102. Marvel Team Up vol 1 #116 ... Valkyrie and Thor ... Marvel

Here's another review from this series. Hey! What can I say except that I loved team-up books more than solo? I guess that's why most of my collection are group comics and I hardly ever buy solo like Thor or Iron Man preferring FF and Avengers

This issue's title has Valkyrie although in smaller words it says Thor and similar to our last review, there are references in this issue to past MTU and Thor's own tales although the recap within is done so well that you don't need to know about the past to enjoy this book

Basically we have Spider-Man under stress from part-time job while trying to finish graduate school deciding one fine night to go out for a swing to de-stress (yeah, right!) while somewhere in the city, Valkyrie feeling bored is flying around to enjoy the night air as well. Unfortunately due to the unique nature of her mystical sword, it attracted the essence (yes we kid you not) of an old MTU villain. And so they hid within and slowly try to possess her to seek revenge on Spider and Thor

On Thor's front, it isn't that simple too as apparently in yet another past life, Thor and Val had a relationship thing going. In the past 15 years, people are screaming about ret-con. Here in the past, it shows comics have already been ret-conning because here when Thor met Val, they went all goo-goo eyes at each other just because he remembered his love (not her though). So how come when in the past without his memories of their time together, she didn't make googly eyes at him, eh?

But ignore the love for the moment and you have a decent tale!
