![]() Signal the waiter and you’ll be served up a variety of crooked retools of the sick-ass riff from the middle of “Angel Of Death”. War Remains pulls the ripcord in its chest and start sawing away on its E-strings, dressed in the sensibly conservative all-black ensemble of Marshall Amp Thrash Tone. There ain’t gonna be no swelling chorus or sinking reprise. Look at these track names, look at this monochromatic art. In fact, perhaps they’re just a little too good at crowd-pleasing, not rocking the boat and coasting along on good feelings of administrations past. They’ve got recognition, presence, and most crossover competition ( Ninth Realm, Foreseen, and the like) in their rearview. Striking out on their third album, Enforced stand at a point where they could run for the Mayor of Thrashtown. Also the merch costs too much but you’re already in the door Oh My God could this be any more labored let’s get to the bands. ![]() Before I segue out of the metaphor, I also want to point out that like theme park attendees, thrash fans have a reputation for overindulgence on site that leads to ejection. Maybe it’s all just a bit too exhausting in one go, but as a man once said: Buy the ticket, take the ride. When an old favorite isn’t drawing the crowds anymore, or has internal breakdowns that halt operations, it means some new boneshaker has to take its place and keep asses in crotch-splitting plastic seats. Why not take the kids on down to Thrashtown, metal’s longest-running thrill-ride amusement park? If I’ve learned anything from Kevin Perjurer, the park never closes but the rides come and go. But there’s a very “ancient legend” vibe to the color palette and a delicate balance between the comedic and the fantastic.Summer is on the way, sooner than you think. At first glance, once you’ve trained your eyes to Dauterman’s detailed linework, Del Mundo’s bizarre, dreamlike style takes some getting used to. Mike Del Mundo has been handed the artwork torch previously held by such heavyweights as Esad Ribic and Russell Dauterman and so far, he’s leaving a pretty memorable mark. There’s enough obstacles that it’s pretty entertaining watching him “rough it” while the book still maintains the fun, adventurous sense of scale Aaron’s run is famous for. The women end up doing a lot of the heavy lifting, maintaining the new status quo on Midgard as our hero (sans Bifrost) searches for a way to rejoin the effort to save all ten realms from Malekith. ![]() One of the interesting things about this book is that most of the male supporting cast takes a backseat aside from Thor and even he’s still trying to find his rhythm. Though it’s more or less a continuation of the same ongoing story, the end of The Mighty Thor left this new series with a whole slew of conflicts for the Odinson, who’s finally back on watch as the God of Thunder (though Mjolnir is still out of commission). With the “death” of the Mighty Thor, Jason Aaron’s epic saga finds new life in Thor #1. With that in mind, it’s good to know that if one of Marvel’s best comics has to end and begin again or be renumbered, the quality remains. Though it seems to be greatly reviled among fans for some reason, it doesn’t seem to be a tradition that’s going away anytime soon. This is a thing that happens in mainstream comics.
