Summary

This is issue #22 of The Mighty Thor (2011–2012), the final issue of the series and the aftermath of the 2012 crossover event "Everything Burns" (the joint storyline of The Mighty Thor and Journey into Mystery). After the crisis in which the fire giant Surtur burned the Nine Realms is resolved, someone must answer for the catastrophe—and the one most likely to be held accountable is Thor, who sought to bring the self-exiled Odin back in order to save the Nine Realms. Odin is furious; Amora the Enchantress brings the charge on his behalf, the dwarf king Hreidmar speaks for Thor's defense, and the gods convene a trial before the Doom Ring: is Thor truly guilty? Does Asgard still need a God of Thunder? Beyond the courtroom, Balder returns from Limbo and stands with the gods of Asgard at Thor's side, while Freyja reveals a long-buried truth. Writer Matt Fraction closes out his Thor run, which began in 2011, with a nearly "static" courtroom drama, bringing characters and threads from earlier storylines back to center stage one by one; artist Barry Kitson, inker Jay Leisten, and colorist Wil Quintana together deliver this issue's closing performance.

Editor's review

这是漫威「Marvel NOW!」改版前的最后一批雷神漫画之一,也是 Matt Fraction 雷神连载的谢幕作。它没有铺天盖地的大战,而是把高潮放在一场审判里——把「索尔做了那么多事,究竟该不该被追究」这个老问题重新摆上台面:魅惑魔女控诉他把中庭的麻烦带进仙宫,矮人王为他辩护说英雄事迹自会说话。对于读过「万物尽焚」全线的读者,本期几乎每个人物都像谢幕一样依次登场,情绪上的回响相当足;IGN 给出 7.3 分,认为结局虽略显仓促、但收束得温暖而有力量。若你关心阿斯加德众神与凡人世界(俄克拉何马州布罗克斯顿)之间长期存在的张力,这一期是很好的收束点。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 追读 Matt Fraction 版《The Mighty Thor》连载的读者
  • 读过「万物尽焚」跨刊故事线、想知道后续收尾的人
  • 喜欢雷神与奥丁父子矛盾、阿斯加德政治戏的漫画读者
  • 想了解 Marvel NOW! 改版前雷神刊状态的研究型读者

Not a good fit for

  • 只想看大规模战斗与特效场面的读者:本期以庭审对话为主
  • 完全没接触过「万物尽焚」和2011—2012年雷神连载的新读者
  • 期待电影宇宙(MCU)设定与人物关系的读者

Reading tips

  1. 建议先读完「万物尽焚」的九期跨刊(Mighty Thor #18–22 与 Journey into Mystery #642–645),否则会看不懂庭审中提及的前情。
  2. 留意庭审双方各自的立场:它其实是在讨论「英雄事迹能否为代价辩护」这一命题。
  3. 单期篇幅短、对话密集,可配合合订本《Everything Burns》一并阅读,效果更完整。
  4. 读完可接续 Jason Aaron 的《Thor: God of Thunder》#1,对照两代编剧的雷神写法的差异。

FAQ

这本是合订本还是单期?
本条目对应的是《The Mighty Thor》(2011–2012)第22期单期,2012年10月31日发行。整条「万物尽焚」故事线的合订本名为《The Mighty Thor / Journey into Mystery: Everything Burns》。
为什么索尔会被审判?
为了挽救九界,索尔设法让自我放逐的奥丁返回;危机结束后,奥丁以「戏弄父亲」为由发难,最终由阿斯加德众神在「末日之环」前裁决索尔是否有罪、是否需要一位雷神。
这一期是「万物尽焚」的最后一期吗?
它是这个跨刊故事线的余波篇,也是《The Mighty Thor》该卷的最后一期;主线战斗已在《The Mighty Thor》#21 与《Journey into Mystery》#645 中收束。
没读过前面能直接看吗?
不建议。本期几乎没有动作场面,全篇围绕前情与人物关系展开对话,不熟悉2011—2012年雷神连载和「万物尽焚」事件会大量错失信息。
