Midgard (12). Aaron's day-in-the-life story about what Midgard means to Thor is terrific. It not only offers Thor some great scenes with past and future supporting cast, but it also shows how Thor's obsession with Midgard is eternal, which nicely bookends the stories of past and future Thors [8/10]. 
 The Accursed (13-17). This storyline starts off nicely with an utterly terrifying Malekith. Unfortunately, it quickly descends into a snipe hunt where the formerly terrifying Malekith is constantly on the run. Fortunately, the comic is saved by a humorous group of adventurers that Thor leads and by a magnificent look at many of the Nine Realms. It's a fun magical mystery tour that really plays up the mythic side of Thor. There's a neat ending too, though it's about two issues too late, after the plot has dragged. I have no concerns about whether this plot was introduced to support the movie or what; I think Malekith is a good villain, and Aaron makes his scary. However, I do have problems with how things fall apart after the first issue [6/10]. 
 Young Thor (18). This final story, about a young Thor and a dragon is a little shallow but still enjoyable [7/10]. 
 Overall, the weakest Aaron volume to date, particularly in the major story, but it's still got a lot of good points.
