I hated that, I sometimes get the feeling the reason they punked Asgard was to get back at JMS. Yeah there were complaints some comics came slow when he was at Thor but J. Michael Straczynski planned great and he done wonderful building up the power and mythology of Thor. JMS revealed himself and Marvel's Editor Joe Quesada are no longer on speaking terms. Perhaps after JMS was fired Joe ordered Asgard to be in the cross hairs and agreed with Bendis it would be a good idea to disassemble everything JMS built up. I hate the way Asgard looks and feels now, none of them have any credibility anymore. Bendis made them Earth's greatest jobbers.
Cosigned. Honestly, as an avid Thor fan, it's gotten to ridiculous levels. I expect more from "gods", especially one that carries the history and prestige Thor does. At this point, I'm not quite sure which direction Marvel wants to go with Thor, but for the sake of his credibility, I hope it's something notable and relevant. I've accepted the fact that the days of his more spectacular feats are long past, but at least give him something.
But hell, what do I know?
