Thor #1 (2014)

Thor #1 is a successful new #1 as it brazenly introduces a new status quo for Thor himself, his parents, the hammer Mjolnir, Roxxon Co., and our new female hero--yet truly to be named. Mystery and comedy intertwine with raucous action in a colorful family tale (Odin and Freyja are merrily at each others throats). All involved experience dramatic shifts in power with fantastic art by Dauterman complimenting the wit and action on display. If Thor: God of Thunder leaned too often towards gloom for this reader, it's refreshing to see big changes in tone for this excellent start to a new volume.
