I like Busiek as a writer but damn if he didn't piss me off at times when it came to Thor. Sometimes he wrote Thor so well and gave us interesting takes, but at other times....
For one, I didn't like the fact that he thought of Thor's weather powers as more natural instead of supernatural. That scene in JLA/Avengers where he couldn't control the Red Tornado stands out. He also attached some random rule to Thor's teleportation. He couldn't teleport unless the season or some other stupidity was aliened correctly. He in general took the low end aspects of Thor. Durability and strength wise as well.
At times I'd think his Thor was a power house, then at others, I went wtf? True he wrote Thor as the most powerful of the Avengers, but any writer worth his salt would do the same.
His Thor's personality was also horrible at times. The scene where he threw Mjolnir at the reporters was just silly.
Fighting Superman to a near stalemate was probably Busiek Thor's greatest showing.
Thor still wins.
