10 or so issues. However, as I have reviewed earlier issues in my main blog, for this I am choosing the final 2 parts of the story thrust352 is one long fight issue kind of like the middle chapter of LOTR. Basically we have Malekith's plans coming to fruition as he assisted the fire legions of Surtur to break free from their entrapped prisons and rained forth on planet Earth. We see loads of heroes in cameos fighting side by side with military, SHIELD and even regular policemen to defend the march of the fire people while in the end, they realized along with Thor that the only way to stop them is to go to the source and fight on both fronts.
First is the frigid winter that is clouding over Earth trying to break back the early days of our existence i.e. ice sheets with next to no creatures. And to do this, they have to fix the Casket of Ancient WintersNext is to send all the aliens back to where they came from and also to close down the portal so that no more fire enemies can come charging through the portal
And finally, the heroes' quest? To fight against Surtur in Asgard
As you can see, we have so much going on in the 22-pages that will leave everyone waiting with bated breath during its original monthly run
The action is unbelievable and Walt's artwork is perfect. Everyone looks huge and muscular but not over the top like the Image boys not saying that Image is not great but Walt here gives simple lines that convey power. And let's not forget the lovely sound effect balloons. Here it is awesome and not just run of the mill Ka-Boom
