I'd be a slathering mess over what does impress you then. <br /><br />I "know" what Thor can do, but to read this action, and have it so vividly drawn, really brings home the awesome power of the God. I've read novels featuring Gods, spirits, demons, wizards, that never truly allow the character's awesome power to manifest.
