Stan Lee & Jack Kirby - Thor

Reprinting "Journey Into Mystery" issues 111-120, it is a look back at the legend that is Thor. While interesting to see the early history of a Marvel legend, sometimes I find going back and reading a 60s era version of a superhero to be tedious and a bit boring. While Kirby's art is fantastic the visual dynamics that I grew up on just aren't there. Not that this is a bad thing but it is like watching an old movie without all the visual extravanganza. What keeps me reading is the dynamic of the art and the story. While the 60s might have had better stories the late 80s and 90s often had both.
