Originally posted by DreamcatcherThat is suspicious. Maybe Blakes been reading the newspaper. I am unsure of the Odin thing. Although Odin had nothing to do with Ragnaroks end, I am pretty sure the odin power left thor during his slumber. Another problem is the setting and Thors change in character. Keeping asgard on earth is the last thing odin would do , he only spent time with mortals in small doses. Another is Thors demeanor, I don't see the same naiive thor that bent over every time Odin issued a command. All the hints point to Odin not coming back yet I get the feeling he is. Maybe its just me.
The thing is though, Thor never died. He stated he was only taking a rest "the slumber of the gods" as he called it. There is actually no reason why he shouldn't have the runes and Odin Power, unless Odin is alive. Which he isn't, considering he had no ties to the gods departure and the end of Asgard. His death took place 50 or so issues before that time.I'm also wondering how Thor knows all that took place in his absence? Is it a hint of omniscience?
